Setpoint only adjustable by IDX? Topic is solved

[Plantje]

In the wiki I read the following example:
commandArray['SetSetPoint:MySetPointIdx']='20.5'

Now, this is working just fine, but I was wondering if you NEED to use the IDX or if you can also change the setpoint by using the device name.

I was wondering if you NEED to use the IDX

The SetSetPoint command requires an IDX but you can quite easily work around that with:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

local tName = 'thermostatName' -- Change to name of thermostat

local function getDeviceID(dev)
    return otherdevices_idx[dev]
end

commandArray['SetSetPoint:' .. getDeviceID(tName)] = '22.5'

return commandArray

Thanks! That would indeed be the next step. You even created the code for me. Great!

Worked out just fine!
