Create Variable
To create a new variable in the nomos system Controller, fill in the following fields:
ID: Unique identifier used to reference the variable in automations and texts. You can assign your own ID (uppercase letters, digits,
-and_) or leave the field empty – the ID is then generated automatically when you save. An ID that has already been saved can no longer be changed.Name: A descriptive display name for the variable.
Category: Optional grouping to organize variables by topic (e.g. "Prices").
Editable: Determines whether the variable's value may be changed by users (e.g. in the nomos app).
Data type: Determines what kind of value the variable holds. The value input adapts automatically to the selected type:
Text (String): Any text.
Whole number (Integer): A number without decimals.
Decimal (Float): A number with decimals.
Currency: A monetary amount – the currency symbol defined in the system settings (e.g. €) is shown next to the value.
On/Off (Boolean): A truth value – on or off.
Date: A calendar date.
Time: A time of day.
Value: The current value of the variable. The input field depends on the selected data type.
Click Add to create the variable. For an existing variable, save changes with Save or remove it with Delete. To cancel the process, click Cancel.
