Petition for Early Release of Rule Machine to Run Locally

[SBDOBRESCU (Bobby)]

Continuing the discussion from [UPDATED] Rule Machine with Triggers:

Those in favor, say AYE!!!

@guywmartin

I’d really like to see @Ben and @slagle advocate with ST management to allow advanced users such as us to run Rule Machine locally.

Not only would this help in a lot of the performance issues we’re seeing, it would help stoke the excitement of those of us who are ambassadors for this platform to both technical and non-technical associates.

[bridaus (Brian)]

AYE!

The trick will be for Rule Machine to become a stable (by stable I mean not changing, it’s very stable in terms of reliability). @bravenel is making great!!! updates week to week.

Please please please please please do this ST!

[guywmartin (Guy Martin)]

Absolutely, 1000% agree… if ST management wants us to sign some ‘we hold you blameless for potential issues’ thing, I’m more than happy to do that!

How about de-coupling the rules from the firmware so we can upload our own rules on the HUB. Allow user to upload the rules from the IDE onto the HUB directly. Sure you can limit the number of rules to keep the system stable. but for now AYEEE to rule machine for local processing…

Another AYE here…20chars

I agree completely! It’s been a rocky ride for the past month, a lot of evolution in a short time. In hindsight, I had to figure it out through doing it to get to where it is now. I do think the structural evolution has reached a stable point for the future.

What he said… AYE!

[bridaus (Brian)]

For the record I love and encourage the evolution. It’s natural. In fact I’m impressed with how solid the releases are. I couldn’t do it.

[JH1 (Never Trust @bamarayne)]

I suspect this will only happen if ST makes it an official app.

AYE

[bravenel (Bruce)]

@JH1

I expect neither will happen.

[SBDOBRESCU (Bobby)]

C’mon Bruce, it will be @alex’s Christmas gift to all of us!

[kjdayley (Kurtis)]

Aye for sure. Great work.

[bravenel (Bruce)]

@tgauchat

there isn’t anything to keep it from flowing through the “submit for publication to marketplace” process.

What process? It is unmanned.

[Mr_Lucky (Bob)]

100% agree that Rule Machine should be allowed to run locally, for reasons previously mentioned). That said, SmartThings is not a democracy, so I suspect our “petition” will accomplish little more than a feel good.

[RudiP (Rudi Prunzel)]

AYE!!! (20 char)

[darrylb (Darryl)]

+1 Aye!!!

@tgauchat

But when a SmartApp has a high-profile, some folks at SmartThings will pay special attention. The only catch is that there are a lot of important high-priority issues at ST, so nothing is going to be at the top of the pile

It’s been in the “process” for 19 days. Nada. There it sits, and most likely will to continue to sit. I have other submissions in the same position in the process, that have been there much longer. I repeat, there is no process. Face it, community apps are a PIA for them, bottom of a pile that grows daily.

[CAL7 (Charles)]

Aye!

What is ST’s attitude/policy towards local apps? I saw a flurry of complaints when v2 was released with so much less than what was expected by the community, but I don’t hear much now. Is what we have now, pretty much it? Or is there some indication local can be opened up (sometime down the road)? Is some security provision needed first?

[Squares (Rodrigo Cuadros)]

AYE!!!

However, I don’t hold my breath about being soon…

[jstraughn]

I could be convinced to upgrade to v2 if this were to occur. Only then will it be worth it to reconfigure all my devices onto the new hub. AYE for me. As it sits right now, cloud is so broken, I don’t see upgrading in the near future. Is it even an upgrade right now? Or more a side load?
