I am writing a multi instance plugin and I need to save instance / configuration data to some form of non volatile storage. I have used external data files for this purpose in the past but am concerned that this approach will not pass muster for an official HomeSeer plugin.
I have initially tried using Visual Basic application configuration services:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vis...t?view=vs-2017
Unfortunately, it looks like this approach is much more complicated than it looks from looking at the Microsoft documentation. I am not able to get my saved application data to persist across multiple runs of the plugin.
So what is best practice here?? I am hoping there is another approach than using Visual Basic application configuration services.
