[Solved] DynamicGroupController updating members issue

[Tarkus]

Yes I understand, just trying to wrap this up before I start my work day.

Just to add if you are using android and termux, you do not need to do this via command line. you can use a file explorer to extract the download file, and to move the config file. you can also edit the the yml file. I use x-plorer app.
The only thing that needs to be done via command line is to run the app.
[edit] your android device would need to be rooted to do this though. location of reactor files /data/data/com.termux/files/home/reactor

@elcid good to know. I have the x-plorer app. Thanks

Ohh Android! like my oven... You can then also install an SSH server app so you can login to it from telnet/terminal and run everything from the command line. That's the other extreme.

[Elcid]

I think x-plorer has ssh capabilities, not sure is it acts a ssh server though. But termux probably does have an ssh addon

@toggledbits, is the "configuration by yaml" a temporary measure, or permanent? I'm asking because I know by own experience that command line and text editing with it's need for precision is something that drives some to find other solutions. Especially apps that actually has a GUI.
Think thats why i went for Vera instead of HA or openHAB back in the day..

[Tarkus]

Ok, install complete. Was able to access MSR via browser. Thanks for the help!

Configuration by YAML is likely here to stay, but will not be the primary way of handling configuration. A "Settings" subsystem/UI is planned.

[rafale77]

Yeah... not in love with YAML myself thought I have gotten quite familiar with it since using homeassistant. I guess the plan is to keep the lower level system configuration in YAML (things like server ports and library paths) and move the client configs in a GUI?

@Elcid, I just looked at my oven and indeed I am running an app called "SSH server" on it which was required for me to login to it remotely.

I also dislike YAML, but it's a compromise. Originally, everything was JSON, but the syntax is too detailed and too strict for the average user to consistently get right in editing, and it's harder to read. I went to YAML to ease some of those issues, but any of the config files can be either in JSON or YAML, it treats them equally. I could also go to an INI style, or an even flatter "controllers.vera.source=..." style, and support that as well. It really doesn't matter. I just grabbed what's handy.
