I have a powered gate with an IOLinc plugged into the controller, both for triggering open/close and for reading open/closed status. I also have several insteon keypads tied into a scene with the IOLinc so that I can trigger the gate to open/close from them, and see at a glance whether it's open or closed. The nice thing about the system is that even if someone uses the gate's native radio opener to open it, the keypad status light stays correct. Most of the time...
Sometimes I think a signal gets dropped or whatever and one of the keypads doesn't get the memo about the gate changing state, and then the light isn't in sync with the actual state of the gate.
I'm a software dev and in other fields I'd design an "anti-entropy" process to periodically sync up my keypad light states with the state of the gate per the IOLinc. I've never done any programming with my eisy but ideally I'd set up a job to run every 5 or 10 minutes to query the IOLinc state and make sure that the keypad lights are correct. Is that easy to do with eisy? Can someone point me to relevant examples? I program in a bunch of other languages but am not familiar with the programming environment on the eisy so I (hopefully!) mostly just need to figure out what maps to what I already know.
Thanks!
