Re: Re: xPL newbie (still!) needs help with xPL_HomeVision (detecting variable chang

[Andrew Kilgore <andrew.kilgore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the tips - I'm certain they'll be very useful...

After all our hard work, it turns out that having HV notify me of
variable changes will not work efficiently for me. As a test I was
playing about with my immersion (momentary) switch which starts a
timer for 0.4 seconds. Everytime the timer fires I change the colour
of an LED and restart the timer. This continues until the switch is
released. This worked fine but runs like a dog with variable reporting
enabled (as the timer event sets a couple of variables)

:o(

I'll have to think of another way round this - will let you know what
I come up with...!

Thanks,
Andy.
