I have a Zigbee lamp and a KlikaanKlikuit switch.
The lamp itself is called "Overloop lamp" and the switch is called "Overloop lamp slave"
I would like to have the state of both devices synchronized.
I use this script, and it works fine.

Code: Select all

return {

        active = true,
--      active = false,
        on = {
                devices = { "Overloop lamp slave", "Overloop lamp" }
        },

        execute = function(domoticz, mySwitch)
                if mySwitch.name == "Overloop lamp" then
                        if (mySwitch.state == 'On') then
                                domoticz.devices("Overloop lamp slave").switchOn().checkFirst().silent()
                        else
                                domoticz.devices("Overloop lamp slave").switchOff().checkFirst().silent()
                        end
                elseif mySwitch.name == "Overloop lamp slave" then
                        if (mySwitch.state == 'On') then
                                domoticz.devices("Overloop lamp").switchOn().checkFirst().silent()
                        else
                                domoticz.devices("Overloop lamp").switchOff().checkFirst().silent()
                        end
                end
        end
}

BUT!!! in the logging of Domoticz I see this. So the script is called more than once.
How can this be prevented / solved.

Looking at these lines in the log, it looks like RFXCOM generates two events when Overloop lamp slave is switched. If that is indeed the case dzVents will trigger the script twice. No way to prevent that.

Due to some strange reason Domoticz generated the events more then one time.
Because I clicked in Domoticz on the 'slave' button.
I restarted Domoticz and the problem is gone. Actually I had to restart Raspberry.
But I think that Domoticz was 'meshedup' and creating the problem.

What I noticed now, is that the logging in Domoticz in not in cronological order.
Just an observation.

And still there is a problem!!! Just 1 click and 3 times the script???
Not always the same problem, sometimes the script is running twice.

After some more testing it looks like the .silent() is not working properly.
After that is look like a racing condition.
Because the script get called several times.
Printing the .state of the devices give no result.

As time goes by results gets different.
It now seems that zigbee2mqtt has something to do with it.
I see in the zigbee logging

I have to check further.

It seems that zigbee2mqtt is the problem. I am out off options where to look for the solution.
Anybody any ideas???

It seems to be an expected behaviour from zigbee2mqtt, see https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/i ... -467094619
I still think that this should be minimized to 1 message.
