INT/ Float / Number of Decimals for variables to display on 7 segment etc.??

[Oetsch]

Hi

for a freezer I now started to implement the application and I´m using the level control of espeasy. To make it work for a freezer, I converted the negative temperature by formula to positive. But I also use a smal TM1637 7 segment display to visualize the temp locally at the freezer. Therefor I used a rule.

Code: Select all

On TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature do
  Let 1,[TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature]
   Let 2,-1*[var#1]       // convert pos to negative
  7dn,[var#2]
  Publish %sysname%/TempGefrierschrank1/Temperature2,[var#2]
EndOn

Question I have is how to define the decimals which are shown by the display and where are this numbers defined?

[TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature] is float and has 2 descimals defined from the temperature device configuration.
[var#1] is also float %v1% would be INT, right?
So [var#2] is also float but no decimals are shown by the display.

Log says:

Code: Select all

Copied: "659893: DS   : Temperature: -17.06 (28-ff-44-db-64-15-2-bf)
659905: EVENT: TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature=17.06
659934: ACT  : Let 1,17.06
659938: ACT  : Let 2,-1*17.06
659941: ACT  : 7dn,-17.06
659944: 7DGT : Show Number=-17
659953: ACT  : Publish ESP_Gefrierschrank/TempGefrierschrank1/Temperature2,-17.06

Display is showing: -17
Is it possible to show 1 decimal?

Thx

You could try to format the values like described here:
https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... red-values

Code: Select all

7dn,"-[TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature#D2.1]"

Hi
thx and tried format/conversion:

Code: Select all

7dn,"-[TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature#D2.1]"

Code: Select all

850320: EVENT: TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature=17.25
850351: ACT : 7dn,'-17.2'
850353: 7DGT : Show Number=-17

Because I was no sure about the "-" setting tried also:

Code: Select all

7dn,[TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature#D2.1]

[code]41038: EVENT: TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature=16.94
41070: ACT : 7dn,16.9
41073: 7DGT : Show Number=16

So no decimal is shown by the display. What I recognized just from results above that the result is just cutted from 16.94 or 16.9 to 16 and not rounded to 17.

Sorry maybe important to know. I´m using a 4 digit TM1637 clock display without dots (ordered wrong and waiting for version with dots).
Is it anyway possible to show decimals (just 3 numbers) without a dot?

Thx

Without the decimal point, you can multiply it with 10 (or 100) to get more digits, or not?

Hmm just looked at the code of the plugin (very quick look) and there are quite a lot of commands for this plugin.
Maybe you can test them?
Most likely (judging the description) this could work: 7dtext

Others are:
7dn (meant for "number", maybe just int?)
7dt (meant for temperature)
7dst (meant for time)
7dsd (meant for date)

Thx, so this is done by the plugin.
Testing at the moment.
It is 4 digit Clock display

7dtext:

Code: Select all

4606361: EVENT: TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature=17.19
4606369: ACT : 7dtext,17.19
4606371: 7DGT : Show Text=17.19

Digit 1: 1
Digit 2: 7
Clockpoints: off
Digit 3: off
Digit 4: 1

7dt:

Code: Select all

4850629: DS : Temperature: -17.44 (28-ff-44-db-64-15-2-bf)
4850631: EVENT: TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature=17.44
4850661: ACT : 7dt,17.44
4850664: 7DGT : Show Temperature=17.44

Digit 1: 1
Digit 2: 7
Clockpoints: on
Digit 3: 4
Digit 4: Degree symbol

So just testet without - convertion which means a need of a additional digit or have to see how to arrange. Nevertheless I have to wait for the delivery of the right display to make the display understandable for everybody but big thanks and now i know to format as I like.

Edit:

For this clock display I will temporarly go on with:

Code: Select all

On TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature do
  7dn,"-[TempGefrierschrank1#Temperature#D2]"
EndOn

Not having a decimal but the rounding is done right and the "-" is shown. So best compromise for me for now. Thx!
