Hello,
I have a problem with location action, I have to pass by the location variable, unfortunately only GPS coordinates are in the field but accepted as a number.
Is there another solution for this problem?
Thanks.
André

Hi,
I don't exactly understand where you want to use a variable. Can you give the exact name of the trigger or action you want to use?
Can you describe in more detail what you want to achieve or post a sample flow that illustrates your goal?
Thanks & Regards,
Martin

Hello,
I would like to initiate with the "Location Triggers" an e-mail if the location is left.
The location is dynamic and should come from a variable.
Unfortunately, in the trigger only coordinates and no variables are accepted.
Fill the variable is not the problem, only using in the "Trigger Location"
Thanks
André

If (currently) not available wouldn't it be possible to change that static value within the flows source code, means flow1 injects your variable content into flow2 before it gets executed?
Code: Select all
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<data version="1.21.0">
<trigger type="location">
<useDefaultName>true</useDefaultName>
<name>Standort: ankommen 48,274030/9,647312 (r: 100)</name>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<locationName></locationName>
<latitude>48.27403005281633</latitude>
<longitude>9.647312755467415</longitude>
<radius>100.0</radius>
<entering>true</entering>
<exiting>false</exiting>
<locationMethod>LOCATION_MANAGER</locationMethod>
</trigger>
<flow type="flow">
<name>flow2</name>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<lastExecutionStartTime>0</lastExecutionStartTime>
<lastExecutionEndTime>0</lastExecutionEndTime>
<triggercontainer id="t1" x="70.0" y="52.5">
<trigger>Standort: ankommen 48,274030/9,647312 (r: 100)</trigger>
</triggercontainer>
</flow>
</data>

Hi,
Supporting variables in the location trigger is something I have on my list of features under consideration.
You could use action
Script and calculate the distance between two locations with
d = distance(loc1, loc2); and then execute some actions when the distance becomes larger than a certain value/radius.
Interesting idea to modify the flow file
. You could try this approach with an exported flow, modify the flow file and then import the flow using action
Import Flows/Widgets.

Martin
