Yeah, it looks like scenes will be able to send the 60 second command on a trigger of the on state of the ping sensor but the delay may be a simpler way that just works. I mean the only downside is the 5 second setting will be on for a bit longer. You will have to see it it causes problems, luup restarts for one. Check out scenes though since it opens many doors into Home Remotes capabilities.

OK I’ll take a look at Scenes. I didn’t think I’d end up using Scenes in HR as the Vera is the controller of the system and does all the logic.
But in some situations we might need to use Scenes in Home Remote as well.

Yeah, most of my logic is handled in Reactor, There was no need to replicate it in Home remote at this point, unless Ezlo breaks Reactor which is not out of the question down the line.
Patrick has already said he has given up on the API’s for Reactor on the Ezlo hubs and has stopped work on a Reactor version for Ezlo platform.
That may change in the future if Ezlo do what he wanted them to do ? Unlikely though probably.
He has also mentioned something about a cross platform Reactor Logic Engine in the future.
No idea what systems he is thinking of supporting or how that maybe able to tie in to an Ezlo hub in the future ?
Melih has personally told me and stated on the forums that Ezlo will have their own advanced logic engine, but I doubt very much it would be as good a something like Reactor or even the ancient PLEG for that matter.
I don’t know what direction Ezlo are going in? Builiding on top of the already crappy Vera mobile app and their new MIOS app is just a rehash of it.
They should of ditched the Vera mobile app and built a brand new one from the ground up.
They also should of build the web GUI for the Ezlo hubs first and not even attempted doing any kind of mobile app, until we had a new UI7 replacement aka UI8.
You know the direction they are going in for a front end dashboard app, as you went in to see them about it. A feature parity Imperihome dashboard app, Melih told me days ago in about 4 weeks they will have some news to release to the community about it.
Imperihome feature parity dashboard app would be great for most Vera / Ezlo users.
However I am getting to the stage already with Home Remote that I don’t think any Ezlo dashboard app will be as good as what I am currently building with Home Remote.
Bill has told me he has interest in supporting the new Ezlo hubs and their new APIs for Home Remote integration at some point so that is welcomed news.
When I went to Ezlo’s office they told me that Patrick was working with them on integrating a logic platform. I have no idea if it is true.
And so they should, I told them already to just hire Patrick and licence his Reactor tech.
Maybe things have changed again then? How long ago did you go in to their offices?
It was quite a while ago now Patrick announced on the forum he had given up working on a Reactor version of Ezlo platform.
I was there in mid August.
September 24th here he said he had given up. So I doubt he is still working with them, unless things have changed again in the background.
