Agent Variables

OVERVIEW

This driver is used to view and make changes to Variables, created in the Control4 Variables agent, from a single UI.

Supported Variable Types

• String
• Number
• Float
• Bool
• Device
• Color

Features

• Only show the variables you want to see in the UI.
• Toggle all of your Boolean values from a single UI. No more experience buttons for each one!
• Optional pin code UI to prevent unauthorised access
• Set variables as read only; users can view but not modify.

Limitations

FAQ

Can I show/hide variables individually?

Yes. From within the Properties tab of Composer:

1. Pick your variable from the 'Agent Variables' drop down, then click 'SET'. Three additional fields will now show.
2. Change the 'Title' property to whatever you want the variable to display as within the UI. This DOES NOT affect your variable names or descriptions set in Composer.
3. From the 'Visible' Property, select 'true' or 'false' to determine if the variables should be seen in the UI. Click 'SET'.

I only want to show most of my boolean variables, can I do this?

Sure. We've just updated the driver to v2 to help support this easier:

1. From the Actions tab, select 'Show Variable Types'.
2. Pick 'Bool' from the drop down, and click 'Ok'. This will show all of your Boolean variables.
3. Now individually select the variables you want to hide from the properties tab (one at a time), and change their 'Visibile' property to 'false' (and click set).
