Time-triggered scripts stop working after 2 days
Posted: Thursday 03 June 2021 12:42
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to solve this issue for few weeks now and really need your help and expertise
I'm running Domoticz version:
Version: 2020.2
Build Hash: b63341bc0
Compile Date: 2020-04-26 18:47:55
dzVents Version: 3.0.2
Python Version: 3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44) [GCC 8.3.0]
Some background:
I have a Holiday-switch, a sleep-scene that triggers a sleep-switch and according to those states the script should execute certain things different. This seems to work for all device-triggered events. Then according to e.g. holiday mode the script needs to execute a command with the for instance. That time-based event doesn't seem to work always.
Also i have a seperate script for daytime hours (defined by myself) and nighttime hours (also defined myself) with the rule:
When i save the script this seems to work like a charm, at least for one or two days, then suddenly it doesn't work anymore
I then programmed a small script to clear all queued commands for all those devices but this also doesn't seem to make any difference.
I reprogrammed the 2 scripts (Day and Night) with seperate if-statements for device and time-triggered events, this does makes sure that the right script executes at the right time, but the timed commands still only execute the first two days
I'm probably doing something wrong or these funtionalties only work with the newer dzVents version (I'm still running the old version, not ready to update to newest stable yet)
Here the Day script (the night-script works in the same way but different times);
I also see some message in the Debug log about a CONSTRUCTED TIME-based command where it seems to count down until the time that switch needs to trigger, that's why i thought about cancelling any queued commands. This script is doing that at 3:00 am every day;
Really hope someone can help me with this, it's driving me insane
