Patch: Add attribute setListValidate for 98_dummy

[Nestor]

If this attribute is set, only accept the command argument if it matches any word in the setList attribute. This avoids any typos or nonsensical values (when used via Telnet).

Example:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

define Presence dummy
attr Presence setList Home Leave Return
attr Presence setListValidate 1
attr Presence webCmd state
attr Presence widgetOverride state:select,Home,Leave,Return


Code Auswählen Erweitern

set Presence foo
Invalid argument foo, choose one of Home Leave Return

I used Google Translate for the German help reference.
Apologies for any mistakes.

Very interesting and could be very helpful.
Thanks

Could you please move this thread (when you are on the first post, you have a button "THEMA VERSCHIEBEN" for that) to the "Automatisierung" subforum? This is where the module "dummy" is maintained.

Thx in advance

As far as I see, the patch prevents checking set with arguments (set dummy dim 10), the widget specifier in setList (attr dummy setList dim:slider,1,1,10) is not yet handled either.

You can get the the desired effect with "attr dummy useSetExtensions", which handles all the above issues.
But I have to admit, that it is not the most obvious solution

[Nestor]

It only works for the basic use case when you want to set the state (as described in the example above).
Does the attribute useSetExtensions also not add all the SetExtensions commands (toggle, blink,...) by default?

Only if setList contains on and off.
