LIFX Errors "Too many requests"

#1

I’m getting this error every few minutes:

My code is simple: to change colors between white and green:

Any clues?

Can you turn on full logging and post a sample of that leading up to the error?

Hmm, not quite enough there to venture a guess.

Can you grab a bit more? Maybe the last 5 events? I’m wondering how much time there is between piston executions.

The bulb is extremely far from the hub, if that makes any difference. It’s located outside near the sidewalk. Never loses connection, but does throw these errors. Maybe harmless? But I’m still curious.

#7

Harmless is entirely possible. If it’s working like you want, that’s 99.9% of the battle.

I’ve never seen that error so I can’t really offer more insight… I was interested in helping figure out what’s behind it though!

Distance is a good theory, though. Especially with it happening intermittently. Do you have other lifx bulbs that are nearer the hub and don’t have these errors?

#8

Yeah, I have others, but none are receiving colorchanges every 5 seconds. I’ll let sleeping dogs lie!

#9

ilifx allows 120 calls per minuteper token. i had a device handler calling too many times with bad group names causing it to try and resync constantly.

120 goes fast. i created one per lamp to fix
