hello,

just an idea to do: I have a flag outside with a light spot on. Idea change the light bulb into hue color.

If switched on changing every 5 minutes the color

How to do?

With my knowledge I will fill an a3 paper with rules guess it should be able to short it

I used the wait but that is not give the good result

Rule.eval("@20:27  =>  woonkamer.lampplafondklokzijde:on ; wait(00:00:15) ; woonkamer.lampplafondklokzijde:value={bri=125, hue=50, sat=0, transitiontime=2, col=75} ,wait(00:00:15) ; woonkamer.lampplafondklokzijde:value={bri=125, hue=50, sat=62, transitiontime=2, col=150} ; wait(00:00:15) ; woonkamer.lampplafondklokzijde:value={bri=125, hue=50, sat=124, transitiontime=2, col=75}; wait(00:00:15) ; woonkamer.lampplafondklokzijde:value={bri=125, hue=50, sat=186, transitiontime=2, col=75} ; wait(00:00:15) ; woonkamer.lampplafondklokzijde:value={bri=125, hue=50, sat=255, transitiontime=2, col=75}")

Or do I overload HC2, supervisor or all?
Please advice

 

OK, this is how I would do it. You can have any number of color parameters in the table and it will cycle through them.

Hello Jan,

Any idea to lower the load on HC2?

Any particular scene that makes the load rise? I could take a look at that scene and see if there is something strange.

It depends on the scene and even with ER it's possible to overload the system.

[Sjakie 156]

Hello Jan,

I am just finished to clean the HC2. I was concentrating on the scenes but I found in devices also some heavy crap.

I am watching the graphic for over 16 minutes and I hope the picture is okay now?

The scene living room has a hugh load because of 3 power triggers>> all disabled

But why Supervisor is still skipping 1-2 minutes?

Some VDs can cause load, I'm unsure why, something with the main loop I guess.

Instead of having power triggers in the scene header you can add this code to the ER main()

Please login or register to see this code.

It defines a function 'watchProperty' that polls a list of devices for a specific property value and if the values have changed more than 'threshold' it will post a "fake" event of that type. ER rules can't tell the difference and will trigger on the posts like a regular scene trigger. The advantage is that you can poll at a slower intervall for values that are not important to trigger on the second. In the example, we watch two deviceIDs if the 'power' property changes more than 20, and we do it every 5s. If it's not so important to get the trigger immediately you can increase the interval to 10s. In any case it will load the scene much less than to have scene power triggers in some cases.

 

What do you mean by Supervisor "skipping" 1-2 minutes? 

[Sjakie 156]

It jumps from 11.01.26 to 11.02.31

sometimes it is almost 2 minutes freeze?

I blanked out those power rules temporary

and what is POLLINTERVAL ?

 

[Sjakie 156]

  local POLLINTERVAL = "+/00:05"    -- poll every 3 minute
  local PINGTIMEOUT = "+/00:02:00"  -- No answer in 10s, scene will be restarted
  local STARTUPDELAY = "+/00:00:40" -- Time for scene to startup after a restart before pinging starts again
  local MAXRESTARTS = 2             -- Number of failed restarts before disabling the scene

 

all scenes are still running since 8.00

 

so a bigg step forward

Is this a normal behaviour?

The two peaks?

[jgab 2,642]

Supervisor is pinging each scene every 5min with your value for POLLINTERVAL, and depending on how fast they answer back the interval that Supervisor wakes up and ping will vary a bit. Sleep periods of 2min is not exceptional. I would expect that after some time it would be more evenly distributed, 

What you should try to check in the log is if Supervisor pings a particular scene every 5min (+ reponse time from scene) (in this case) or if that is also  drifting and becoming longer intervals.

I have seen those peaks myself.

Can you see if it is a particular scene or VD that causes the peaks? (try to disable and watch the cpu curve).

I have the feeling that sometimes it's not the scenes but other "housekeeping" stuff that the HC2 box is doing.

Temporary peaks are usually not a problem.

[Sjakie 156]

Hello Jan,

The only VD's I have is the:

Hue from Sankotronic

Sonos

Sonos Krikroff

Battery check

Door/window check >>>>will remove

Calendar Google

10 scenes GV

All other scenes on manual

Let me add first your power proposition

If okay I will pm you one of the two scenes who are sometimes restarting by supervisor

No, it fetches data every 30min, and when it starts up. 

I have pushed a new version of iCal.lua (B2) with some more debugs.

At the end of main() there is the lines

Please login or register to see this code.

uncomment and add your URLs and run in emulator to see what happens.

Probably should add a forceUpdate command.

Is it an iCloud url?

Does it have the format " "webcal://p64-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/MTGHKJLJPJPJKL:LKJOHGJKJLFrjxFq9NvCD"

It fails in the emulator too?

[jompa68 121]

Not at home right now, cannot test that before monday night.

Update

can run "offline" and no errors in emu

Ok, it seems like "checkCertificate = false" in httpRequest disappeared from the iCal I pushed to GitHub. I pushed a new version. Try that.

[jompa68 121]

Success
