This LUA Code Falls Asleep

[deanrparry 19]

The following works for a little while then stops? any idea why? driving me crazy!

--[[

%% properties

%% globals

Dean

--]]

tcpSocket = Net.FTcpSocket("192.168.0.11", 5555);

bytes, errorCode = tcpSocket:write("");

if errorCode == 0 then

if tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Dean")) == 1 then

fibaro:setGlobal("Dean", "1");

fibaro:log("Ping Successful");

fibaro:call(1304, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "Ping Successful");

end

else

if tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Dean")) == 0 then

fibaro:setGlobal("Dean", "0");

fibaro:log("Ping Failed");

fibaro:call(1304, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "Ping Failed");

end

end

tcpSocket:disconnect();

fibaro:sleep(10000);

Hi Dean,

Not sure the logic in the code makes sense.

What are you trying to achieve?

[deanrparry 19]

keep pinging device so if its in range popup a notification on xbmc... it works but just drops dead on me after a few minutes

it seems if i remove the 'if statement' so its pings regardless of previous value it just keeps working but of course this means hundreds of on screen prompts a day on my tv

scrap that stops even if i remove the 'if statement' and its not the phone as the log stops on hc2...

[robmac 173]

is this in a virtualdevice?

[deanrparry 19]

yes robmac

[robmac 173]

do you want it in a button or mainloop?

[deanrparry 19]

i used mainloop so it was refreshed automatically rather than using button plus scene made no sense...

interesting little thing i spotted... all the devices that fail to ping are still working but all the devices that successfully ping have died? no more :log notifications even on 10 sec loop devices like my tv / htpc etc... i wonder if the tcp("write") is junking something up?

[robmac 173]

try this based on Krikroff's code

it has some error handling see if you get errors use debug

don't think you want this bit

so all it does is set Dean to 0 or 1...? what next

[deanrparry 19]

that is it Robert... from there i have a scene that take the variable and if Dean = 1 then show prompt on screen "Dean has returned home" and a push notification to the wifes phone and if Dean = 0 then "Dean has left home" and a push notification to the wifes phone and if Dean = 0 and Wife = 0 then press Virtual Device button to Arm all devices

[robmac 173]

Nice

[deanrparry 19]

That code also stops just after Start Process... something is upsetting this! very odd... may just cut my losses on this its not code related i am sure even to a beginner like me it reads perfectly! old and new code!

[robmac 173]

old code had an error

if tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Dean")) == 1 then

fibaro:setGlobal("Dean", "1");

I think the sleep may be an issue

the loop is every 1s so sleeping for 10 may cause some fun

[ Added: 2013-09-28, 23:26 ]

I don't like main loop. Why not make it like a scene? This looping is a pain and adds nothing.

.Net not supported in scene is it?

[robmac 173]

no

but you can put the code i posted in a button and call it from an autostart scene with a while loop and sleep for a few minutes in each loop

you can call a few buttons from the scene so check for many devices
