How to get Last Echo device?

[bmxtreme]

I am trying to avoid wasting time writing extra script since BLRadar already track this. Is there a way to get the Last Echo device through the Plugin?

I want to set a condition where if the Last Echo device is something.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it is already being set to the root device.

Been a while since I've used BLRadar. Great buy, but my needs have changed, so it's installed, but I've not used it in a while.

BLRadar creates and updates a HS device called Last Echo. Perhaps you could just reference this device?

Thanks guys. That's what I am trying to figure. I know there is a "Last Echo" device, but all it does is keep tracks of the Motion Sensor name.

What i want is to use this device in the event Condition, say "Device Value Is". I don't think there is a condition for "Device String is"?

Got it. Yes, don't think there is any easy way of doing this.

However, why don't you log an feature request for BLRadar on Bob's site: http://bladeplugins.no-ip.org/ListFeatureRequests.asp

I've found him to be quite responsive to suggestions in the past.

Thinking about it some more, if you put in a feature request, it might even be an idea to ask for this as a trigger?

You can reference it from a script if that will help:

if(hs.isOnByName(hs.deviceString("$1"))) then
   hs.writeLog("debug","the last echo device is ON")
else
    hs.writeLog("debug","the last echo device is OFF")
end if 

Replace $1 with the device code of the last echo device.
