Redirect variables

Redirect variables allow UI Objects to be linked dynamically to a source.

Variables can be used in: - any object's id - I/O Server Objects, in server id and address parameters - Button objects, in the address parameter

Syntax

Variables are defined with the following syntax:

[<variable name>]

E.g.

[myaddr]

Setting Values

Server UISets (from events or java) are used to set a redirect variable value. Each variable is a property of the "redirect" object. For example, a variable called "myaddr" can be set to "70" with a UISet command on events:

UISET redirect.myaddr=70

Example: Weather Object

In this example we will use a single TempMini object to display different sources. In hsyco.ini we have an ioServer with 3 zones.

ioServers = bmne500
ioServersType.bmne500 = MYHOME
ioServersOptions.bmne500 = tempzones=1;2;3

In a project we place a TempMini and three User buttons. On the TempMini parameters, we use two variables: mysid and myzone.

Each User button will have "changetemp" as name and 1,2 or 3 respectively as param. In events we declare:

function userCommand(session, userid, name, param) : {
   if (name == "changetemp") {
	uiSet("redirect", "mysid", "bmne500");
	uiSet("redirect", "myzone", param); // address: "temp."+ myzone
   }
}
