LSL Protocol/Restrained Love Open Relay Group/mode

mode

STATUS: proposal

version: 000

This extension is purely informational, allowing a controller to query the relay to obtain its operational mode.

Description

The controller sends the command !x-mode to the relay, which responds with its current operating mode.

Syntax

Controller: !x-mode

Relay: !x-mode,(ask,auto)/(none,black,white,blackwhite)

Usage

A device needs precise timing or multiple controllers in series to work, and requires different methods for Ask mode or Auto mode relays, for compatibility.

Notes

Some Relays have a "semi auto" or "playful" mode, which allows "=force" commands, but not restrictions. This should be considered "ask" unless there is significant reason to have a third identifier.

Relays that have "Landowner Trusted" as an option should also be considered "ask" mode if they ask permissions for non-trusted objects, since not all RLV devices may be Landowner's.
