Web Thing API: Read-only and slow properties

Read-only properties are something we’ve been wanting to implement for a long time. We’ve been waiting for the W3C to settle on terminology, but it appears that they’ve now settled on writable. That is probably something we’ll try to pull into the 0.6 version of the gateway, as our 0.5 cycle is wrapping up soon. The relevant issue is here.

As for your other question, about the thermostat’s “slow properties”:

  1. I see TemperatureProperty as a read-only property giving the current temperature reading.
  2. TargetTemperatureProperty should be the thermostat’s set-point.

Neither of these values should be slow.
