Problem with an expression condition[SOLVED]

Hi there!
I've a problem trying to check if a variable named "arcomm" (from AutoRemote plugin, this variable is a string) is "true" or "false". I checked that "arcomm" value is a proper string, so i can't see where the problem is.
I've used this in the expression condition:
I've tried with a script and an expression:
Script
Code: Select all
if(arcomm=="true")
{
a=true; //boolean
}
if(arcomm=="false")
{
a=false;
}
And then this expression:
Thank your for the help, ive been like 2 hours trying to fix this, but there isn't enough documentation on the web
EDIT: Solved changing string values to numbers ( 1/0)

Hi,
Following test in a condition "Expression" works as expected:
arcomm="true";//to create the variable for the test
arcomm=="true"
Are you sure that the variable arcomm is available in the flow?
You can add a condition "Debug Dialog" in the flow to show a dialog with all variables and values available when the flow executes the condition.
Regards,
Martin

The variable has the correct value, im uploading a few screencaps of the flow to dropbox. The expression still returns "false" always.
PD: thank you for the plugin support, sometimes its a bit buggy, but i don't want to use Tasker anymore
Edit: Here is a
ZIP with the screen captures, thank you again

Hi,
from your log I see a strange thing... that could be the cause of the error.
If you look at the expression, which should be
arcomm=="true", it appears to be
arcomm=="true " with a space between the
e and the
". Obviously arcomm=="true" is not the same as arcomm=="true ".
See the image below:

I corrected that bug after posting, but the problem is still here. I've more pics about my flow, ill upload if necessary.
Im using a script before doing anything:
then the expression:
*Note that i've changed the wording, i use "on" instead of "true"

The expression to be evaluated, true or false, must be written
a=="on"... not a="on"

Preamble ... I do not have the plugin AutoRemote you use with Automagic.
That said, the problem is not your flow but the communication between the plugin and Automagic.
In fact, if you, in the script, replace a=arcomm with a="on" (the value you expect to have) the flow ends with true. It 's obvious that the variable arcomm that is passed to Automagic hasn't (never?) the value "on"...
Finally, AutoRemote is a plugin for Tasker ... Automagic uses the architecture of Locale plugin. To my (very modest) experience not all plugins of Tasker and Locale are interchangeable, in few words... it may be that AutoRemote is not fully compatible with Automagic. You should hear the opinion of Martin...
