    Device value changes and increases (or decreases) ?

    I have a need to detect increases or decreases in a virtual device value as a trigger to an event. I see EasyTrigger triggers like A device value was and becomes... but what if I don't know values, only that they increase or decrease from previous values? Is it possible to detect this?

    Thanks

    I think you may need a second virtual device to store the previous value.

    Then you would need 2 events:

    event 1:
    IF "virtual device" value changes
    THEN run event 2
    THEN wait 1 second // you may need this to be sure that "virtual device old" still contains the old value in event 2 comparison
    THEN set "virtual device old" to "virtual device"

    event 2:
    IF "virtual device old" < "virtual device"
    THEN ....

      Not sure what you are doing but I have a similar situation where I control a 10 speed house fan. I wrote a script that allows me to use a single vDevice as the "remote". The script detects speed changes made to the remote, up / down / off and sends the proper set of commands to the fan.

      Look for my posted Airscape WHF script.

        Can you kindly provide a link to your script?

          what spud provided work great for exactly what you asked but if you need something more complex for control of something using numeric values ...

          Let me know if you have any questions. You should be able to adapt it to about anything that needs numeric based "control".

          The script is designed for events to pass speed numbers. It could easily be changed to simply read a given device's value - basically by adding one line of code.


          If you don't need to do anything complex

          FYI - google search for "Airscape Homeseer" brings it up, first link. You can always use google searches to find stuff on the forum. Or the forum search engine

            Thanks Ltek, I appreciate that. It's always nice to have scripts that can be used (and/or modified) for my own needs.

              Thanks for all the replies - it's good to have a few different ways to approach this solution.
