Question Display device value in the string?

Is there a simple way to display device's value in the string without event and short script that would have to run every time the device changes?

It would require a script or plugin.

I have a lot of devices I need the same thing for.

I use an event and a short scripy command, so there is no script file to worry about.

for example on the event action script statement line.
&hs.setdevicestring "^21",(hs.devicevalue("^21"))

I either set the event to run whrn the device value changes, or for other devices every several seconds.

Yeah, I got that one too. I was just wondering if there is a more simple way. I hate to run events every few seconds..

Why, that's what HomeSeer was designed to do...

Is this just for diagnostic purposes? How about an ASPX page that listed all your devices and the device values?

Wow! Scary how you can read one's mind Rich! You are absolutely right. It is for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes for HST.
The ASPX page would be great! Can you do something like that for us?

tenDisplayHsDevices is an app by tenHolde that will show activity from any device and displays everything you wanted to know about it. I use it for this kind of debugging and it's great.

Let me know if that app works out for you, if not, I can create an ASPX page that will display the information.

I'd still rather have an ASPX page within the HS that I can just pull up instead runing separate app. Please! I'm sure it will be useful for more people.
