Environmental Variables

[mellie]

Hi All

New to C4 and I have the Home edition of Composer.  I am trying to figure out how to use environmental data in programming.  

 

For example, if I would light to create a movie scene, I would like a condition to be:

 

If the temperature outside is <=30 degrees, then turn on fireplace, if not, then do not turn on fireplace.

 

My dealer installed a weather driver, but the only options I see are when the weather changes, not absolute values.

 

Any ideas?

 

THanks

Which Weather driver do you have?  You should be able to pull weather as a variable from the weather driver and do a "if temp le 30 " command.  I have some progamming done in this way - I think I am still using the Wunderground driver, but that only works for people who provide them with weather station info.

I am not sure, when I try to get info on the driver there is an error, but here is the image.  I think it is the a C4 driver.  I see it knows my temp.  How do I use that in a variable?

In programming, there should be device variable in the tree under the driver.  You should find what you need there.
