Sending the button label to a another tile

(Florin Angelescu) #1

Hi all,

I am trying to create a virtual remote control with several button capabilities that change colors for the hue lights.
I am trying to set one of the tile to display the last button pressed (current selected color) so the value of the attribute should change when a button is pressed.
Unfortunately, I am stuck at sending the button’s label to that variable.
Maybe I didn’t explain correctly, but hopefully the code will be more easy to understand:

metadata {
definition (name: “Philips Hue Theme Selector”, namespace: “Custom Device Handlers”, author: “SmartThings”) {
capability "Actuator"
capability "Button"
capability "Configuration"
capability “Sensor”

    attribute "value","string"
    
    command "blue_theme"
    command "red_theme"
    command "purple_theme"
    command "Unassigned"
    command "Unassigned"
    command "Unassigned"
    command "Unassigned"
    command "Unassigned"
}
