adding constant value to macro in key

[ccaron]

Hi,

Do I have a way to add a constant value to key values in template

I tried modbus.get[{$ENDPOINT},,3,{?{$REGISTER}+14},1,float,,] and a lot of other options but always receive an error

Thanks for your help

You cant perform direct aritmethic operations in this case. Try changing the {$REGISTER} value in preprocessing.

You cannot really do that either...

But if you are using user macros, what you define by yourself... why you cannot define correct value right away?

My m-bus adapter can read up to 500 counters. Each counter use a separate set of 20 registers.

I can create 20 macro with the address of each register but il will be easier to create one macro for the base address and add an offset for each key

I guess you could write a JS item that produces json, required for LLD as output and then you can run a discovery on top of that to create all required items.
Or at least have that file somewhere to be read with vfs.file.content item or something ..
