weird script behavior

[James Sentman]

The value displays in such a thing are set by the Vera, but they are just labels. The underlying values are the same I’m just filing in a default on and off label in the unit. If you wish to control what is displayed there or change it have a look at the Advanced Label Syntax page on the wiki here:

http://machomeautomation.com/doku.php/xtension_manual/advancedlabel

So if you wanted to display the numerical value you could put just “<value>” into the on label field of the unit. If you wanted it as on off you’d put just <state> and if you had many possibilities or didn’t like the default l abels provided by the Vera you could use something more complicated like:

<state values=“auto:on:periodic:super:equalize:hurricane:frightening”> or something and for values from 0 to 6 it would pick from that list. Instructions for that are on the above wiki page. 

None of that changes what the actual value of the unit is, on or off, 1 or 0 and so shouldn’t affect the logic of any scripts that use those verbs.
