In theory, if it is working as expected, the rule will not fire twice within that period of time. For instance, if you have a "fire when temp goes below 50 degrees" rule, and the temperature is fluctuating from 49 to 51 and back with some rapidity,…
How much does this slow down the network? Does this mean the Twine is PERMANENTLY slowing down my entire network? Or just while it is trying to connect?
The twine is having all sorts of networking issues. Last I heard from them a couple of weeks ago they were still working on this. Haven't heard back for a while so I hope that is still true. As of right now, my Twine will connect just fine for a …
Fine, but it seems line they'd be better off with solid support from their beta-test (or is it alpha-test) crowd before opening publicly. Which would mean getting this working on our networks before soliciting orders for immediate delivery.
Hrmmm. They are now shipping in 2-4 days (and even faster if you order from Amazon) and still no resolution of all the connectivity problems or any recent communication from support despite my long-since open ticket.
Is there new firmware coming? …
Back when I first joined Kickstarter (this was the first item I ever sponsored) it was not at all obvious to many of us that we were backing dreams with no promises of success. I thought I was funding the production of a product, not its initial de…
The frustrations come from not being explicitly told "you are an alpha-tester. We are still working on this and you are not doing anything wrong. It will be fixed."
I might or might not have wanted to be part of an alpha test, but if the device h…
Ok. I'm really going to need some one-on-one help with this. My Airport Extreme says it is broadcasting on channels 149 and 11. My Airport Express says it is broadcasting on channel 11. It is set to "Extend a wireless network" and the "Wireless …
So does this mean I may actually still have the Twine connecting to my upstairs router even though it's on the same network as the router closer to the basement which is extending the range of my network? I didn't see any way to tell it which route…
Even with static IP, I am getting very erratic connections. I'll get them for a few minutes or hours more or less on schedule (every 45, 90, or 135 seconds) and then it will miss a few hours.
I just want mine to work consistently. I'll take future additions later. Right now I have a nice piece of pale green rubber that occasionally transmits data, but not reliably.
Got another response but nothing useful. Am I the only one left with a nonworking Twine? This is getting to be extremely frustrating. I would rather have waited a few more months.
Right now mine seems to be waking up approximately once a day without my doing anything, but then it goes to sleep for the rest of the day. That's not going to work for me, obviously. Sounds like others are having the same or similar issues, but w…
But if it is mounted on your front door, it will never change side. Moving it side to side does not change the orientation as far as the Twine is concerned -- it still has the same side down.
Unless it's a trap door. Then it would work.
Thanks. I will take a look at these ideas. But first I have to get a Twine that actually communicates regularly. Right now my update frequency ranges up to 3 hours and down to 7 seconds.
Ah. But then you'd still need a rule for every possible temperature and in both directions, if you want to use that as a temperature log. E.g. rises above 70, rises above 71, rises above 72...., falls below 72, falls below 71, falls below 70....
So does the whole probe have to be sitting in standing water for it to trigger? I want to use mine as a basement water leak sensor but I want it to trigger before I have to replace all the drywall, carpeting, and insulation in the basement at a cos…

Yes to language change being in order, but I think many of us also want to be able to query CURR…
Theft alarm. Not sure whether vibration will meet this need because I don't know how sensitive the thing will be to vibration. Of course, orientation change assumes the person doesn't deliberately hold the device at exactly the same orientation, b…
Is that the same for moisture and temperature? For instance, I have a rule that says to trigger when it's below 55 degrees, and to reset after 3600 seconds. Will it then only send me another message if it goes ABOVE 55 degrees? OR will I get one …
Isn't that how the "reset" timer sort of works? I.e. if the magnetic sensor is engaged for 0.1 seconds, send a text, and then reset in 5 minutes so if it is still engaged 5 minutes later you get another text?
