someone who can help me out with a script

[delchrys]

hello all,

i have used domoticz for a while now, but i want to export my data to bidgely also.
i have found a script online and after some modifying it works now, but sometimes it halts.
when i look at the verbose output, i found out i have a socket timeout.
i guess my system is busy at the moment, getting or sending data to pvoutput, which is a other script that i am running.
but somehow i need some modifications in the script so that it retries after socket timeout. for now i can't see that a retry is used, but i have very little scripting skills only arduino programming.
is there someone who can help me with it?

kind regards,

bert

Does your script run in a loop?
Why not just execute once and execute it by cron?
That way, if it exits it'll just run again a minute later.

I borrowed this script from someone else because I can't script myself. So i wouldn't know how to make this script run once. It works but locks up sometimes.

I don't know Python very good, but this would be my guess:

In bidgely.py there's a "while 1:" loop wich runs forever. In another part of the code (domodata.py:58) there's a sleep of 10 seconds. The script runs every 10 seconds.
So, if you change the endless while 1 loop to a loop that runs 6 times and execute the script by cron every minute it should run forever.

Try this:
change bidgely.py line 106:

Code: Select all

		while 1:

to

Code: Select all

		for _ in " "*6:

And add the script to cron:
sudo crontab -e
* * * * * /path/to/script.py

Will try that thanks, do i have to change the sleep command also?

Edit: or the sleep uses 10 and the other lines makes it run 6 times. So this script will run 1 minute. And cron makes it run every minute.

Hmm for_in gives invalid syntax

Any other ideas

[Egregius]

Must be python version.
Google for python loop 6 times and you'll find other ways.
