Problem with timer since 2021.1 update [Solved]

[dlube]

Not sure that it's a dzvents problem...
At 00:30, depending on the water temperature I set the timer (API Json) of the switch (enocean) of the pump.
The steps are these ones:
- Clear the timer
- Add timer to start the pump
- Add timer to stop the pump

Before the last update of Domoticz my script was working fine.
Today, sometimes it works and sometimes I have only the timer to stop the pump or nothing.
There is nothing in the logs which show something wrong.
Do you have any idea of the source of the problem?

You refer to a possible problem in a dzVents script. To understand what could be the issue it would be helpful to see the script.

This simple script does not work all the time.

Code: Select all

domoticz.openURL({url = domoticz.settings['url']..'/json.htm?type=command&param=cleartimers&idx=001})
domoticz.openURL({url = domoticz.settings['url']..'/json.htm?type=command&param=addtimer&idx=001&active=true&timertype=3&hour=6&min=0&randomness=false&command=0&days=1234567'})
domoticz.openURL({url = domoticz.settings['url']..'/json.htm?type=command&param=addtimer&idx=001&active=true&timertype=3&hour=0&min=0&randomness=false&command=1&days=1234567'})

I have the feeling that each openURL are not done in this order.
Sometimes I have both timer 'On and 'Off', sometimes only the 'Off' and sometimes nothing.
However, the log file looks correct.
I'm currently testing a callback in the clearTimer URL and to execute 'On' and 'Off' settings in the HttpResponse.

This simple script does not work all the time.
I have the feeling that each openURL are not done in this order.

The order in which commands from Lua / dzVents script will be executed is not guaranteed.
Also: domoticz.openURL() commands are in recent versions executed in separate threads, making the execution order even more unpredictable.
What you could do to improve the predictability is using the .afterSec() option.

e.g.

Code: Select all

domoticz.openURL(domoticz.settings['url']..'/json.htm?type=command&param=cleartimers&idx=001')
domoticz.openURL(url = domoticz.settings['url']..'/json.htm?type=command&param=addtimer&idx=001&active=true&timertype=3&hour=6&min=0&randomness=false&command=0&days=1234567').afterSec(2)
domoticz.openURL(url = domoticz.settings['url']..'/json.htm?type=command&param=addtimer&idx=001&active=true&timertype=3&hour=0&min=0&randomness=false&command=1&days=1234567').afterSec(4)

It's important that the cleartimer is executed first.
This is the reason why I added a callBack which seems working fine.
Thank you
