Question about Band Trigger?

[SeattleGirl5122]

I am making use of "Goes inside limits" and wanted to know exactly how this is implemented by mcsTemperature.

How frequently does mcsTemperature make checks to see if the temperature is inside limits? By what method does it make its decision?

I am using Homeseer 2 version 2041 and Temp08 with 1-wire sensors DS18S20.

Thanks for the help.

I looked in the manual, and it does not say how frequently it checks incoming data.

Does it get the value from the IO stream or from the database?

Evaluations for trigger and TemperatureActions are on a 60 second interval. The data for this is in the HS DeviceStrings. The logic looks for transitions into and out of the limits. A trigger will occur on the transition after the specified persist period has been satisfied. For example, if persist is 5 minutes, then the trigger will occur 5 minutes after the value has remained within the limits for 5 consecutive minutes. It will not retrigger until at least one 60 second evaluation is outside the limit or the retrigger interval has been satisfied.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.
