Action: Widget Data
Changes or retrieves the data of a Widget. To find the widget, you have to give it a name first.
- Widget: The identifier of the widget to change
Set Data
Use this option when you want to change the current data of certain property.
- Change: The property that you want to change
- To: The new value to set. Depending on the type of value (string, picture, binary option, ...) the appearance of this option can change. String values support variable substitution.
- Permanent: If this is checked, the changes are written to the internal database. If not, a reload of the remote will restore the original state before the change. In most applications (volume bar, currently playing song title), you will update the widget states when a layout is displayed so that it is not needed to change the database entry.
Get Data
Obtain the current values of any widget state and store it in a variable.
- Property: The property data that you want to obtain.
- Save to variable: The name of the variable. Note that this is only saved locally, that means that you can access the value via "${variable_name}" within the list of actions. The values are always given as strings, binary options evaluate to "True" of "False".
Method
This invokes a method on the selected Widget.
- Method: The method to execute.
