null values in custom logs

[HansR]

I am working on null values in custom logs and for that I created a Soilmoisture customlog:

Then I disable the SoilMoisture1 sensor
In the ExtraSensors log it correctly becomes null (after restarting CMX):

But the output of the customlog then becomes:

I think the customlog should log the zerostring just as it does in the ExtraSensor log. That would be consistent.
What do you think?

Or should I make the webtag:

Code: Select all

<#SoilMoisture1 nv=''>

<#SoilMoisture1 nv=''>

Nearly, it should be nv="". The nv= accepts a string, so "null" may be valid for say SQL inserts, but not for this CSV usage, you want an empty string.

BUT I just checked, and the token parser does not accept empty strings! Fixed for the next build

OK. Thanks.
