Manual Input on specific date

Hello,

I would like to manually input “0” value on the specific date (e.g. a week ago) on a variable. Is there anyway to do this?

Good day @dongyoun,

I hope this note finds you well,

You can manually send data to a variable at a specific time using the timestamp key, as follows.

{“variable”: {“value”: 27, “timestamp”: 1514808000000}

Unfortunately, the manual input can’t send the data on a specific date yet, but we are working on improving the widget to have a field in which you can add the timestamp of the dot. At the moment you can send either create an HTML Canvas widget similar to the manual input but asking the date or sending the value via API in any of our supported protocols.

All the best,

Hi @isalogi

Is there any ability in the device variables page to manually change a variables value.

I.e Device A has Variable 1. On 01/01/22 Variable A has a value of 2. Can this be edited to another value, say 3?

thanks

Rowan

Hi @windorah,

To change a variable value from 2 to 3 for example, you need to make an HTTP request to the variable on that specific date, using the timestamp key. Please refer to the following documentation to learn how.

Soon we will improve the Manual input widget, to select a date on which the dot should be stored. I will let you know as soon as I have an update.

All the best,
