Instruction WAIT with problems


#1

How is it possible that I can’t trust of this instruction ?
I have many examples in many pistons where I use this instruction but this is very unreliable, most of the time the timer gets stuck or is run late …
Do you have some advice ?


#2

If the timer is set to hourly, try 12 min after, or some other arbitrary number besides 0, or 30. Timers are currently cloud based, so the server gets hit extra hard at the cardinal points. (3, 6, 9, 12 on a clock)

An offset can often help with ST delays.

That being said, I have also found delayed times over the past couple of weeks. Typically a minute or two (on hourly timers), so nothing ultra critical. If I have a sequence of events that is programmed to take 2 minutes to process from top to bottom, it may take 2m 30s on occasion. Again, depending on network traffic.

OK, I’ll make some test, thank you …
