State variable for state before program

[ahbrown41]

Hello,

I would love it if the ISY-99i could have a way of putting the state of a device or scene into some sort of variable before running a program. That way I could set the light to the previous state before running the program.

 

I can imagine a bunch of scenarios where this might be useful. Think about it

Hello ahbrown41,

 

Actually, we do have this on our list: maintaining previous state and we should start working on it shortly. Currently, the priority is low.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Cool, good news. Thanks Michael.

 

For the super long term, would be cool to be able to break out to javascript of straight java from within the console as well. I imagine your GUI editor translates to some lower level language anyway.

 

Speaking of that, I noticed the touchswitch application on your forum. With this app I can get the web module for $4 instead of $45? Looks like the developer is clearly using some language to develop in. What language does the ISY-99I support? Can I really get the web module for $4 if I buy this application?

 

Thanks again.

Hello Alexander,

 

We have been shying away from Javascript simply because you do not get realtime support without having to poll status.

 

I let Burak provide you with more information on TouchSwitch. As far as I know, it's using Javascript with Apple specific extensions.

 

Yes, you can get the network module for $4.00 if you buy TouchSwitch (limited time offer). Burak can provide you with the coupon code.

 

ISY provides the following interfaces free of charge to which you can program:

Java SDK

Web Services SDK

REST

 

The easiest way to integrate with ISY is to use the REST interface. But, for subscriptions to work (getting real time feedback) you would either need JSDK or WSDK.

 

Please checkout our Developer form for more information:

Nice! Part of the reason I bought the device. I work with Java all the time so perhaps I will give it a go when I think of a good enough application for it. There is some good stuff already but something on my NAS device or desktop might be neat.

 

You have no JVM on the device right? I assume the JSDK is just a wrapper for the webservices?

 

Thanks again

Hello Alexander,

 

Correct: no JVM on ISY and yes, JSDK is just a wrapper for the WSDK but, in addition, it has all the INSTEON related functions and methods such as isKeypadLinc(), etc.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
