Easy Trigger plug-in - Feature Requests

[pseudocode]

Group ordering would be great (or failing that show the items in the group list in their actual order not alphabetically).

When doing something to all items in a group the order the items were added to the group is used, which is obvious when you also have a delay - I use this for my shutters, so they move in a sequence.

But the order can't be managed except by removing and adding all the devices again, and can't be seen in the UI. I think also Super Groups don't seem to consistently maintain the order, IMO they should concatenate the items in the order they appear (and remove the last duplicate, in case of overlap).

Please trap this error so we know what Event is actually causing it...

Addition of address and category would be beneficial for dynamic groups.

also Super groups are super, thanks!

Would be great to have a plugin function that checks whether a specific time is in a schedule, rather than always assuming NOW.

Could be a simple addition of an optional second parameter of type DateTime in the call to IsTimeInScheduleTimeRange.

Scenario I want to handle - I have scripts which use schedules to decide when actions are allowed (e.g. managing blinds for direct sunlight), but in some cases I want to not take a specific action during the last X minutes of a schedule - so I'd like to be able to use IsTimeInScheduleTimeRange("Schedule", Now.AddMinutes(X)) to check that.

All good now!

randy, please test version 3.0.0.78, it should solve your problem.

In version 3.0.0.77 released as a Beta, I have added the "Super" group type. A super group can contain any other group type including other super groups, but if a super group contains another super group be careful to not create circular references which would lead to a group containing itself.

Any plans to add other feature soon?
A natural extension to groups (which as immense value) is being able to place them in a virtual device to see the status. I made this request a few years ago I think. Super Groups make this even more useful... a device that we can set to show the status like: Doors/Windows currently Open, Motion Sensors currently triggered, etc

Back to .76 and all is well. It’s time to quit for the evening. I’ll try again tomorrow when I can look for log errors.

Installed beta .77. The Easy Trigger Settings page simply says “ERROR”. I cannot get the plug-ins menu to open to roll back. Will restore from a backup.

As a natural extension to Enable/Disable Event can you add a condition for "Event is Enabled" / "Event is Disabled"? That would help me a lot since I do some actions based on whether a Motion Event is enabled or disabled.

Really appreciate the plug-in, thanks.

I would like to have functionality that can

1) Create new schedules
2) Delete existing schedules

Both of those basically allow to modify schedules but also with the option to create new schedules that didn't exist yet. I am not sure what the best way is to get the schedule information. Maybe through global variables. It should be some mechanism that can be used via HSTouch so schedules can be created via HSTouch.

You can update or create a schedule using the SetSchedule scripting function:
