Plus Uni Actions

[Shellist]

Currently i am working on a smart controlling device. The main functionality is the comparison of temperatures from the sensors that provoke a certain action eg:

• if sensor(1) > sensor(2) => output(0) ON
• if sensor(0) - sensor(1) <= 5 => output(1) OFF
• ... (some other 5 or 6 required)

I could do all this in a smarthome system, but my controller is critical and needs to run even without internet or wifi or a server. It is required that the device runs autonomous.

As far as i can see (and other users confirm) it is not possible to compare sensors in "Actions" - so a Script is required. But in my special case this is "sub-optimal", because i need to change some details in the different actions according to some experience values. Changes in a complex script might cause consequential errors - and it is much easier to add additional rules/actions if i don't have to update a script (eg for certain error situations that i do not see now).

So what I need for upcoming christmas is an information (or a firmware update) on two issues:

• compare sensors in "actions"
• generate any sort of "message" in "Actions" that is shown on the shelly UI itself (and can be read out by a smarthome system) - eg: "Sensor(3) unavailable". In a script i can do this with a debugging statement, but I don't see a way to realize it in "Actions"

Stupid me! Just store Messages in the KVS and they are readable on the UI as well as in the smarthome system. Sorry, I am learning more and more every day.
