New to ignition and wanting to use the accelerometer feature to change to a different perspective view upon the phone being shook by the user. Can get values to be displayed using the example given from inductive automation, however im now stuck on trying to get it to change views when any of the readings are above 12/13. Would appreciate any pointers or ideas. ![Screenshot 2023-07-31 090716](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/8/381cefbb2631bb20043478c2af9dfd91d4559aae.png) ---

You are turning those x,y,z values into a string. They need to stay numeric. ---

You could "simplify“ using `x^2` as well instead of `x * x` 🤷 ---

I see a nesting issue. This: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/8/d87c4a37f870ae9fdd9c75ab3b1f8c21a7ac97cf.png) Should be this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/8/f82265acb33b7fa2bfdd5405a1df21d9dd8076ac.png) ...or perhaps just this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/b/2bb4eac54a9e64a73295ff6dd23c37c21a189c0f.png) I don't understand this line of code because it's just a list with a string and compared to an integer : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/3/f39f0389bc904c8ce8157653bd6e2ecde789b290.png) Perhaps it should be this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/0/b0d864a29af3b35b7305d959c1b2013a9016ae56.png)
