Capture Blinking Digits #3362

The Feature

My meter blinks the digits every 10 seconds or so for 0.5 seconds. This makes it very hard to capture. Could we detect first poll for something dislayed and then stard recognition? image

This would need another module which continiously analysis the camera picture, maybe even in a kind of video mode. This is a major developent and not planned at the moment. Also it would require a deeper change in the internal logic, as this is based on a constant time triggered flow. Effort rather high - currently not planned.
