[Solved] How to display variable.

tomansi

Is there any way to define a variable that can be displayed in the frontend?

We can display the variable $mode (displayed in the Room2 in config.json demo).

If I define a new variable: $mode2 I can’t display it.

What should I do?

You should add a device that shows the variable:

{
      "id": "mode",
      "name": "Mode",
      "class": "VariablesDevice",
      "variables": [
        {
          "name": "modeVar",
          "expression": "$mode",
          "type": "string"
        }
      ]
    },

I understand. Actually the device that shows the variable must be added to the file config.json.

I try using GUI but is not possible (“Sorry that operation is not supported yet”).

I suppose that in the future it will be possible from pimatic-fronted.

Thanks.
