[LUA script] autostart not fetch data from HTTPClient request https

I have a script that graps rain data from the Dutch Buienrader website. When I start it by hand it works perfectly but when autostart runs it, no error no data.

Debug log shows on autostart only:

Hi @RoyOps, did you check the Buienradar topic?

 

There is a working VD and script for the HC2

I bet you did not expect this... Otherwise you would not post here... but here is your problem:

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

Because of that infinite loop, the main part of the scene "never ends". And httpClient can only run when main finishes. Which it never does so neither "error" nor "success" parts of your code get called.

 

When you run the scene manually, there is no infinite loop, htpp call proceeds and the "success" function runs.

 

Solution: move the sleep and checkRain() call to the end of the function assigned to the "success" part of the http call. And probably also to the "error" part of the call or you'll never retry after one error.

 

It is similar to setTimeout
