This has been discussed a few places but thought I'd bring it up here.. Due to performance issues, desire for more control, and a general curiosity I was thinking about rewriting my RM rules as apps (maybe parent/child apps). I realize this is not for everyone but wanted to get people's thoughts on…

Just to touch on a few points here. RM and all the applications that we publish are written in groovy, and they are written the exact same way as applications written by users, sure there are one or two internal shortcut methods that for security reasons only work with system applications, but that…

It's certainly a tribute to HE's flexibility and design that it can handle both scenarios..

My intent was in no way meant to put any negativity on RM.. I am seriously impressed with RM and it's capabilities.. And for a non-programmer it is absolutely the way to go.. And I still use it for my simple rules.. But the power and speed behind locally executed groovy code is amazing for more comp…

[image] bcopeland: Writing an app for every simple rule I have would be ridiculous I know right?

Yea.. I probably have 15 RM rules that would all have to be separate apps.. I start writing an app when it start requiring variables and has more than one if/then else .. There is one app I wrote that was a simple RM .. but I really wanted to squeeze a few extra milliseconds out of the response on t…

This is why it blows my mind with the reports of slow response times.. I'm sitting here talking about improving milliseconds of time differences.. I have done driver revisions to squeeze a few more milliseconds responsiveness (and fewer packets)

You know there could be RM issues for larger rules due to the complexity and maybe funky interactions. Since you are only using simple rules and custom apps that may be partly a reason why you haven't experienced the issues some of us have.

The way I see it.. RM is high level.. groovy is as close to the metal as we can get on the platform.. Again.. Please don’t take this as me dissuading people from using RM

Me either!! I'm just someone who is interested in tinkering with this stuff and kinda knows how/likes to code. For people who just want things to work should consider using RM before anything else.

I did a demo video that showed how crazy fast the platform really is.. It involved 2 of my drivers and the built-in mirror app in HE... The output of a device through my driver to the mirror app and back out to another of my drivers to 3 different devices.. It was imperceptible delay.. It was almost…

Writing your own "rule" apps worth it?
