  • 1.  Unique id for instance of dashboard

    Posted 07-30-2025 07:56

    I have a custom panel file running on multiple Ultritouch HR panels.  There is some customisation of the layout I wish to automate based on which Ultritouch it is running on.  Is there a way to get a unique id, preferably the device name or IP address?

    If this is possible, can it also be applied to dashboard running on a multiple PCs using host name or IP addrress?

    Daniel Bailey directed me to the following post:

    This solution is not as generic as I hoped. I had hoped to simply find the name (hostname of PC) running dashboard. However, it has been useful. 

    The only thing that confused me was extracting the parameter into a string so I could use it elsewhere in the file.
    You have to specify the context first rather than the normal params.getValueAsString('0xFF01', 0):
         UlrtritouchDevName = params.getParam('ultritouch-context', '0xFF01', 0).getValueAsString();
