Hi, I am trying to set a timer with a slidebar to choose the value. I created, under the “better logic library” configuration, a variable of type “number” named “timer Maëlys”. I then added a new device, clicked on “better logic library”, chose “NumSlide” and defined min to 0, max to 30 and step to1. I can now use a slidebar to define the variable which is great. However, when moving the slide it displays a percentage (from 0% to 100%) instead of displaying the value, which is not convenient. Furthermore, when I release my finger, it displays 1500% and an error message: ![Screenshot_20231109-221104](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/b/4b3e5e6cb42341573a8d2e631100bf9f48cc5dd7.jpeg) At the end, the value is correctly set, to 15 for example if I choose 50%. However it is not very convenient… Am I doing something wrong ? ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk Quick (noob) question. I’ve got the following BLL in my flow: ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-11-10 om 09.33.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/b/cb0e4828fe47442cec87cea1cff3b045357028ec.png) And the result is here: 23.397,244 But Google Sheets does not like the dot when creating reports. What format should I pick to get the desired output: 23397,244 Thanks lots! ---

Hi I modify a BLL Variable with math.format to have in all case 2 digits after the comma (even it is a zero at the last position) e.g. 24.5 modified to 24.50 or is more than 3 digits long 24.125. to 24.12 In the BLL App the Variable is shown like it should (e.g. 24.50), but If I use that variable in a flow the zero is not available I need 2 digits for the http-post request, in all case it must be 2 digits after the comma. Otherwise my heating control will not akcept the request (Don’t ask me why ) So what can I do ? Bug ? I don´t know zero as the last number after the comma as no effect but I need it. Attached my flow, perhaps somebody has a solution. The real room temperature has to be a multiple of 0.125 but must be in all case 2 digits after the comma. So only a problem with 0.5. and no comma numbers there I need the an additional digits ![Bildschirmfoto 2023-11-15 um 01.04.26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/5/d55867edff77dd16dc034ff45873687d614a5a4f.png) ![IMG_1276](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/3/f37ab76ac50af5e7cbf4fc6eeed578c9ed154355.jpeg) Editing the Value in the app, the zero will be not accepted, just possible through the math.format expression in the flow. Thanks for your help ---

I hope I got you right, so this crossed my mind: I think the key is to save it in a string variable, while numbers in a stringvar cannot be changed without overwriting it, and you can use a string variable in the HTTP - POST request card. And instead of the calculation, you could use the “Format number as style” card, with these settings: style: “Decimal”, style option 1: “Compact Long”, decimals: 2, locale: English (to keep the decimal point in your temperature value) ![Screenshot from 2023-11-15 02-30-57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/b/8b5d4a4fac1f7c235238ed8243f78152de6b9919.png) ![Screenshot from 2023-11-15 02-32-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/8/a8cae616f55fcab7068ed45882be1d21c18dc4e2.png) ---

Thanks I will try Just another short question 😉 If I have just a Url e.g [http://external](http://external) system/id/“#Variable” as external entry point how I can realize this with Advanced flows or must I use Homeyscript ? I just found the http request (post, get,) card. I just want sent a “simple” generated URL Can you provide a simple Homescript example if it is not possible with advanced flows? A lot thanks for your support ---

Do you mean the same as in this topic? > [@Http post with variable](https://community.homey.app/t/http-post-with-variable/94609/3): > > I don’t know, but it works fine here. I use a BLL string variable by the way. (Homey Logic has/had a bug where it adds a trailing whitespace to the values) The tag is just a string as you can see, and the value of the BLL variable is 25.10: [Screenshot from 2023-11-15 03-24-35] Reply from the webhook listener flow: ---

I tried several times since my message but I could not reproduce the issue. I guess I created the timer on my laptop and was using it on my smartphone without a proper refresh of the app. PEBKAC… Sorry However, it still prints a percentage. Would it be possible to make it print the actual value instead ? ---

Sure, I want to configure a slidebar to choose the value of a timer. I created, under the “better logic library” configuration, a variable of type “number” named “timer Maëlys”. I then added a new device, clicked on “better logic library”, chose “NumSlide” and defined min to 0, max to 30 and step to1. The goal is to easily set up a timer from 1 to 30 minutes. I can use this slidebar to define the variable which is great. However, when moving the slide with my finger, it displays a percentage (from 0% to 100%) instead of displaying the value, which is not convenient. I know that 33% will mean 10 minutes, but it is not very comfortable 🙂 ---

> [@Greuh](#): > > I know that 33% will mean 10 minutes, but it is not very comfortable 🙂 Well, to be honest, i would actually advice you to create an Advanced Virtual Device from the Device Capabilities app. You can customize the field way more. And only one extra flowpart needed: when the avd.numberfield has changed, set bll variable. For the rest you can use Reflect for bll variables to update the AVD field. Like create a Numberield with slider and just configure the step, min, max, title etc. yourself. ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk I think this is a bug or inconsistency in the flow card “Execute as tag”. As per the example in the OP, I entered the below in the card and it gave an error. When I enter the same in another flow card “Set variable to text”, it works. It seems that the flow card Execute as tag does not accept non-BLL expressions followed by a BLL expression. The last one is: {[\_.last([“1”, “2”]) ]}. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/5/f57594d3b461340fe79cc78ea0b60777149441a7.png) ---

> [@Rrrr](#): > > It seems that the flow card Execute as tag does not accept non-BLL expressions followed by a BLL expression. Well, it’s a direct Expression card. BLL coding is an BLL expression within brackets to be used within text-arguments. The Expression cards are for the direct expression, giving it the possibility to return any type of tag, like text, boolean or number. I could perhaps check if the there is coding within a used expression card, and if so, eun it as text with BLL codings inside. But then you would not be able to retrieve a text-tag with coding inside anymore. ---

The text-tag is the reason I am interested in the Execute as tag card because the flow can continue with the real-time result in the tag. Much better than having to store it in a variable.
