Thanks Eric.? My initial search did not return your version.? Looks good, I'll give it a try.

I think that is a function of SIMPL that we can't get around.? You could change the default application for .usp files.? At least with that, if you double-click on the file in explorer, it will open in VS code.?

Thanks so much for this.? While I'm a bit of a curmudgeon? I made the change you outlined below and I'll give it a try. ?

Thanks again

Jay

In playing with it some more, you can modify the extension to compile in 4 series.

Locate extension.js and edit with a text editor:
C:\Users\[your username]\.vscode\extensions\mwgustin.crestron-simpl-plus-1.3.0\out\extension.js

on lines 76 and 91 at the end where it says series3, add series4 and save.? Reload VS code and compile your project.? In the terminal window, it should show seires3 and series4 compiling.
i.e.:
76: processSimpl("\\target series3 series4");
91: term.sendText(compiler.buildCommand("\\target series3 series4"));

There is a plug-in for VS code for SIMPL+.? I have not played with it much, but it seems to work.? I typically have VS code open for other things anyway.? It appears to only have compiling for 3 series with ctrl+F12.? Just compile it once for 3-series then click on the terminal tab.? Push up to repeat last command and change the last line from series3 to series4 and hit enter.? (or add series4 if you want it for both)? This will compile for 4 series.? To recompile, just do up again and hit enter.?

Thanks for the interesting article.

I faced this question in practice with the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Russia and the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Literally from the first day, almost all objects had to be added Light Masking mode.
Later - to solve the issue of constant long-term failures in the electricity supply. We had to work out the procedure for maximum energy saving while the house is powered by batteries. We have been using the input voltage control relay for a long time - this is Ukraine, there are problems with power quality here.

We have been building a local network independently for 10 years, so this system did not cause any problems. Local network and router backup has been done for a long time. With the beginning of the war, we began to reserve the Internet channel as well (we started another public provider or use Starlink).

A long time ago, I developed a system for remote access to objects that do not have an external routable IP address.

I had to add a notification module to Telegram (this is such a widespread messenger in our region). With the help of notifications in a special chat, I understand exactly what is happening at the object, and special commands through the same chat give me the opportunity to launch certain processes.

We also encountered water reservation in practice. The most interesting case is the installation of a flow storage for water in a city apartment.

I can tell many interesting cases from practice :)
