Comparison of two string variables to activate color

[TMeck9]

Hello everybody,

In ZenOn I would like to read two string variables and, according to the combination of the values, change the color of the stat text of the first variable in a screen. Is this possible?

I.e. Var1 - Var2 ---> Color of Var1
'Car' - 'open' ----> red
'Car' - 'closed' ----> green
'House' - 'open' ---> orange
'House' - 'closed' ---> blue

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Hi  TMeck9,

It's possible, but it's not straight forward.

- Create an internal boolean variable with the appropriate limit colors (red/green, orange/blue) for value 0 and value 1
- Create a string reaction matrix, create two conditions. On the condition (string value) "open", set the value of the boolean variable to "0", on the condition "closed" set the boolean variable to "1"
- Link the string reaction matrix at the var 2 string variable

You can now use the boolean variable at the element in your screen to change the color of the text dynamically



Best regards,
Mark
