How to remember device value ?

[kmeta 2]

Hello

i want to create virtual device with functionality - Turn HOME OFF/ON

(turn off part of devices when i leave and turn on them when i come back)

I want to save status/value of devices witch is turned on before turn them off and to restore same status/value when i press Turn ON button. I can do that using global variables, but to create 100+ variables from interface for each device is too long process.

It's another way to do it ?

Sure, create a "binary" variable (or several but not many for grouping) of length equal to the number of devices you have and represent the On status as 1 and Off as 0.

With several:

Variable Value

Dev00-09 0010001011

Dev10-19 1110001111

Dev20-29 1110001111

may be is better to create a table:

devicestatus = {deviceID=id, valueID = value}

also to check and add in table only deices with value > 0, dimmers and switches.

Same time can exclude some devices from heating system.
