alignment of text in a dummy text device

[JuanUil]

Hi all,

is there a way to change the alignment in a dummy text device in LUA?
I would also like to change the color of the text is that possible?

Thank you for any help

I believe the sensor does accept html format. try that.

I believe the sensor does accept html format. try that.

and how do you do that in LUA?

sorry a newbie in programming

[freijn]

Try this in your " <font color="red">This is some text!</font>"

not sure thought... sorry..

That indeed works fine.

[JuanUil]

So for instance
meldtekst= <font color="red">Dit is een melding</font>
should work?

this gives me a fault unexpeted symbol near <

[jvdz]

So for instance
meldtekst= <font color="red">Dit is een melding</font>
should work?

That should be: meldtekst= '<font color="red">Dit is een melding</font>'

No, not working.
Jos I use this in the afvalwijzer.
I now get the <fontcolor> in the text device

Code: Select all

txt ='<font color="red">txt..web_afvaldate .. " = " .. web_afvaltype .. "\r\n"</font>'

[jvdz]

Yes, that won't work.
Try this version:

Code: Select all

                     txt = txt..'<font color="red">'..web_afvaldate .. " = " .. web_afvaltype .. "</font>'\r\n"

nope, now I get

Code: Select all

<font color="red">vr 18 jan = Plastic, Metaal en Drankkartons</font>' <font color="red">vr 18 jan = GFT</font>'

I've just actually tried it with a text sensor and worked fine for me.

How does it look for you?

ps: I do see there is an single quote too many at the end, so the line should be:

Code: Select all

                     txt = txt..'<font color="red">'..web_afvaldate .. " = " .. web_afvaltype .. "</font>\r\n"

Hoi Jos,

but I also placed the textbox on my floorplan.
here I get

So the alignment is crap and the color is not coming over.

[JuanUil]

no Idea why the textbox on the floorplan is different then in devices

[jvdz]

I don't know either, I am not using àny floor plans, but guess the text isn't treated as regular HTML in the floorplan, unlike the Text sensor text display.
Maybe somebody knows.
