RE: Re: Renaming of instances and SubInstances?

- I was trying to draw attention to now and upcoming applications Stuart -
of course I assumed everyone knew about yours as they pioneered this
territory !

Oops sorry - K

Actually I have a question - a very fundamental one - came from a remark
James made - given that I have a device say

acme.xapper.downstairs with 2 outputs that control lights

acme.xapper.downstairs:TableLamp
and acme.xapper.downstairs:CentreLight

which do people feel is right within a Body section called output
say

output <<< This is how most people seem to go now
{
device=TableLamp
state=ON
}

OR

Output
{
TableLamp=ON
}

This has a fundamental bearing in handling multiple devices with a body

Eg

Output
{
device=TableLamp
state=ON
device=CentreLight
state=OFF
device=TableLamp
device=CentreLight
state=ON
}


Bearing in mind the ordering of name value pairs is not defined -
and indeed is reordered by some hubs currently ;-)

Or are we saying this has to be handled with mulitiple bodies and no
name value pair can be repeated ?

Output.
{
device=TableLamp
device=CentreLight
state=ON
}

being not legal - it's a bit like the housecode /action two stage process
in
X10 if this is right......
