Hello,

I'm working on a plugin allowing to create relay and dimmer devices. At this time, all the code to perform basic actions like on, off, dim, bright, ... is OK, and I have defined these actions in Actions.xml.

I'm working now on the state feedback. I read (and I hope well understood) in the documentation that a device defined in Devices.xml as a standard type (relay and dimmer for the moment) can "inherit" behaviours from its type (states, actions, ...) and can be controlled by the Indigo Server through standard actions : turnOn, turnOff, ...

But I don't understand how to link my existing functions with the standard Indigo actions. Same question with state : I can define specific state, but I think devices inherit from their types.

We haven't released that functionality yet - it will be in the next release. Sometime this week hopefully. And we'll have documentation and examples available then.

OK Jay. So I have just to wait the release ...!
Thanks.

Hi,

Any news on when this documentation will be updated?

I'm trying to do the exact same thing but need to know how to implement turnOn, turnOff, statusRequest, actionControlDimmerRelay etc....

Thanks!

Check out the SDK - really good and thorough examples in there.

Thanks Jay - is that SDK package more up to date than the documentation here? - http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/wik ... g_tutorial - as that page has got the "Fix Me" graphic on the section regards turnOn/turnOff implementation in Python...

Thanks again!

Yes. The docs are lagging a bit but the examples are clear.

And it's really easy to implement.
I done it for my PLCBUS plugin, and it works like a charm !

Thanks - yep - it's really easy looking through the documentation!

Thanks for the pointer on the Wiki. I haven't improved the FIXME's yet, but I did just add a link to the SDK at the top of that tutorial wiki.
