Get Dropdown of Thermostats

[Engineerisaac]

Hey guys,

Im getting a much better understanding of the Control4 Driver Universe. I can write some nice drivers now. However I am having some mental blocks when reaching across the table to find elements like thermostats or lights in a project.

Is there a good way or code example to bring a listed drop down of electable thermostats? I am attempting to read the temperature value of the thermostats in a project and bring them into my driver. I have not worked deep into the functions of this yet and was wondering if anybody had a good pointer for it?

Hmm there are many more qualified to give you details than me, but you should be able to search by proxy id

You can create a property in your driver that allows the installer (or homeowner with HE) to select a set of devices by proxy (or device) type:

      <property>
        <name>Temperature Sensors</name>
        <type>DEVICE_SELECTOR</type>
        <items>
          <item>thermostat.c4i</item>
          <item>control4_thermostat_proxy.c4i</item>
          <item>cardaccess_wirelessrelay.c4i</item>
          <item>cardaccess_wirelesscontact.c4i</item>
        </items>
        <multiselect>true</multiselect>
      </property>
