- √ - Internal items?

[Rasmus7700]

Hello.
Is it possible to have some internal variables just to use them in smArtvisu, and also use them in the logics without having them on the KNX bus?

It could be a bit, to set auto/Manuel mode Or something like that...

Can it be defined in the item?

[Bernator]

im prinzip ist jedes item als variabe zu sehen und kann beliebig verwendet werden, wenn beim jeweiligen item keine knx plugin config eingetragen wurde taucht es auch nicht am bus auf.....

Okay, that means I just create a new address under items, and set it as a type bool, num? And doesn't give it any group addresses??? ... Do I have to set any dpt?

The only neccessary attribute is type. As long as you have an item with a type, you can use it in logics. If you add the visu_acl attribute, you can use it in the smartVISU (if the visu plugin is configured).

How do i set a internal object to have a default start value, and then it's possible to adjust them inside SmartVisu?

If i would like to set the Frost protection temp default as 10 degrees?

[Bernator]

look at: Configuration ? SmartHome.py 1.0 documentation

[living_room]
    [[frostprotection]]
        type = num
        value = 10

[Rasmus7700]

Yes, but is it the possible to change from SmartVisu?

Thanks a lot

look at: Visualisation ? SmartHome.py 1.0 documentation

[living_room]
    [[frostprotection]]
        type = num
        value = 10
        visu_acl = rw

I would strongly recommend that you study the docu so you understand the basic configuration!

[Rasmus7700]

Yes i know that - i think already done.
The visu_acl i know...

Was just wondering if the value = 10 only is set once when the sh.py is started?

Normally i live in a PLC world, where things occours differently

[Bernator]

yes its set once during init process at startup of smarthome.py, more is not needed because afterwards all value changes are done by the running smarthome.py task, even if you change it in the visu!

[Rasmus7700]

Okay... Thanks a lot, that makes great sense
