I just got NetRemote working with hsGirder and my creative juices are a flowing and I hit my first hurdle. I am turning on/off my av amp through NetRemote using IRBlaster, but how can I tell HS whether the amp is currently on or off?
I created a virtual device called 'amp' and thought I'd just be able to set the status of it whenever the 'amp power' event was triggered but what about this scenerio:
Suppose I'm watching TV through an event called 'watchTV'. This event turns on my amp and tv. Then I restart homeseer (or do something else that knocks the status of the amp out of whack). My amp is on but now the status of amp will be 'unknown'.
So how is everyone else handling this issue? I tried doing a search for this but the search engine doesn't like the words 'on' and 'off'
Thanks
Eric
