Great feedback, thanks.

Agreed. It is actually stored, and you can get to it through AppleScript: last changed of device "blah" returns an AppleScript date object with the last time/date that device "blah" changed.
DomoPat wrote:- the need to capitalize exactly the devices names or variables in the trigger action or groups drives me crazy and generates a lot of errors.
I'm assuming you're talking about in AppleScripts. We're not likely to change those names to be case insensitive - that kind of change makes migration very difficult when there's a conflict (among other problems). We're hoping to expose a unique id (per object type: device, action group, etc) so you don't have to worry about identifying by names (which obviously can change).
DomoPat wrote:- and when a group fails because of that it is not easy to identify which one it is and which action failed. I have a lot of delayed actions, and in this case it is difficult to find the culprit. The logging of the error message could be more precise.
Agreed, and error log improvements are definitely on the list.
DomoPat wrote:- I miss an AppleScript verb for "how long since the last change": very useful for a lot of monitoring of devices or to avoid multiple pushes on a remote command button.
See above - the last changed verb is there so it should be pretty easy to calculate it.
DomoPat wrote:- inverted on/off: I have a Powerflash device on a flowmeter for the pool pump. Unfortunately the switch is Off when there is flow and On when the flow is stopped. So I have to name the device something like "No Flow in Pool" and have a double negative with "No Flow in Pool" being Off means there is flow... not a big deal but it would be nice to have a "reverse on/off" option for this type of cases.
- color in the log of messages created with AppleScript. Nice to be able to set the type, I would also like to write some things in red or blue...
Color coding via type is also on the list. I'd really like to see it so we'll see if it makes it in for 5.0.
