Manual numeric input for scheduled values instead of slider only

In the visualization, when we use a blinds/shutters object, we can set the position in a practical way: either by using a slider or by using an UpDownSetter, where the user can enter an exact numeric value.

However, when the same object is used in a schedule — for example, the blinds height percentage — the user can only set the value with a slider. There is no option to enter the exact value manually as a number.

This is very inconvenient in real projects. For an end user, setting values like 25%, 50%, 75% etc. using only a slider is imprecise and irritating. In many cases the client wants to enter a specific value, not “approximately” move a slider to the right position.

It would be very useful if scheduled numeric values had the same input flexibility as visualization widgets. Ideally, there should be a possibility to choose the preferred input method for each scheduled numeric value: slider, manual numeric entry, or both.

Could this be added or improved?

This should apply not only to blinds, but to all numeric objects used in schedules.

Hello Maciej,

a new "keypad setter" option has been added to our next version of bOS, where button in the visualization will automatically open the keypad instead of setpoint/slider.

For the time being if you want more precise setpoint values you can increase the "bar steps" option in the slider. If you set the bar steps to 100 you can set exact value of your dimmer/shade.

Best regards.
