Delay before reporting off-line #4

Closed FlyingDiver closed 3 years ago

As discussed I would build in a user-specified delay before considering a client "actually" disconnected. Not sure why you'd want to delay a connection trigger (disconnection, yes, but connection?), but I suppose no harm in adding that option.

The delay adds considerable complexity to the plugin. Right now, it reports off-line as soon as the controller data indicates that. Adding a delay means keeping a time-stamped list, etc, etc. That won't be in the first release. You could do the same thing with Indigo triggers and timers, if it really doesn't work for you.

I think I have a solution. I added an "offline_seconds" state to the device. So now you can set a trigger to do whatever for that device whenever that state value exceeds your threshold.

Not to be implemented. If you want delayed triggers for devices going off-line, use Indigo triggers or see the Occupatum plugin.
