Thanks for the post and the suggestions!
- An unrestricted input parameter for the built in SetVolume command - at the moment it will only take numerical input, so you can use Tasker Variables for this.
This can be accomplished in two different ways depending on the need.
Override Parameters
If you just to override the parameters that are being sent to a device, you can override the type and number of parameters:
- Create a new Tasker Action → Plugin → SharpTools → ‘A Thing’
- Open the overflow menu
... - Check the box for ‘Override Parameters’
You should now be presented with the option to change the data type by tapping the icon to the left of a parameter and you can add/delete parameters as desired.
Tasker Variables
Most SharpTools Tasker plugins support Tasker variables when changed to Tasker Variable mode. To do this:
- Create a new Tasker Action → Plugin → SharpTools → ‘A Thing’
- Tap the tag icon in the action bar to enter Tasker Variable mode
- Use your Tasker variables as desired by using the proper format (eg.
%myvariable)
- A built in change input source command (i.e. so you can change to HDMI1/2/etc., TV Tuner, etc.)
The commands that are available for devices are determined by the device handler. SharpTools simply downloads the list of all available commands and exposes them via the Tasker plugins and Widgets. If a device doesn’t expose a particular command you are looking for, you’ll need to submit a request to the community developer (or to SmartThings).
If you want to share a copy of the device details, I’d be happy to take a look. It would be the same steps I mentioned in your other thread.
