I think there is a need for dedicated Kumo App support

[Bradley Britton]

I thought that I would share a thought. I think that the Tag system is fantastic and has a lot of potential if you know Java. There is no specific support to help with Kumo Apps and my experience so far is if you can’t get it working, then it’s probably going to remain that way when it doesn’t have too.

My thought is for a section at the top of the forum that remains there such as with “Scheduled and Unexpected Server Down Time Annoucements” and “Request for Comment: What products do you want Wireless Sensor Tags to integrate with?” If there was a page dedicated to Kumo Apps where each person may be able to help if they know the information or a single spot for the Tag Support team to monitor and help would be great.

I know that I am after only two apps to be written that I would like support with that I can’t get working and that’s it, there is no support for that. I’m sure that I am not the only person that would like support with Kumo Apps to really show the potential of this great system. Why not have support for the most complicated part of the system?

This community is lacking compared to others and I wish it wasnt that way. I am not a master coder at all and it would be cool if there was a group of people that could easily write some requests or even get paid to do so..

I understand that this is a small operation so I'm sensitive to the fact that resources can only be spread so thin and posts WILL be neglected.  As far as support for Kumoapps, I'm finding that the biggest downside is the lack of proper code debugging.  We're given tools to write code, but don't really have line of sight to what's going on as the code runs (with the exception of obvious errors that get displayed during execution).

So...what I'd really like to see is greater debugging tools.

Thanks for the suggestions. Right now you can just only KumoApp.Log() to output trace. 

Are you envisioning something like setting breakpoints in middle of the code and using web browser to step through your code?  How complicated is your code, what does it do?

Exactly. I'm thinking things like:

- Breakpoints

- Step through

- Watch variables

- Simulate event triggers (like manually sending a "too high" command or door opened)

At the moment, my code is not very complicated but that's mostly because I have no way to debug/test it without saving it outright and letting it run Live.
