Scene crashes periodically

[redsave 6]

I have a scene that crashes regularly at random times.

The scene is the following:

the scene randomly crashes with this as output:

You can see here it crashed multiple times, because I have another scene that checkes if this scene is running and restartes the scene.

I am certain that my scene does not contain strange characters.

Hi @redsave,

 

First try to reboot HC. If that doesn't help then delete scene and recreate it. 

 

But I'm curious why this scene is endlessly looping and executing every second when can be triggered by sceneActivation? Something like this:

Because if the alarm is running then the scene cannot start (I can only prevent the alarm from stop the scene, I can't run the scene with sceneActivation. By the way, oh Fibaro why you do this?).

With this trick I can use a remote control to disarm the alarm, using SceneActivation, even if the alarm is running.

So ticking option Do not allow alarm to stop scene while alarm is running doesn't help?

The last time I tried to run this scene, during alarm, using the SceneActivation trigger it failed to run even with that ticked. I don't know if something changed in the meanwhile. Maybe I'll try again.

to be clear: the tick works, so this scene is not stopped by the alarm. But if the alarm runs before the scene starts, the scene is not starting when pressing a button of the remote control.

I have to check that too. I didn't use alarm for some time, but I have one scene that is triggered when alarm is breached and that scene sends push and e-mail notifications and also popup notification with two buttons of which one runs scene to disarm alarm and looks like this:

That was working splendid.

Yes from phone it works pretty well, but I have two elderly persons at home and even the remote control with 4 buttons is kinda difficult to use for them, let alone the smartphone   So I'm forced to use this trick.

I will upgrade my alarm system with new scenes and VDs and when I do that will share here.

 

Regarding that error in scenes, I had them just few times since I have only one scene looping endlessly and then rebooting HC helped and once I just restarted scene. This is interesting error but for now there is no any explanation why is happening occasionally.

Regardless if this is the best way or not I can see no reason for the error getting thrown.  

 

Only thing I can think to try. Change language? see if this is odd to your language setting?

 

unless you are managing to abort a scene with setTimeout active. I have seen that cause issues.

I only use Fibaro in English.

that rules that out

No abort, this scene should run endlessly and it's not triggered by something.

[robmac 173]

can see that..

 

mad ideas

1. another global variable name or contents has a bad char and fibrao code hits this when accessing your global vaiables used in this code
2. another property has a bad value and even though you are not accessing it fibaro code hits it

 

use the api to pull the json and see if you can spot anything

I just twigged that my fibaro button scene activation was not able to run with the alarm on, some poor person just came into my house and set the alarm off, only to find my "hidden" fibaro button disarm wasn't working!

when you use "Magic" to create scene activations on the button, it hides the actual SCENE it creates, I unhid it and ticked the box.. all is well now..

 

look forward to a slightly better version when @Sankotronic gets a few hours free!

 So are you able to run the scene using SceneActivation if alarm is running after ticking the box?

yep.. now when the Fibaro Alarm goes off, it runs scenes to set sirens off, and push messages out, and if I activate the disarm with fibaro button it shuts up

tried and tested... I just didn't realise when creating the button presses it was secretly making little hidden scenes...

well, great news! I will try this. Maybe they "fixed" something when they produced The Button...

It's the same when you are creating a block scene, "under the hood" is always a Lua Scene!
