EventRunner 6/7

[Sjakie 156]

Jan,

All QA's on ER6, ER5 QA's are deleted.

Need to concentrate to smooth the actions off the HC3 and implementing YahueV2.

Can't tell if it works okay due to HC3 shut off last night some external power problem in the media.

All errors almost tackled.

For convenience perhaps the orange marking in debug back  if QA is started.

The error reporting is magnificent! 

At this moment there is not too much movement at the apartment, is this the cause of low load on the HC3 but I see:

processor usage very low has never been on that level, basic 15% regular peeks 30%  incidental 60% and before basic 30-40% peeks 80%

Memory seems almost the same as  before start level 42% instead of 48%

I hope it will return the not used buffer back to the system instead of consuming it.

If no interference from me I need to restart at max 450 hours because off drastic delay execution.

So proficiat with your Eventrunner6!!

Will come back to solve a few more errors  who are blocked at the moment

In v0.0.28 we can speed up time...

Please login or register to see this code.

This rule sets up an Earth Hour logic, turning off some lights, waiting an hour then turning them back on the state they had.
When the script starts it posts event for the coming earth hour dates.
We also create a FakeLamp property class, so we can test the logic, turning on/off saving state etc, without having to flicker real lights in the house.
The FakeLamps behave like devices and we can use the same :property functions to control them.

So, the logic works, how can we be sure it's triggering correctly?
Well, we can run the ER engine in speed time. ER intercepts all setTimeout and setInterval and speed through them, updating the simulated time.
To run with speed we do

er.speed(hours) will run the emulator in speed for the hours specified.
To be sure we reach earth hour in March next year we speed for 250 days...
The log:

...and it behaves as we expected.
The reason we use fake devices instead of real devices is of course also that the lights would flicker as we would turn on/off the lights rapidly...
The log is from the HC3, and we have the real time followed by the simulated time, before the log.
So we run some 6 months in 1 second

no i logged them out, they both are defined..

I will change the approach i thinkl..dont want to waste your time for hunting this down...thanks

Have you considered developing on a pc/mac ? Eventrunner runs well in Plua

I think I fixed the "timeout after inf" bug in v0.0.29

 

However, the second error doesn't seem to be linked to the rule you show?
The error is about
$Bezetting_Keuken.Vrij == ...
and it returns nil?
Do you have a Rule 147 with that statement?

[Sjakie 156]

Jan, thanks I am happy it's a bug because all QA's except arming does't do what they should do.

 

attempt to index a nil value (local 'v'): eq ["gvar","Bezetting_Keuken"] ["const","Vrij"] (disabling)

THAT's a BUG! Thanks, fixed in v0.0.30. It crashed because $Bezetting_Keuken is not defined or returns nil. IT shouldn't crash and the test should return false.

Score: 2-1 to me  
Seriously, I really appreciate that you struggle with this - we detect errors that would have passed by unnoticed. 👍

Jan, you are very welcome happy to do something back!.

I will keep ER6 running and with your help it will come to a good end.

probally due to many "hidden" errors in ER5 it's a kind of mess now. Unfortuanally we have a grandchild in to stay a few days so I am a bit limited

No, that's fortunate - grandchildren  

What you could do is PM me some QAs with rules (no sensitive credentials?) and I could have a look at it. Your massive scenes are really a test for EventRunner and has always been  
So, I work while you play with the grandchildren.

This little ER QA, generates rules, 1000 rules, that looks like below

Please login or register to see this code.

So it flips a triggervar 'x' to run 1000 rules and time it. 
So, we get the time it takes to run 1000 rules from a trigger.

Please login or register to see this code.

0.1 - 0.2 ms for 1001 rules to get triggered by an event and run - pretty ok on a HC3. Now they don't do that much work in this case but it tells something about the efficiency of the event/triggering mechanism.
Because rules never run until an event is seen that is relevant for the rule, we can really have thousands of rules.
Note, while this test was running I had an average of 20% cpu across the cores (and then I'm running all the other stuff), with spikes of ~50% every second on one of the cores. Probably when the trigger run, as the peaks disappear when I stop the QA.

and I had to test on ER5.
I only auto created 100 rules. To run them all (actually 101) took on average 1 sec.

Please login or register to see this code.

Extrapolating we get that ER6 is about 66x faster  
Note, I got an around 70-80% cpu while it run, that came down when I stopped the QA.

ER6 has a new builtin function

that returns the epoch time (os.time()) of the next daylight time saving.

It can make sense to setup a rule like

This because rules like

will be off an hour at DST day. The reason is that the time is calculated every midnight, and this is calculated as 15*3600 seconds after midnight. But at DST the real 15:00 jumps an hour forward or backward. It actually goes for all setTimeout set by the system, if the delay is calculated to run on an absolute time.
So, the simplest approach is to just restart the QA at DST. All rules start up again and all timers are set with the new right time...

Hi @jgab 
Amazing to read that Eventrunner 6 is about x66 times faster then the event 5 version!

What is it making the diffrence if I may ask? 🤔

 

And how is the "eventlib" I am inn Love with is buildt compared to eventrunner 5 and 6?
