iRidium Feedback Question

Hi Together

I'm trying the iRidium App on my iPhone4.

But there is one Problem i found:

I.E. In the Mainline there is a Feedback for a Relais ( Button = Relais)
If i close the App in the Background (Multitasking) and the state of the Relais is changed and i reopen the App,
the Feedback isn't refresh on the iRidium App. When i close the App completely and start it again. The Feedback is changed.
Is there any other with this Problem? Or have me a little hint.

thanks
John

    You will probably have to handle this in your code.

    When the iRidium goes away it may create an Offline event. And conversely, when it comes back when you relaunch the app, it may create an Online event.

    So put a feedback refresh routine in your online event and it'll refresh the feeback when you come back with the app.

    I do this will all interfaces no matter what they are.

    Hi Eric

    Thanks for your "Feedback" :-)

    I have noticed this as well. And, it appears that TPControl features as well. I believe it is a bug or a limitation created by the IOS environment.

    Namely, although the channel event occurs, the graphic state of the buttons is not updated with the OFF appearance when the panel goes offline. Subsequently, they will show the ON state, when the application resumes.

    The workaround is to "flash" the buttons to ON and then to OFF on the online event, as a simple OFF will produce no appearance effect, as the given channel figures already as OFF. Then, the programmed channel changes will reflect properly in the button state.

    A bit clumsy, but, I guess, not much to do unless they will address it.

    You mean: in the online event i must check is the button OFF, so set the button first to ON and then to OFF. And this for all Buttons on the iRidium App? The Button's Devices are combined!

    That's not work all the time. :-(

    That's exactly what I mean. "checking" will return zero, as the channel is OFF, but will not tell you whether the graphic state matches OFF or, maybe, is still reflecting ON if that's what the offline event caught it like...

    Unfortunately, yes, this is the only way to be certain. Flash ON and then OFF all your buttons that have feedback on the online event.
