When Statement

**iamchadster** · 06-29-2017

Hi there,

So I just put in the ATK, really like it! I don't use the task function that much but tonight while playing with it I noticed the "When" statement got added in a test program and found this to be pretty useful. Did I miss something on this being released as programming language or was it just added with the ATK?

I was trying to find some documentation as I think it could be really useful in other outputs/outlets etc.

thank ya

The new firmware release includes the "When" statement. I have not tried it myself yet but opens up a lot of doors. Unlike other statements, it physically changes the state of your outlet from "Auto" to either "Off" or "On" and is not reversible as I understand it. So IMO it should be used as a last resort failsafe and should also be used to trigger an alarm. I will learn more when I finally dive into it, but that is my initial impression so far.
