I have figured out how to get a box on my control center to update it's color based upon the status of a door connected to my Elk.... however, how do I get it to update the status automatically... is there way to track the device status screen? Thanks.

I believe Dave has that on his 'to do' list. Right now
you can set a trigger to update a Global Variable. The
Global Variable will update the text in a global
variable box automatically. So it could say Open or
Closed, for example, automatically.

I wanted to change color as well but couldn't think of a
way to do it, but thinking about it now while writing
this, I guess the trigger could run a raw formula which
would change the color of the box. In my case I wanted
to change many boxes on many CC screens so I didn't try
the raw formula method. The global formula method
changes them all at the same time with little hassle.
