Maarten, please let me know if there is any beta testing I can do ;). Don't have a Synology, but would love to run the software. Release early, release often and such and so on :-)

I will contact you when the first "beta" version is available. Right now it's really user unfriendly, input goes with mysql insert etc [:)]

Ok that would be fine. There is no hurry for what I'm concerned. I will wait with further implementation of PlugWise untill some of the additional modules are released. Pluswise should thank you, because the primitive Linux support you already delivered is a big plus for me ;). That makes me think that Plugwise is one of the better solutions currently availabe in the Netherlands.

I do know a fair share of python, but I don't have the time/will to start my own project. But if you were to release the code, I might be able to actually submit patches for bugs instead of just noticing said bugs.

Good luck and keep us posted :-)

I am currently looking into event design, what should it contain?
Any new fresh idea's are welcome.

<b>What should it contain?</b>

Each event should have a trigger or multiple conditions:

For example:
if device value is (equal to, not equal to, bigger then, smaller then)

Then each event should have an action or multiple:
- Switch on device x
- Power down power consuming device y

I'm busy with events too, it's not easy...

A trigger and a condition are almost the same, except for the fact that triggers are checked frequently.

If a device status changed I call a routine to see if there are events of the type "devicechange event". Same for time based events (for now every minute).

You can only do greater/smaller checks on values with numbers, otherwise it's only = or <>.

I've recently changed my event system and added time as a trigger type. And with this trigger type i can now specify trigger values like "2 0 * * *" (every day at 00:02, works like crontab). This way i have a very flexible scheduler with conditions.

Hi Maarten, in which language do you have programmed your application?
Like the looks of it :)
