MySensors wish

[James Sentman]

Hello Dave,

I think those messages didn’t exist in the API when I last worked on the mySensors plugin. I will implement them enough that at least they won’t throw error messages. Are they of any use? Should they call through to an option script handler or something? I can’t think of many ways they would be useful except perhaps to send a waiting command when the device wakes up. Though the underlying mySensors system is supposed to handle that sort of thing up to a point without you having to do anything like that. At the very least it might be interesting to have a Unit Property for last wakeup or something just to keep the last message date updating so you could create an error if it dropped off the network for too long.

Thanks,
