New update display dim level instead of on/off? #111

Closed JohnnyJohnnySE closed 3 years ago

I noticed after upgrading to the latest version my scripts would break, and it seems like it reports the dim level rather than status ON. Which breaks scripts that relies on if device == 'On' for example. Is this intended behavior? A workaround is to use if device ~= 'Off' , or is there a setting I have accidently clicked or changed?

This is intended behavior, in order to correctly display the dim level in the interface. If you're only interested in on/off in scripts (dzVents, python) you should take a look at the nValue, which is 0 when off, 1 or 2 when on (1 for on/off switches and 2 for dimmable switched).

Ok thanks for clarifying, i'll implement a workaround in my scripts.
