Not an issue but I need help to trigger programmaticaly an update #21

Open sstraus opened 1 week ago

sstraus commented 1 week ago

Hi Loren, is there a way to programmatically trigger an update? I'm checking the timestamp of many temperature sensors and if it's older than 1 day, I want to reset the temperature and trigger an update to have the value reflected in all readers. Is this possible?

There's no API for pushing an update for a value that hasn't changed. The simplest thing would be to set up an interval timer to change temperature by a fraction on every interval. Not enough to significantly change the value of temperature, but just enough that it's different from the current state to trigger an update.

As an open source project the other possibilities are limitless.
