How would I go about showing the status of a global variable in the webcore tiles?
Also, how to display a tile showing the difference between 2 temperature sensors (indoor and outdoor).
And a tile that displays the max and min temp for a particular sensor today.
The key here is to be able to log or SMS yourself the values of the variables you want. Once you’re able to do that, setting those values to a tile would be just a little more added work.
For your first question, here is an example that I use. I can tell Alexa I am warm, cool, or just right, and webCoRE will set my global variable (@@myBodyTemp) accordingly. Then, in another piston, the following code draws a tile based on what is found in that global variable.
You could, of course, replace title, text, or footer to display the global variable directly, but I like the human friendly example shown above.
For your second question, here is an example that I use. It grabs outside temp from WUnderground, and gets inside temp from an average of 3 of my indoor sensors… Then does the math… Then draws the tiles, changing colors etc based on the results.
