[Release] Radio Button Controller Device

[chrisbvt]

This is a simple little driver that creates and controls radio button switches. I use it to select a scene for my scene controllers, so only one switch is on at a time to select and represent the current scene on the dashboard. It can also be used as a radio button controller with visual push feedback on dashboards.

I posted this in the lounge as what I did over the weekend, but I thought it might be better cross posted to this category with a proper title, should anyone be looking for something like this. It can be used with any app, including Rule Machine or Webcore.

Code is linked in the original post:

What I did this Weekend [RELEASE]

It was a cold and rainy weekend in VT, so it was a good time to look at optimizing some of my automations app code. I realized that I implement a form of radio button switch groups for scene or other switches in several of my apps. I decided to decouple this feature from the app's methods and make a radio group switch device that can just be used with the apps or other automations. So I created a Radio Group Switches virtual device driver. It creates and manages the virtual switch group, so …

Added a couple things.

1. Command to turn on one of the switches in the group by label
2. An option to use the parent device as a child device to an app. It will call the parent method radioSwitchActive(label) when the active switch changes, if the useAsAppChild preference is set to true.
