For example. You can set the duration by milliseconds, then enter something like 10100010
If duration is 5ms, then the LED would blink L
on for 5ms
off for 5ms
on for 5ms
off for 15ms
on for 1ms.
(Not adding a 0 at the end would leave the LED on.)

This could adapt to TWINE 2 where perhaps there would be a multi-color LED, so G0R0B could be used

Is it possible to turn off twine when it is not in use without removing battery ...to get more battery Life ,,]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/238/offline-mode Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:21:21 +0000 Feature requests Jeremie KLEIN 238@/discussions
I'm wondering if Twine will be able to buffer data when the wifi is not available and then populate trigger/report/log once the connection is available again.

thanks

I'd like to be able to configure the network (host) name of my Twine to anything I want - so it can be Fridge or Alarm.

Thanks!]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/170/support-for-hidden-ssid Thu, 06 Dec 2012 20:15:22 +0000 Feature requests Gord Smith 170@/discussions
I tried broadcasting one, got the Twine all hooked up, then hid it again and the Twine lost connection.

It's got all the information (SSID, security, channel, passphrase) so why can't it connect?

There's even a manual setup GUI that makes it look like it will connect to hidden networks.

ETA?]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/110/better-wifi-range Fri, 23 Nov 2012 16:54:05 +0000 Feature requests Joel Finkle 110@/discussions http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/45/mounting-options-or-insulation Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:42:16 +0000 Feature requests Jon Plummer 45@/discussions
I get that this is a very DIY product, but as we find more more and better uses for it it'll get taken up by folks who will need a little more handholding. So a bracket that grips the sheath, or even just some protection for the back of the board, would be nice.]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/202/please-add-an-option-to-upload-rules-via-csv-files Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:56:56 +0000 Feature requests John Amschler 202@/discussions

You could even have an array of TWINEs and allow them to alter each other's rules (ala twineID:ruleID:trigger|action). This is obviously for advanced users but I'm sure there is someone out there who would be able to tease some interesting emergent behaviours out of such a network which would be cool to see. I can see a room full of TWINEs with all their LEDs forming some weird pattern like Conway's game of life animations.

Practical uses would, of course, follow later.]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/186/text-messages-china-unicom-carrier Mon, 10 Dec 2012 07:15:05 +0000 Feature requests Erik Chan 186@/discussions http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/163/add-twine-name-to-low-battery-alerts Wed, 05 Dec 2012 00:20:32 +0000 Feature requests Randy Baldwin 163@/discussions http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/179/battery-life Sun, 09 Dec 2012 10:54:36 +0000 Feature requests Robert Pettengill 179@/discussions http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/176/switching-between-multiple-access-points-channels-on-the-same-wifi-network Sun, 09 Dec 2012 05:05:32 +0000 Feature requests Thomas Costick 176@/discussions
If I move the Twine to a different location where another AP would be a better choice, it does not connect to the stronger signal, even in cases where the original AP is out of range.

Is there a firmware update that includes better handling of multiple APs on the same network?]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/114/feature-request-tilt-angle-rule-needed Fri, 23 Nov 2012 17:45:57 +0000 Feature requests Mark Engelhardt 114@/discussions http://community.supermechanical.com/index.php?p=/discussion/109/using-twine-to-monitor-garage-door-and-send-reminder-notifications#Item_2 which is almost what I need... But...

My garage door gets stuck when it its almost all the way down... So the feature I need is to have twine detect a small change in the orientation.. I need a rule that says if the the angle of the twine on one axis is between 85 and 0 the door is open (send a message every 1/2 hour) if the angle is 86-90, then the door is closed (send nothing)

Sorry to post this twice, but I wanted to get this registered as a Feature Request, not just a comment.

Have the TWINE act as a simple timer for reminders. Use orientation of front and back to start and stop the timer. Could be in seconds, minutes, hours, etc based on UI. User can check the timer online in web format. MAYBE the LED flashes with countdown clock, maybe it doesn't to save power. Maybe it's a toggled config variable ...

EXAMPLE:

0. User configures TWINE to reminder/timer mode. Enters in seconds/minutes/hours to countdown.
1. User flips TWINE to front to start timer. Email/SMS/etc is sent to confirm the countdown has begun. Web interface will show the countdown.
2. Timer begins and will SMS/email/etc user when timer is expired ...
3. If user flips TWINE over before timer is done, timer is paused.
4. If timer expires, SMS/email/etc is sent.
5. If user shakes the TWINE, it's reset?

This is just off the top of my head, but perhaps it can be made better or more simple.

Thanks for listening.

Being able to report:
A. What wifi network the twine is currently on. and
B. The list of nearby wifi nodes (mac addresses, ssid) would enable something similar.

Thoughts guys?]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/132/if-you-do-another-hardware-version Tue, 27 Nov 2012 01:05:24 +0000 Feature requests David Abigt 132@/discussions http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/134/establishing-a-connection-when-wi-fi-is-down Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:55:03 +0000 Feature requests Bill Spencer 134@/discussions
I suggest that in the case of longer than expected delays in establishing a connection, twine should switch to making less frequent attempts to connect, perhaps in a progressive fashion. This mode would be suspended when a connection was reestablished, or by flipping twine over.]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/135/orientation-condition Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:07:10 +0000 Feature requests Ross Velazquez 135@/discussions
For example, while I'm at home I can have the top up (rules disabled), and then flip it over when I leave to enable the rules. This should avoid any extraneous alerts if I accidentally trigger it myself.]]> http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/131/rules-in-the-cloud-not-on-the-twine Tue, 27 Nov 2012 00:56:37 +0000 Feature requests Dan Beaudet 131@/discussions http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/31/multiple-simultaneous-sensors Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:33:44 +0000 Feature requests John Riggles 31@/discussions en
