Virtual device main loop not executing

[stevenvd 51]

I am probably creating a loop that is failing somewhere and I am not seeing it. But I am having the following problem:

In the main loop of a virtual device I try to do a ping for a Lan device. If it fails the Device is offline. Else it is online. And I Turn on the receiver and change the Icon of the virtual device.

That all works great and the debug window is never showing any problems (not if the device is on or off). But when the Device actually changes state, The loop seems to stop running as the devices are not switched on or off. When I go to the virtual device, add or remove a space in the code and press "save". The code runs again.

Any Ideas?

It does not seem to make any difference....

I put the tcpSocket:disconnect(); before the if errorCode == 0 then. But still only works one time.

I pug in a fibaro:log(errorCode); with a sleep.

It runs until I shut down the device I am pinging. And I don't even get to see the errorcode...

Hi Stevenvd

Have a look to my post

Try the method with the pressbutton and the virtual device

Let me know if it works better

I believe that that would work! But I don't like it as a permanent solution, I mean isn't the Main loop made for this?

Still no luck though...

I agree with you but it is the only way I found to solve my problem

I don't have any error now with that solution..

so when I will have good feedback for main loop, I will use it
