# SmartLine \[smartline\]

This tubelib extension provides small and smart sensors, actors and controllers.

The most important and smart node of SmartLine is the SmartLine Controller, a 'computer' to control and monitor Tubelib based machines.
You don't need any programming skills, it is more like a configuration according to the "IF this THEN that" concept:

    IF <cond1> OR <cond2> THEN <action>
    IF <cond1> AND <cond2> THEN <action>
    
Examples for conditions are:
 - the Player Detector detects a player
 - a button is pressed
 - a node state is fault, blocked, standby,...
 - a timer is expired 

Examples for actions are:
 - switch on/off tubelib nodes, like lamps, door blocks, machines
 - send mail/chat messages to the owner
 - output a text message to the display
 - set timer variables 
 - set/reset flag variables

The mod comes with several new nodes, all in a smart and small housing:
 - a Player Detector, sending on/off commands to connected nodes
 - a Smart Button, sending on/off commands to connected nodes
 - a Display for text outputs of the controller
 - a Signal Tower, with green, amber, red lights to signal error/fault states
 - a Timer (derived from Tubelib Addons2), for daytime based actions
 - a Sequencer (derived from Tubelib Addons2), for time triggered actions (time in seconds)
