Heartbeat feature

[sjenkins]

Just putting out there a feature which you may not be aware of which was added recently.  

The heartbeat feature is part of the UD Template so I won't take credit for it, but many don't seem to be aware of it.

Below is an example of the program you would want to have to take advantage of it or something similar.

I use this in all my plugins, as well of course devices which offer heartbeat signalling.

 

Heartbeat MQTT - [ID 00CB][Parent 0028]

If
        'MQTT' is switched On
    And 'MQTT' is not switched Off
 
Then
        Wait  1 hour 
        Repeat Every  24 hours 
           Resource 'Heartbeat MQTT'
 
Else
        Wait  1 hour 
        Repeat Every  24 hours 
           Resource 'Heartbeat MQTT'
