Hand over parameters and show them for few seconds

Daimlerfahrer · Post by **Daimlerfahrer** » February 3rd, 2008, 1:21 pm

If there is already a solution for my problem, I've to say sorry, but I didn't get one using the search...

So I ask for some help!

I'm using a call-monitor that hands over serveral parameters by a incoming phone call (like caller-number, called-number. . .)

I'd like to show these information on my LCD, and I did already tried to configure "Actions", but doesn't work for me.

Could someone tell me how to hand over these parameters to LCDsmartie and flash them for a few seconds and afterwards jump back to the theme used befor?

Thanks a lot
Regards from Germany

The solution is definitely the actions (you have to use the gotoTheme action and assing a screen to anew theme e.g theme 2)

But there are some things to ask.
How do you read the called id to LCD Smartie? Are you using a custom plugin or the file read method?

I'm not using a plugin yet, but it wouldn't be a problem to store the incoming information to a (*.txt) file.
Which plugin is able to check if there is created a new file and shows the information stored inside?

There are two build in functions for file reading
$LogFile(C:\file.log,0)
and
$File(C:\file.txt,1)
both under the Misc. tab
