Scripted events





Just wondering here..

If you create a script that basically says 'when this switch goes ON
then turn these two lights OFF" what should the source address of the
final
commands be.

Source=ACME.switch.test   	<originates the message

Source =mi4.HomeSeer.test    	<watches the switch and sends out two new
messages targeted at

Target=ACME.Lamp.Landing
Target=ACME.Lamp.BedRoom  	< but what should the source be ?

There is the obvious where it is source=mi4.HomeSeer.test and the other
possibility is source=ACME.switch.test - is the second definitely wrong for
any reason where you create such a defined linkage - the same for example
could be reasoned for xAP Mapper ie pass the source :-)

If the source is mi4.HomeSeer.test then the lamp can't filter this 'engine'
out whereas if it was the original switch it can which gives it some
inbuilt
security. However some more complex interactions don't have an obvious
source eg 'When Light A AND light B are ON then turn OFF C
