[APP] Better logic / Variable management

UrandayUranday Member
edited September 2017 in Apps
Currently I'm writing a new app for variable management and better logic. 





For now the goals are:
- Variable management. 
      Create, read and update variables. Those variables then can be used in your flows. Changing a variable in this screen will also trigger the flows attached.
- Logic control
    - String manipulation, contains (not), Matches (not), 
    - Number manipulatoin, assing, is (not) equal, is (not) greater than, is (not) less then, increment and decrement (maybe later */+-)
    - Bool checking, Assign bool, Flip bool

The variables can be selected in the cards via autocomplete. 

Future goals are API support, device support. (a button to set a variable, so you can start flows from your app) and if possible a realtime updating screen with the variable values (so you do not have to press F5

If anyone has feature requests, please let me know in this post.

    Nice work Patrick, flipping booleans would be most welcome and could reduce my number of flows by about 50% ... :wink:

    Good work Patrick! Looks promising and a great extension to Homey  o:)

    Super!
    This makes me a little bit jealous on every one that can making an app.

    May be you can better change bool in to boolean.

    Very nice and useful. Thanks for making this.

    First of all: Great job!

    This makes me wonder how Athom will deal with apps that have functionality that is or will be in the Homey already. I know Apple will reject apps that offer similar functionality for example. I wouldn't be surprised if Athom would provide this functionality by default in the future (Actually I would have expected it already).

    When it is the same or better I don't mind. If they want to take all my code and merge it in their core, I would be pleased. I make this app because I really want this functionality.

    This is just a great example of "a community comes to live". Sounds like a very useful add-on!

    Best attitude we can have :smile: 
  • UrandayUranday Member
    An minor update. I have a working settings and autocomplete flow cards. Now it is time to implement the logic.


  • RobinVanKekemRobinVanKekem Member
    The fact your able to create such app shows how powerful Homey already is. Great work!
  • UrandayUranday Member
    I made a minor video about the variable handling. Njoy!



  • PhuturistPhuturist Member
    Great work Patrick, did Athom already contact you to have this integrated into the source code ... :+1: 
  • UrandayUranday Member
    I first need to finish it, then submit it as app and then i will let them decide to either let my app exist or get the features into the core app.... 
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    @Uranday ;
    Arr you gone post it on github.com?

  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    @MarcoF thanx
  • UrandayUranday Member
    I Already indeed did. Though it is very experimental, a large amount of features are missing and I cant give any responsibility on problems with infinite loops ;)
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    @Uranday  Also cant add new variables
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Where are you trying to add new variables? In the settings or in the card?
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    In the settings if i click add noting happens
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    sorry it works now
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Just a question, did you press any time delete all between not working and working? Because that could be a bug.
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    @Uranday  I must firt pres delte all before i can add variables and if i add a couple en go to an 
    another tab like apps en go back to better logic all variables i added disappear 
  • UrandayUranday Member
    The first could be a bug. The second is not there in my system. I just added an other commit, can you see if you are on the latest?
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    just downloaded from git hub 15 min ago so i think so
  • UrandayUranday Member
    Think the first time use bug is solved.
  • TarikFaikTarikFaik Member
    Yep its working now

    I'd love to see variable management as part of Homey's core OS. Variables are now invisible in some black box. At least you made them visable and manageble through your app. Great work @Uranday.
