Save variable value into a SmartThings virtual device

I have created a virtual temperature in SmartThings. I want to save the value of a SharpTools variable into that device. I found that I can save a fixed value (see screen shot below) in the flow of a rule, but I don’t see how to replace that fixed value with the value from a calculated SharpTools variable.

Welcome to the community and thanks for posting. Not sure if you saw the bottom of my support response, but if that doesn’t address what you are looking for, can you clarify?

If you already have a SharpTools Variable created, you can use the variable as a command argument value as shown in the Use Variables in Rule Engine > Flow section of the following help article:

Variable Introduction and Overview - SharpTools Knowledge Base

finally figured it out. Did not recognize that the Help document included video rather than screen shots. So, I did not see how to switch the input field from manual to variable until I figured that out. Viewing the Help document on my iPad vs my Windows laptop made the difference in recognizing the video was there. Thanks for your help!
