Let's Control It

Hi there, I´m unable to find a solution in this Forum nor the web......

According to the commandref "Status,g,<gpio>" gives you the status of the respetive GPIO.
Unfortunately it is a whole bunch of text, e.g.
{
"log": "",
"plugin": 1,
"pin": 12,
"mode": "output",
"state": 0
}
I only need the "1" or "0" to decide further actions....
My DeviceList is full with 12 devices so I cannot configure it there to get a simple 1 or 0.
Is there any formatting possible that I can use it in the rules?

For example like this:

if (status,g,12) = 1
event,do_something
else
event,do_somethingelse
endif


Thanks for your help!

"Status,g,..." I've never seen in EspEasy.

Edit: Ok, I've found it, it's a command. I think, it didn't work in if-clauses.

But
should work.

Thanks! It does
Does it also work this way with MCPGPIO or PCFGPIO pins?

Yes, see the documentation

Hi ath,
unfortunately the link you posted brings me to the documentation page were I also found
"status,g,<gpiopin>" which does not work in an "if" statement as described....
So I assume "Status,MCP,<MCPGPIO>" will also provide more return info than needed in an if statement

Ah, yes, then you will find this page more useful

Oh yes! That's great! Thank's for sharing!

A command does not return a value which you try to use in the if statement.

It isn't a programming language

Stuff wrapped between [] or %% will be replaced by some value before the rules line is being processed.
A command isn't one of these and will simply be executed but doesn't return a value after execution.

Thank's for explaining!
