Remotestick plugin's variables

Post by Ducatirocks » 11 Nov 2016 20:56

Remotestick is a popular third part application for telldus telstick net home automation server. Remotestick app offers few plugins for AM. At least temperarure sensors and socket switches are shown as a plugin for triggers, conditions and actions.

My intention is to build up a system which shows actual ambient temperature when i stop alarm clock at the morning. Broblem is that i can't found applicable variable to use for example "notitifation on screen".

Question is how to handle the temperature information of plugin as the "provided variables" list of plugin is empty?

Add for 1st post...

I know the plugin can handle temperature Sensor information. For exampe plugin trigger (Remotestick sensor) compares sensor temperature to plugin's preset "treshold value" and switch the condition of trigger when "treshold value" is achieved. I suppose the temperature sensors value is saved to some variable. Where i can find this variable?

Any help for this?

Btw, i'am a nb here and apologise if my terminology is incorrect.

Hi,

Plugins are part of the other app so Automagic in general does not do anything except asking the plugin to execute the configured action or testing the configured condition. In case of a condition, the plugin just returns true/false to Automagic. Automagic usually does not receive any variables from the plugin, except when the plugin has added support for this. When this is the case, you should see the list of variables along with a short description of the variables in action Plugin after you have configured the plugin.

Regards,
Martin
