Camect NS: Triggering using STATUS or CONTROL

[tmorse305]

Hi @Jimbo.Automates,  In your instructions for this NS you show an example of triggering on a skunk, see attached.  I cannot duplicate your program for some reason. 

If I use STATUS I get this:

Squirrel Detect - [ID 0154][Parent 0001]

If
        'Camect / Feeder Camera / Feeder Camera animal' Squirrel is True
 
Then
        Resource 'Squirrel Blaster(14)'
        Set 'Notifications / Notification Controller / UD Mobile' Send Message Content 10 Notification ID (ID=10)

 If I use CONTROL the closest I can get is this:

Squirrel Detect - [ID 0154][Parent 0001]

If
        'Camect / Feeder Camera / Feeder Camera animal' is switched Squirrel
 
Then
        Resource 'Squirrel Blaster(14)'
        Set 'Notifications / Notification Controller / UD Mobile' Send Message Content 10 Notification ID (ID=10)
 
This program triggers twice, False>True and True>False

How did you program that?

I believe the alerts are received immediately, what does the short/long polls control?

 

 

Thank you

I will have to review my program when I get home.  But there is a Bug for control that it triggers for both true & false.  I reported it to @Chris Jahn a long time ago and he said it was on the list.  I've tried to find the correspondence but it must have been in old PM's that I cleared out.

Thanks Jim.

I've pinged Chris to open the discussion again to see if there is anything I can do in the plugin to avoid it.

Chris was able to recreate the issue with Control and fixed it.  It will be in the next build.

Thanks @Jimbo.Automates,  will that fix allow me to create a program similar to the one you listed in your examples?

Yes it should. For now you can just use status changes
