The condition is true when it _crosses_ that temperature. Twine watches for the event. The reset value is the amount of time after an event that the condition can be evaluated again.
That's not good. I'm watching this, and have made some tweaks already. A possible cause is that your temperature is fluctuating right around the value you set, and it's constantly crossing it. If you resave your rules you'll get an update that pads …
Thanks, Savraj - I did the box design along with the structural design group at Corrugated Container Corp ( http://www.cccbox.com/ ). Usually manufacturers' design services are not that great, but these guys know their stuff.
A man with two thermometers never knows what temperature it is! The cover will slow down how Twine's temperature reading adjusts to changes, but it should get to the right temperature. There's little variation between Twines. Note that if temperatur…
The moisture sensor reports that something is either wet or dry. We're just starting to ship them to Kickstarter backers, and should have enough stock to ship to anyone next week.
No, and we do need to take the time to document. The reset time is the time before the condition can be triggered again. For example, if I put a magnetic switch on a swinging door, I might set the reset time to 10 seconds so that the rule isn't trig…
Vibration sensor is sampling 50 times a second. It may depend on how firmly you mount Twine to the door, the frequency and duration of a disturbance, etc, which is why I say magswitch is the "cleanest". But we've tested vibration on a door and it's …
We would if we could, but this is a compromise we chose to make - Twine keeps power consumption low by sending the regular updates without listening for a response. It checks for updates every two hours, unless you trigger it earlier with a flip.
Glad it's working now. I'll try to find in the logs why you got that compile error.
Resolution is technically .2 seconds. Twine reports every minute if nothing special happens, but is checking its rules 5 times a second. The act of reporting is wh…
Twine doesn't run a web server - drains too much power! You can use the HTTP output to send the current temperature. It will call the URL you provide, so you'll need a web service to receive the value.
Chris, click on 'options' and check out "trigger after __ seconds in this orientation". That should do what you want. (Suggestions for better wording are always welcome.)
Chris is right. Orientation is "which side is up?" (it works by measuring the direction of gravity). When you mount it to your door, the same side is always up, so this doesn't help. The cleanest way to know when a door has been opened is to use a m…
Ian, we're working on vibration now - it'll be pushed to your Twine in a few weeks. We needed more time to get it right, and didn't want to hold up shipment.
API is a little further out, but we're working on that, too.
Nicholas, like most electronic gadgets, Twine is rated for operation in 0 to 140ºF. Go colder than that at your own risk. We're exploring an external temperature sensor which will be able to handle such extreme temperatures while you keep Twine itse…
Gary, it's in the works. David's currently working on an update to add vibration support and better battery life, but we should have something up here soon.
