Feedback Request: Conditional Actions

[rmasonjr]

For sure. There has been functionality I wanted to add to HS but dreaded the old style of Events to make it happen. Just recently I made a whole series of events to use the HSx200/300 LEDs for door status indicators, and with the new model, I expect a 3:1 reduction in the event count to carry out the same functionality.

Glad to see this evolution! The 'old' way was intuitive to someone with a coding or scripting background (or a lot of years with Homeseer). The 'new' way I think is probably intuitive to a larger audience.

I've been doing the same with my LED status indicators - grouping them and consolidating. I might start a new thread for ideas on how they are being used.

Same here. This snippet of 1 event encompasses functionality I used to have in 6 separate events:

I think it would really be beneficial to have add "or if" in a the conditionnal block.

This event could have been shorter and easier to maintain with " or if" instead of repeating the action 3 times.

Please keep an eye out for the next feature poll (coming very soon) and we'll begin this process again with another feature. Thanks to everyone who's provided feedback here. I think you will agree that the new feature is awesome has changed the way that users can now approach event creation!
