[dss-developer] Best way for polling state of devices

[Hofmann, Christoph]

Dear Aldo,

digitalSTROM is a decentralized system, the dSS does not know the output values of the devices. The system works with presets (scenes). If you really need to, you can ask the devices for the current output value. But as I already told you: If you like to do cyclic reads of the values, you may query only one value per minute and circuit! See Rule 8 and Rule 9 in ds-basics.

Regs,
Christoph
