Combination of a Dummy switch + text device

[Holland]

Just wondering if there is already something available where I can show a dynamic text within a switch button.

Quite similar to the mediaplayer button used for Kodi. If a movie is playing the button also shows the title of the movie

thanks

I use a dummy TEXT sensor and with a script change the svalue. The only problem is don´t log the info over time

dec=$data
curl -s "http://192.168.0.8:9550/json.htm?type=c ... value=$dec" > /dev/null

Is this what you looking for?

[Holland]

That is one of things I'm trying to achieve. The text (the above variable dec) should display on a switch icon

See the below media button I use for Kodi.

[pluggin]

Yes, the $dec variable, the contains the value you want to display in the text sensor

But with just a textsensor I can't switch anything.

The above image is a switch, but with the functionality of a text sensor integrated. The circled part is dynamic.

how do you handle white spaces in text ? if i add white spaces text is not displayed. i can work around it by placing dots and underscores, text is not clearly readeble with all those dots and underscores. Also would like to use the \n newline character to ge info clear and readable in ImperiHome buttons

For the white space, insert %20 instead and it will work.

Is this something that is possible in current version of Domoticz?
