Check Scenes Running Script

Hi!

I have  a few scenes running all the time on my HC2. Or at least; they SHOULD be running all the time. 

But sometimes; my scenes fail and stop, for example when a certain http call returns an invalid json.

 

I tried a lot so solve all these issues (even removed all polling of data to external scripts instead of keeping them running in VDs) but still sometimes a scene fails and stops.

 

That's why I made a simple Scene to check if all important scenes which SHOULD run actually run. If not, they will be (re)started.

Just make sure this SceneChecker runs all the time.

logging will look like this:

[DEBUG] 11:04:54: Scene 'Zon Onder' is running
[DEBUG] 11:04:54: Scene 'Ochtend Avond Trigger Aan' is running

I think you can use 

 

local num = fibaro:countScenes()

 

to check if this is only running once ...

aNj: I don't get it; I already use that command to check if a scene is running...

Hi @doezel ,

 

I suggest that you add some data parsing to the returned json table and check what you get so can avoid scene to stop on error because returned data is not what code is expecting.

Here is example of parse function that checks josn table returned from Netatmo servers. Check is done up to third level of table (data.body.devices):

data in above example is variable that contains response from Netatmo server. Above function originally was recommended by @petergebruers

 

Here is a simple one that just checks response if it is expected json table:

In above example response contains received data, ok is true if received data is json string otherwise is false, and msg contains error message if there was error during decoding of response.

 

Still to be sure that some important scene is running or VD main loop is running you can use Watchdog scene written by Lazer from French Fibaro forum:
