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)
