Mycontroller 2.x ideas
-
@jkandasa On the node side we can already recover the status in the node programming by using saveState and loadState, so maybe that is all that is needed that end.
For the controller I guess that myc only needs to record the last message sent to all sensors and time stamp it. Then when the controller powers back up it can check if any rules/scripts/timer functions apply and if not simply re-send the last known message. If rules/scripts/timer functions do apply then it will have to work throught to the current state by using the most recent event that 'should' have happened (but didn't as the controller'/GW was down).

@skywatch you are right. no action needed from the node side. The controller should handle poweroff situations.

About folder, i means it would be nice to arrange rules by folder.
-windows_cover:
-->rule1
-->rule2
-->etc...
-temperature controle:
-->rule1
-->rule2
-others:
-->rule1
-->etc...Same kind of architecture for timer and operation.
It would permit to build a lot more rules without being afraid by the amount of line. -
@jkandasa Here is another suggestion to think of for version 2.0.......
It would be nice to have a feature that could be enabled or disabled with a click that will perform the following......
Random Action - I am thinking of lights here for security purposes and making a building look more occupied than ordinary timers will allow. So a feature that allows random on times and random off times, within a specified portion (or portions) of the day/week/etc.
Example
Kitchen lights should be randomly turned on for minimum 2 minutes and maximum 5 minutes from 6am to 7.30am AND between 5pm -10pm.
Bedroom lights should be turned on randomly for minimum 10 minutes and mazimum 20 minutes betwee 5.30am and 6.30am AND between 8pm and 11pm.
And so on for different zones of lights.Once the vatiable are set then it should simply be a matter of enabling all when going away and perhaps you can even add a nice auto-disable for when you are away for a known number of days..... ?
This could also apply to turning on/off radio etc to enhance the effect.
