ISY: Allow Variables as triggers

This discussion is 10 years old. It predates today's Roomie Remote X, and the app names, menus, features, pricing, and device details below have changed substantially since 2016. Treat it as historical reference — see Support and current compatibility for how things work today.

In short

This simple ( no pun intended) change would increase the power of the ISY Simple control interface immensely. — A member replied: “I'd like to second this request.

This simple ( no pun intended) change would increase the power of the ISY Simple control interface immensely.

Having to tie triggers directly to physical devices is not ideal. You are limited to number of devices that located in an appropriate physical location and controlling the scene with programs becomes problematic.

With variables, you can create as many as you want for individual trigger and programmatically trigger them in the ISY based on programs or combinations of of scenes etc.

I'd like to second this request. Using variables as triggers would be incredibly useful.

Also, any word on the SimpleControl API that was mentioned in passing earlier? Using the ISY network module and a SimpleControl API would be a good alternative.
