im trying to create a app/driver to check for on switches and the display it in a tile
app
void handler(evt) {
String whichOn = ""
switches?.each{
if(it.currentSwitch == "on") {
whichOn += "$it, "
}
}
log.debug whichOn
dataDev.parse(whichOn)
whichOn = null
}
Driver
metadata {
definition (name: "Whats On Tile", namespace: "Mark-C-UK", author: "Mark C") {
capability "Actuator"
attribute "SwitchData", "String"
command "parse"
}
preferences() {
input "logEnable", "bool", title: "Enable logging", required: true, defaultValue: true
}
}
void parse(data){
sendEvent(name: "SwitchData", value: data, displayed: true)
}
Ive tried passing it as a list as well as string
A bit of a hack, but I think you could format it as an html list to get it to render the way you want, e.g.:
void handler(evt) {
String whichOn = "<ul>"
switches?.each{
if(it.currentSwitch == "on") {
whichOn += "<li>${it}</li>"
}
}
whichOn += "</ul>"
log.debug whichOn
dataDev.parse(whichOn)
whichOn = null
}
Or use a paragraph <p>, with line break <br> at the end of each one

You could check out something like the Hub Info driver. I expect @thebearmay is using html table cells. I'm pretty sure I've seen them used in other drivers like Tile Master.

that seemed to get it
void handler(evt) {
String whichOn = "<ul>"
//List whichOn = []
switches?.each{
if(it.currentSwitch == "on") {
whichOn += "<p>${it}<br>"
//whichOn << it
}
}
whichOn += "</ul>"
log.debug whichOn
dataDev.parse(whichOn)
whichOn = null

Several options. For a single colum, If you want to use the \n enclose the text in a <pre></pre> tag (probably the smallest amount of characters used) , the <p></p> and <ul></ul> default to adding the newline normally but you need to enclose each item in the list.
Preformatted Line 1
paragraph 1

thanks \n works now.
error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Command 'sorted' is not supported by device 258. on line 49 (method handler)
So it wants to be difficult, eh? Well maybe try something like:
List switchList = (List) switches
switchList.sorted().each {
compVal = it
switches?.each{
if(compVal == it.name && it.currentSwitch == "on") {
whichOn += "<p>${it}<br>"
//whichOn << it
}
…
this bit is going wrong, No such property: currentSwitch for class: java.lang.String on line
Should it be a
switches.displyname.SortedSet().each{
if(it.currentSwitch == "on") {
whichOn += "<p>
Or use .toSorted()
Very confusing all these sorting methods
OK got this to kinda work
Map switchesMap = [:]
switches?.each{
switchesMap << ["${it.device.displayName}":"${it.currentSwitch}"]
}
switchesMap.sort().each{
if (it.value == "on"){
whichOn += "${it}\n"
}
}

This looks interesting.

I like it.
