Using state variable in Tile Label?

Devices & Integrations
#1

Can we use the following state.monthName in the label like so?

valueTile("monthEstCost", "device.monthEstCost", width: 2, height: 1, decoration: "flat") {
		state "default", label: '${state.monthName}\'s\nEstimated Cost\n\$${currentValue}'
	}

Yes, does it not work?

Worst case is you might need to update currentValue with the whole string you want during any parsing event.

Yea it wasn’t working but I will try adding to currentValue.

You have to add text to currentvalue itself. It does not seem to work.

Now a side effect (I believe) is that in Android, if “currentvalue” is a string, and colors are used, the device will fail.

I’m trying to work around this right now, and looking for ideas.
