The issue with web IpT is that devices send data reports of their status every fraction of a second. The packet may just be a few bytes but over time it adds up. Instead I wished they could just send status when they change state and wait for a confirmation but that’s harder to code…
If (Status != Prev_Status) {Send_All_User_Data();}
Yes! The issue is that if the server misses that packet, the status is now wrong. So they need an aknowledgement send from the server.
Ok...? That's extremely standard. And easy.
And yet they don’t implement it…
Every single one that uses an interface like that does. All of them. i'm talking about the requiring a response from the server part.
Most also do not do .1s update rate or whatever you think the one device you have does.
A washimg machine isnt a micro frontend, the machine should do all the calculations on cpu and not report every time the drum spins or whatever.
I think it’s dumber than that. It just sends a
status:onevery 0.5secThats verry dumb
No they don't. Most send updates every 5 seconds, every minute etc.
My MyQ garage door would disagree with you.
