After upgrade from 2022.2 to 2023.2 updateCounter stooped working on managed counter [SOLVED]

[imdos]

I have a few managed counters to calculate my GAS and Energy.

But they stopped updating the counters when I updated from 2022.2 to 2023.2.

Code: Select all

return {

        on = {
            -- timer = { 'every hour' }
             timer = { 'every 5 minutes' }
            --  timer = { 'every  minute' }
        },
        --[[logging = {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = "ytd"
        },]]--
        execute = function(dz, item)
        -- # Items uit de user variabelen
        local YTD_Gas_start = dz.variables("YTD-Gas-start").value

        local YTD_Hoog_start = dz.variables("YTD-Hoog-start").value
        local YTD_Hoog_T_start = dz.variables("YTD-Hoog-T-start").value
        -- # Uit de P1_meter
        local PowerT = dz.devices(1) -- Power
        local GasT = dz.devices(11) -- Gas
        local ElektraL = dz.devices(26)

        local ElektraGH = dz.devices(29)
        local ElektraTL = dz.devices(31)
        local ElektraTH = dz.devices(30)
        local Gas_current = dz.utils.round(tonumber(GasT.rawData[1]/1000))
        local YTD_Laag_current = dz.utils.round(tonumber(PowerT.rawData[1]/1000))
        local YTD_Laag_T_current = dz.utils.round(tonumber(PowerT.rawData[3]/1000))

        ElektraTL.updateCounter( (YTD_Laag_T_current - YTD_Laag_T_start)*1000) -- YTD_Laag_T
        ElektraH.updateCounter( ElektraGH.sValue - ElektraTH.sValue )

It seems 2023.2 has many issues related to managed counters. See earlier forum messages and issue list on github.

Those are fixed in latest beta and next stable release.

Hi,

I have the same issue here. None of my Managed counters seem to calculate anymore which I have been using to keep track of individual P1's.
Can I go back without loosing Data ? Or any other solution?

They are all marked with a "red" heading and have not been updated sinds the upgrade.

In Addition, in my log i constantly see:

MQTT: Problem updating sensor (check idx, hardware enabled)

But not sure what it is reffering to.

All help appreaciated.

Start with updating to latest beta as the known managed counter issues are solved in this version.
Be aware that latest beta has no OpenZwave support anymore so Zwave has to be migrated to Zwave-JS-UI.

I honestly think we should stop this advice to rolling into Beta version when a production version has problems.
Production should be a stable platform without issues and when it does have issues these should be fixed as Production, not being mixed with Beta changes.
Maybe the Devs should think about re-releasing the latest Production version when bugs are found by simply applying those PR's fixing these specific bugs into the production branch only.
Just my 2 cents!

Hi,

I do agree. So much for stable.
We use it to make sure we do not run into basis issues.
Looks like more like Devops than stable.

Anyway i’m running docker, which exact verstion do i need to pull because upon checking latest beta release is from 29th of november 2023 i recal.

@jdz it is what it is. I am not able to change it. The only way for this user to fix it now is to use beta or wait a couple of months for the next release.

Run the latest beta, it was already fixed early. If you run docker you could also setup a test environment and test there first.

My point is that you do not have any knowledge of what else could break for the user by giving this advice to go to a Beta version, so this needs to be given with caution, as sometimes the cure is worse than the decease.

Hi,

I just updated to the latest beta. I have always been using linuxserver.io docker builds so there was a bit of config work I had to do because that build is not maintained after 2023.2 stable.


Alls counters are working again, i noticed my camera snapshots are not working anymore.

I noticed that wget is not installed by default in the container, I installed it manually and my snapshots from the camera are back.
Is there a way to install this with a script so it automatically gets installed after container is updated?

Cheers,
Hemant

Yes in the official Domoticz docker container there is the custom startup script you can use.
