Initialisation of device property on startup

Post by alibaba »

How can I change the state of the sleep timer device to running on startup of housebot?

I tried to use the initial value of the property running, but this is switched back to "no" after the timeout.

Or is there another possibility to start a task once, when housebot is started?



Thanks

Having a 'Startup' type Task is something that is really needed. Others have requested the same feature.



Without some kind of startup task support, you would need to create a Task that runs often (caused by a condition check in, perhaps, the System Time.Time property). It would then have to execute the startup tasks and then set a user defined Property (non-persistent) so the Task won't continually execute.



I'll look into adding a startup task to the next version.
