Been a while folks. Its 2023 and ...perhaps you could offer some suggestions where I should browse some options for this....
We have OmniPro II systems we are retiring. While a bit quaint, the macro logic control within seemed fairly complete, sporting full If When Then Else And Or logic, with the accommodation of setting variables, being able to handoff to other macros, time awareness (specified, wait, count, etc), and many other awareness factors/features. I was able to achieve just about anything with it; sorry to see it go.
I have some systems migrated to RTI and/or Elk now, but those systems do not accommodate full-scoped (deep) logic control. Some clients are also opting for Savant and/or other seemingly very limited HA systems. I figured that, at least for RTI and ELk, adding some sort of simple PLC that can onboard input from ...sensors triggers, either directly or relayed from HA and/or Security and/or Surveillance systems,... and then I could process the logic and then output a result via a serial feed to an HA and/or Security system ...should be a simple order to fill.
I heard Ocelot project is fairly dead (unreliable now). Aside from an associate's input discussing py/c# based custom solutions I am just beginning to look at Xantech, ISY-99, Envoy, Yarp projects ...not really begun yet...
I am interested in, and look forward to, hearing any suggestions you may have before I go full rabbit hole on this.
Thank you.
