        <description><![CDATA[This is pretty easy to reproduce with the help of RequestBin (<a href="http://requestb.in/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://requestb.in/</a>), an online webhook tool.  <br /><br />I made a temp RequestBin and checked out what happens if I close my magswitch.<br /><br />HTTP request:  <a href="http://requestb.in/wzhrtkwz?o=[orientation]&amp;t=[temperature]&amp;m=[open/closed]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://requestb.in/wzhrtkwz?o=[orientation]&amp;t=[temperature]&amp;m=[open/closed]</a><br /><br />Actual request result:<br /><br />m	[open/closed]<br />o	bottom<br />t	76<br /><br />Notice that the "m" value is literally [open/closed].   It should be either open or closed!]]>

        <description><![CDATA[When I click the "test URL" button, only the first rule (out of the six created, one for each side) reacts and shows the clicked state. It also doesn't seem to actually fire, since I can't see anything in my server logs.<br /><br />Does anyone else see this behavior?]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I'd really love to collect stats so I could graph the results.  Was thinking the easiest would be to use the gate switch with the temperature sensor to track how many times my dog goes in &amp; out of his dog door &amp; what the temperature is when he does so.  Then I could track to see if there's an increase/decrease of activity to temp.  Thoughts on how I can collect?]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Seems like a basic question, but how do I retrieve the current reading (temperature in my case)?  I know the device is setup to post its value to your webservers (webservices).  Is there a simple URL to retrieve that value?  Is the twine running a webserver itself?]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Just got my Twine pack and have played around a little bit. I initially started with the moisture sensor and created a rule to send a SMS when it's wet. That worked well so I decided to try the magnetic switch. When I plugged that in my status page correctly reflected the magnetic switch but when I tested it with the magnet it sent a SMS for each detection so it appears that the rules are tied to the sensors but I think they should be so is this a bug?]]>
