Leaving a console open

[intellihome]

Is it OK to leave a connection to the ISY open indefinitely? I was just curious, because many times I return to my computer and realize I left the ISY connection open (sometimes for several days).

Is this of any concern? Does it slow things down or cause any issues whatsoever?

Thanks,

Kevin

I've been doing that a lot lately and haven't noticed any issues.

There should not be any issues with having the console open indefinitely. The ISY is designed to have clients that maintain a constant connection to it. Home automation software plug-ins need this capability so that they can keep device state synchronized between the automation system and the ISY.

 

If you do see any adverse effects that seem to be caused by having the console open for extended periods of time, let us know because it would be considered a bug.
