It’s getting clearer in my mind, I think…
I guess I’m old school. Years ago we used to use RS232 to talk to ‘devices’. It was pretty much everything sat there waiting till something happened. No keep alive, or periodic wakeup calls. I guess what I have trouble understanding now is why that is necessary. If a device has an event it wakes up sends the event and goes back to sleep. (assuming it got the ack). But that whole scenario I guess goes back to the Matter/Thread specs.
I added an Ikea motion detector back in to HE late yesterday. During the night it got triggered several times and HE missed part of them. Got some and missed others.
Contact sensor is online this morning but I don’t know if it went off any time or not.
So I’ll just continue on the way I got things and not worry about it anymore. My old brain can’t take much more…
Correction: The motion detector probably didn’t miss any events. Forgot about the max events in the events list. So some had already been deleted.
