Make program activity a testable condition in If statements


Recommended Posts

Posted

Currently I can only add If statements testing whether a program state is "True" or "False." Thinking about the popular two-tiered programming model (trigger->conditions), it would be helpful to be able to test whether a program was running or not, i.e., Activity is "Running" or "Idle". That way, in the trigger program, say a motion sensor being switch on, if the conditions program was already running with a wait, you could test for it and not call the conditions program a second time (thus cancelling the current wait).

You might be able to set a variable to seconds since start of day everytime the program runs.. You could then use the time diferences to determine a run status from that.

The ability to use variables as program conditions (if statements) is very limited. Basically you can compare them to integer values and other variables.

Big fan of your work and honestly I'm hesitant to even offer...

Especially when I forgot what forum I was in....
