I thought I saw a sampling some time ago, but am not having any luck to find it now that I need it

I want to convert an Indigo_var_celsius to Indigo_var_fahrenheit

I used to convert in my App but since I moved away from that I want to do it in an action using applescript or python.

A pointer to where I can find a sampling or a sampling is very much appreciated.

I found this python code with a quick search:

Code: Select all

fah = (cel * (9.0/5.0)) + 32

Thanks Jay,

Time to jump into the Python pond

C'mon in - the water's fine.

Actually, that line of code would work in either Python or Applescript; the differences are all in getting "cel" out of a variable string or device state and then trimming/rounding "fah" and getting it back into a string to store and/or display.

Survived my first "swim".
Perhaps not the most stylish, but it works

Code: Select all

celsiusVar = indigo.variables[26618308]
tempVar = celsiusVar.getValue(float, default=75.0) # Alarms as HOT if it can't be converted
indigo.variable.updateValue(836995441,str(tempVar * 9/5 + 32))
indigo.variable.updateValue(894772009,str(tempVar * 9/5 + 32))


Thanks for the "push" Jay.
