Hi,

 

Is this a bad practice to play with the program enable/disable?

 

Sometime, I would like the status event to be ignored. Instead of using variable, I was wondering if I can simply disable/re-enable programs like in the example below. Or if I should avoid it for some reason.

 

Example:

PROGRAM-1
If
       Control 'RC / Cuisine' is switched Fast On

Then
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Disable Program 'PROGRAM-2'
       Set 'RC / Cuisine' Off
       Enable Program 'PROGRAM-2'


PROGRAM-2
If
       Status  'RC / Cuisine' is Off

Then
       ...
       ...

 

Actually, my concern is that if this setting gets written to nvram, then I probably want to avoid it as I don't want to keep writing to it.

 

Thanks,

 

Benoit.

Generally its more efficient to use a variable because its all done in memory (RAM), unlike enable/disable of a program which writes a file to the SD card each time.

That's what I though.

 

Thanks for the quick response!

Damn you guys!

 

This is not something I have ever even thought about. Now there goes my Sunday, changing all my enable/disable operations to looking a variables or flag programs.

 

Thanks for the topic. Always learning.
