EventGhost

Hi I have another problem. I have two photoelectric barriers to count visitors. connected, for example, 1 and 2 buttons on the keyboard to do that after the termination of the first and then the second counter will count it as one and the opposite situation as -1. I tried to use jump to another macro enable and distable buttons clear pending events etc. but it did not work. Can you help me one mor time ?

Yes, now I finally understand.
In this case, we do not need a new feature.
Similar things you can do using EventGhost for many years.
This can be solved in different ways.
Here you see one of them (you may need to add the Webserver plugin to your configuration):

Here's a copy of that part of the tree (you can do copy / paste to tree):

Hello

Is there any way to display this counter on a webpage using the webserver plugin instead of the OSD

I found a way to solve my problem but it is a long and complicated...

Hello,
I'm trying to use the persistent variables in the webserver.
And I can set a variable and see it in webserver plugin.
But how do I print/use it?
To be more specific, what's the commando in EG, ex eg.globals.mypersistentvalue does not work.
Cheers!

Still learning.. managed to understand "eg.results" better
so putting a persistent value is just using the action set persistent variable:
Set mypersistentvalue with value {eg.globals.myvariable}

Getting it back I had to use the "get persistent value" action and a little python script to put it back to my normal variable in the startup, OR when called upon by an event or whatever:
eg.plugins.Webserver.GetPersistentValue(u'mypersistentvalue', False)
eg.globals.myvariable = eg.result

Now my eg.globals.myvariable has the same variable as before a reboot of EG
