errors / changes (android app)

[Chris b]

When you use a wemo  appliance it states device light on / off  since these are used normally for other things then lights it might be best to change to just on /off

When you select ping all - why not have them update all or have a update all option?

Why does motion sensor always say timed out?  if i select arm or disarm  it shows timed out.

When a wemo is removed it shows full signal and on.  if you update it  returns a error bad request.

Good suggestion. Thanks.

Ping and Update are different. Ping just checks if the tag is responding and its signal level. The Update will actually read the current temperature and humidity. You can Ping all tags at the same time but not update at the same time.

This just means no motion is detected and the sensor is ready to report any motion. It is equivalent to the "Armed" state in other systems. We use a different terminology for PIR sensors and motion sensor with "notify at motion stop" option enabled. This is confusing at first, but it just means the sensor transitioned to such state because of a timer you programmed (in motion sensor options screen) timed out. Think of a motion activated light. When no motion is detected, a timer starts, and it turns off light after the timer times out. The timer is reset to 0 when motion is detected again. If there was no such timer, as soon as motion is not detected it turns off light, then the light will be going on and off/flickering all the time. 
Not showing "timed out" state as "armed" state allows you tell if the sensor is PIR or regular tag, or if a tag is configured with the notify at motion stop option.

The wemo link is only updated when you click update. It does not update itself.
