feature request: service for current position/state #6

Closed olafvs closed 6 months ago

olafvs commented 2 years ago

If I would have a service to get he current position / state of slide I would be able to request it just in time before I would operate my slide. Based on the outcome of the get I would be able to take appropriate action.

What I have to do now is set the update interval very low. But this causes an insane amount of network requests just to get the right position.

My use case: I have a wall dimmer for my lights which I also use to control my curtains. Using the upper button will open my curtains and using the lower button will close them. I would like to be able to stop them whem they are either opening or closing, but to do this I need the current state.

@ualex73 I would really like to be able to get the current position of my slides too.

This is possible if you switch to the local API, then you can call as much as you want (e.g. every 5 seconds). The Cloud API is closing, so that will become the only option.
