CH2014 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi, Instead of creating multiple pages I have started to use objects and just a single screen template page. The template page is basically a table containing rows of sensors. I can set up the sensor readings okay using the "Variable Value Component" and referencing e.g. currentObject.LevelSensorReading01 in the expression but I can't figure out a straight forward way of the showing text descriptions for each sensor using strings within an object. Is there any way of using something like currentObject.LevelSensorDesc01 (i.e. a string) within a "Text Component" . I have thought of a long winded way using "Descriptive Text Component" whereby I have to give each sensor a unique number and the threshold of the "Descriptive Text Component" determines the Text to display.???

AzeoTech Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Just use a Variable Value component. It can display numbers or strings. The Text Component is for when you a have fixed text strings that corresponds to a number, like 0 for Off, 1 for On. When you just want to display the contents of a string variable you just use the Variable Value component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH2014 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks. I did actually try the "Variable Value Component" but because I failed to put the word "string" in the class sequence it failed to work and I gave up on the "Variable Value Component" thinking that it was numbers only. Thanks for your quick answer and solution. Its know working great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
