Now I know mymsgbranch has been changed up a bit I do not know what has been changed.
It would be nice to know a few things.
The limitations on the amount of & data to append it used to be no more than two & appended data per line I believe it was.
Also the syntax and any changes. Using commas instead of spaces or other issues one might run into on 3.0 vs 2.0!
Would be nice to see a more complex example that would address all questions about limitations and syntax to see if their have been any major changes as I am looking to possibly update one of my devices from 2.x to 3.x branch here and change from buttons to using a branch to handle functionality. I love the fact that wifi station and AP no longer are by default in a dual mode this should eliminate conflicts.
The device I want to update on 2.x is doing rather poorly while I believe it may be related to the power supply it may be a conflict with AP/Station being enabled. This device is my latest device to my smart home venture an arctic king AC unit ... These AC units are super quiet well built and feature something called auto restart. Why this is important is we can cut the power to the unit and once power is restored the AC unit will turn back on and start cooling at the previous settings it was cooling at so in the case of a power outage the AC resumes cooling when power is restored!
Why this is important is that we can use this to our advantage no need to decode IR or hack apart the AC and you can setup to turn on and start cooling remotely with a simple relay! And the other nice thing is these AC units are available at your local walmart. Doing this setup will pay for itself over time in the amount of electricity you save by not letting your window unit cool all day long. A rather simple proposition if you ask me if it is 90 degrees outside and you want to have your home cooled after a long day of work at a hot shop you can simply pull out your phone and turn your AC on during your lunch break which should give you ample time to cool your home to a comfortable level.
So a reason for the need of the example.
