Re: Re: xPL newbie (still!) needs help with xPL_HomeVision (detecting variable chang



Hi Andy
Not sure if you are aware but if you need to create a
Determinator when a Particular event has occurred ie change in variable ,
if
you highlite the reported message in xPL -Mon and right click , then select
create a Determinator , this will automagically create the input condition
for your Determinator , you then only have to  create the Actions section
of
the Determinator...-)

Also theres another option when you right click , Populate a Global and
this
will allow you to save say the value of the variable in to an xPL Global ,
it requests which section of the message to store in the Global ( current=
in this case) and then create the Determinator...;-)

The Determinator i wrote last nite captures a  hv periodic event 
"Vacancy
Counter 2" which decrements a variable once every 5 minutes if no
movement
or ir detected.....

I have it displaying a message saying the variable has changed and also 
the
current value of the variable using the 2 Determinators mentioned
above..........

HTH
Frank
