repeating actions

I need to repeat an action until I disable the action to stop it. How do I do this?

Re: repeating actions

Can you explain your scenario a bit?

You could use schedule to keep firing the action (something like server actions > execute an action)

Or the action itself could have an action in it to fire itself, though that's more prone to looping difficulties.

Re: repeating actions

@howartp - I think it is related to the use of an Insteon switch with my LIFX plugin. - see this thread: LIFX Tip: Brightening & Dimming
I am hoping to be able to resolve it in the plugin. :)

It would be a bit messy to do it outside of the plugin - probably doable (I haven't put my mind to the problem) but definitely not as user friendly. :)

Re: repeating actions

Yup it is! I got it sort of working by creating a schedule that repeats once per second and executes the dim command. Then I have triggers that turns the action on or off depending if the switch is held or not. It takes four actions and two schedules but it does sort of work. Schedules seems to be limited to 1 second though so I cant execute actions and faster than that.

Re: repeating actions

Multiple identical actions, all firing every second? :)
