Groups of events in macros....
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 3:18 pm
Hi,
I have a suggestion regarding the use of events in macros to start actions. Normally you define a macro, add one or more actions to it and an event that will trigger execution.
If you add more events to a macro it seems that this is basically an OR function.
I think it could be valuable to have also an "AND within time window" function.
Assume you could create a group and add event to it. Then instead of adding a single event, you add the "event group" to the macro.
Like the example below, the macro should execute if the events appears in the shown order within the defined and configurable time window
Best regards, Walter

Code: Select all
event_1 AND event_2 AND event_3
(If all the events happens within 5 minutes, then execute the macro)
