Ok, I know this is silly, but I keep having to remind myself of what
agent.on() or device.on() does.
Maybe a more descriptive name:
agent.onEvent(“EventName”, function(msg){
});
agent.send is ok, although maybe agent.sendEvent(“EventName”, payload) would be more consistent.
Thoughts? I keep thinking device.on() was to check if a device was on.
Me too, I think going forward we might not be in a minority.
Also you can use imp.wakeup() in an Agent, I’m sure will cause more confusion.
The intention was that the first parameter is read as part of the name:
device.on("overheat",...)
is the “on overheat” event-handler.

Yeah, I agree that part is neat, but tough to remember. That being said, we use it enough, and it will all click.
A little auto-complete might go a long way here, I guess.
