status register or store

[aussie mate]

I'm not sure if this is possible or if it can be done by another method.

I was thinking that it would be good to have a feature that would allow VC to store a status of something so that it can then be used at a later time.
for example -
if I had a light turned on and that was recorded so that VC could use that information in it's logic without having to poll a device.
This would allow it to "remember" something that happened in the past and use that in it's logic.
if a weather report shows that it was raining/snowing/ hot etc  - then that status is stored and can be used later.

Yes - I know that these sort of things could be done using complex scraping commands and other fancy things however for the non programmers out there like me - a nice simple way to use the logic feature of VC to provide different conditional responses would be good feature to have.

I guess it depends what you mean by "status of things", but you can do this by getting that status of a device and storing it as a variable or in a map (more long term), or simply by writing that information to a file and then reading the file later.

So Vera users can store status information retrieved as {LastResult} via getstatus actions (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Plugin_Vera#Get) either in a map or as a variable etc. And if you're using some other method to get the status of a device, you simply then store that result in the same way.

This really does not belong in feature requests.  There is a wealth of information on this topic, on the forum, on the wiki, and in youtube videos.
