Global Variable In App

Trying to use a Global Variable in an App. Can't seem to figure out where I'm going wrong. From what I can read, this code should work, but it errors out.

fanRunTime is a global variable of type number.

    def fanOnTime = getGlobalVar("fanRunTime")
    log.debug "${fanOntime}"
    runIn(fanOnTime * 60 *60, fanOff)

getGlobalVar() returns a GlobalVariable object, not the value itself. This object has a getValue() method, or, equivalently in Groovy, a value property, which should return the value you're looking for--and be of the appropriate type. So, use fanOnTime.value or something along those lines.

If that doesn't help, logs of the actual error you get would be helpful.

The getValue worked, once I got the syntax right. I don't do this often enuf to remember that stuff. Thanks.
