Hi all,
I am extending my firealarm with a memoryfunction: when an alarm is given, PH stores the last state of my Front and rear doorshutter in a GV ....
here is the code I came up with:
Code:
| ph_setglobal_a("K4STATE",[X10STATK4]) |
|
|
when the shutter is down, the state is off, in which I have to change the GV to 3 and here is the code for that:
Code:
case( [X10STATK4] when 1 then ph_setglobal_a("K4STATE",3))
|
|
|
When the shutter is up then the state is on and the GV remains 2
so after an all-safe is given I want to send an X10 command to the shutter and return to it's last state before the firealarm and here is that code too:
Code:
ph_x10btn ("K",4,ph_getglobal_n("{K4STATE}"),0)
|
|
|
but here is the fault: no matter what value is stored in the GV, always a ALL UNITS OFF command is sent...
what am I not seeing here?
Peter

Peter,
You mixed a variable substitution form of a global variable (enclosed within {}) with the ph_getglobal_n function. So, you would either:
ph_x10btn("K",4,{K4STATE},0)
or,
ph_x10btn("K",4,ph_getglobal_n("K4STATE"),0)
Hope this helps,
Dave.
