MultiSwitch

[AgileHumor]

Hello,

Could you consider adding support for the MultiSwitch plugin (as 8 separate switches in one)

Actions

When you select one of the MultiSwitch buttons as a scene or PLEG action, the default action will be a toggle of the switch state - on to off, off to on. If you open the scene or PLEG action Advanced tab, you will see that the newStatusN value is -1 which means toggle. To set the switch off, use a value of 0. To set the switch on, use a value of 1.

The following actions are provided for use by scenes and other plugins:

Code: [Select]

urn:dcineco-com:serviceId:MSwitch1 SetStatus1 newStatus1 = <0, 1 or -1>

..

urn:dcineco-com:serviceId:MSwitch1 SetStatus8 newStatus8 = <0, 1 or -1>

Most other apps that support MultiSwich show it as 8 individual On/Off switches in their interface.

Thanks so much if you could make this happen!  I'd gladly ship you a new Vera Edge (with UI7) for your trouble.

Sure, I'm happy to take a look.

Here's something to get you started.  I haven't decided yet if this should go into the actual plugin, mostly because I'm not sure what the best way to do that is yet.

Here is the group XML that I use in the video

Code: [Select]

Thanks man!  Your quick on the code sir.

[paulcusick3]

Thank you for this.  The code works well for VC voice triggers.  However, I do not seen the Vera triggers coming through the log to have them trigger VC actions.

My use case is to use PLEG for logic; the action turns on a MultiSwith, and then have VC trigger an action.  I can do this via a scene or a tradition switch.... but not multi-switch.

Any advice?

[jitterjames]

The next version of VoxCommando will have a new version of the Vera plugin with a revised event engine that will support multi-switch.

In the meantime you can have PLEG send events to VC using luup if you want.
