Hi,
I have been involved in one of IOT project, in which new z-wave device added to network will be added to database, and also control given to primary user.
Proposal goes like this:
1)PHP form with text box row-id range and block umer as input, once submit it,
2)connect to DB and form a query to select range
3)process the it , here more information required, what to process
4)there will be interval like predefined sleep time.
5)new UID provide will be inserted to DB.
And i agree what you said, like Will test with availalble test data with you, then accept it.
