@3ATIVE 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. A: You can really call individual Segments or Presets, as Presets are made of Segments. What you can do is format the rest_command "Data" that includes everything within a preset. Then send that to WLED. You can get this (JSON Formatted) data by looking inside one of your saved WLED presets.

@am1manTravel Год назад

A bit of a tangled web for this neophyte but you detail it well. What happens if you remove power from the setup? Will it remember the last scrolling message and just continue when power is restored? (Like if you had it on a timer, or an alexa plug, and it would come on for a few hours every day)

@3ATIVE Год назад

Yes it will, as the "segment name" (which is where the text goes) is saved within WLED. However, for WLED to return to that on power-up, you need to set that in config > LED preferences, then scroll down to "Apply preset [xx] at boot".

Should this still work or is it just me doing it wrong? Even changing the name in WLED doesnt scroll

@3ATIVE 4 месяца назад

Yep it's still working. FYI - Text of 5 characters or less won't scroll. - Maybe that's what you're seeing??

yep, that's the vital bit and the REST was my fault, how many time I've checked i'd got it right.. but as just transposing 2 chars made all the difference.. many thanks yet again :)

I can get text but just cannot get a sensor service: rest_command.wled_text data:{ text:"{{states['sensor.office_outside_temp_2'].state}}" }

@3ATIVE 7 месяцев назад

Check that sensor name. Otherwise what do you get on the display when you run that command?

@grampslanc8394 7 месяцев назад

finally service: rest_command.wled_text data: text: Outside Temp {{ states("sensor.office_outside_temp_2") | round(1) }} F

@@grampslanc8394 You can have all that on the LED Matrix, it'll only display a max of 32 characters and only on a single line.

I needed () and not [] around the sensor@@3ATIVE

two sensors 🙂 Thanks for the vid. text: Out:{{ states("sensor.office_outside_temp_2") | round(1) }} F In:{{ states("sensor.big_room_temperature") | round(1) }}@@3ATIVE

Slow the hell down, we can't hardly see what your doing.

HaHaHa... Stating "can't hardly see", which is a double negative, means you CAN see. LMAO

@@homeauto9099 Calm down fella 🤣 - I guess he meant either: -- We can't see what... or -- We can hardly see what... I think it's an "American-isum", they also say: E.G. "Let's see if I can't work this out", meaning they are trying to NOT work something out. LMAO
