Virtual device showing text/value
Would be nice to have a virtual device showing a value (int, bool, string) from an tag or by enter a string text. My use-case is to display which home alarm detector that is acive instead of having one virtual device for each.
Like a sensor, but for text? I can look into it, but it will be in the long term.
Yes. Example IF value=1 THEN show text ON IF value=2 THEN show text OFF IF value=3 THEN show text xxx
It would be much appreciated if the virtual e.g. sensor devices could contain strings. My usecase would be to combine temperature with date and time for the reading in order to understand when the last value where captured. The target is to gather different kind of information in Homey Dash where among other things temperatures are important.
Hi, any update on this? Would like to show the temperature directly inside the visual button
I'm afraid this is not easily possible. We're bound to the possibilities that Athom provides. But if you see an app that does something similar, let me know.
I love this possibility, I use MQTT a lot and have variables set to the current topic, some are simple on/off or true/false but i also have a countdown timer that updates my variable every second, i would love to be able to see that on my virtual device. so the possibility of having a customer sensor for each Boolean, number or string, with an second option to set a concatenation string like W for watts or Mins for minutes.
