Instead of 1, you can use any value from 0-255.
Thanks Curt, all is working perfectly now. yes I had the syntax wrong I was trying to set initialize a variable using...
InternalMemory.write(199) = LEDMask;
when the correct way was...
InternalMemory.write(199, LEDMask);
Cool thing is I realized I don't even need the variable LEDMask at all, I just use
InternalMemory.write(199, 0);
InternalMemory.write(199, 1);
InternalMemory.write(199, 2);
to set my appropriate value. for each menu item and then read that value on the fly in my
if/else statement.
for anyone interested here is the code I added. My custom menu code including my Dimming Module MASK code.
this gives me a custom menu and allows me to mask on/off/clear my LED's at any time from the controller menu or by manipulating internal memory location 199 from the Android app. NOTE: The AC cords on my Dimmers are NOT PLUGGED into my relay box but directly into constant power. I wanted it this way on purpose. Why waste two valuable relay ports. Now I can turn on/off my lights while on business trips and spy my tank at any hour via my webcam to be sure everything is looking normal as well as force the lights off when watching a movie on the projector in the next room. That actinic spectrum really reflects off my movie screen
