Piston rescheduling not for 15 minutes but 13 hours

FalconerHG · 2018-07-12 17:11:44 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
Piston is set to trigger every 15 minutes but is scheduled somewhere 13 hours away when it triggers.

Update: Reading the logs again (takes some time to absorb all that data), it seems the piston actually fired every 15 minutes today, but it’s only switching on the airco once per day. Once it’s been switched off, it will not come on again until the next day. Maybe the scheduled time in the second screenshot is misleading and I have another issue?

2) What is the expected behavior?
Between 08:00 and 22:00, I expected the piston to fire and reschedule itself every 15 minutes.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Even within the set timeframe, the piston will fire (usually once) and then reschedule itself top many hours into the future. In the screenshot, it rescheduled for 13 hours and 15 minutes.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)

You don’t have anything in the “else” section, so the piston won’t do anything when your condition evaluates false. The way your log reads:

T=0m - Condition evaluates false - no action taken by piston
T=15m - Condition evaluates true - cooling point set to 20
From this point, your piston can only do one of two things:

Take no action if the condition evaluates false
Take the same action (or, in other words, no action) if the condition evaluates true again

So you’re only seeing a change the first time it runs and evaluates true.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense.

Going to make some changes.

I am not sure if this applies to your case or not, but this line stands out to me:

I have a piston similiar, set to run each hour at 57 minutes past the hour… The strange thing is, if I edit that piston at noon, once I save it, it will be “Next scheduled” to run at 1:57… (117 minutes later!) It basically ignores the current hour immediately after the piston is saved. From my observations, after that first run, it stays on track for me. (until I edit it again, LOL)

What this means for you is, if you ever edit the piston in the 8am or 10pm hour, it will NOT be scheduled to run until 10-14 hours later. From that point onwards, it should work as expected (until you edit again )

Note about AC commands:
I am not familiar with Airco, but some companies require an “On” command to turn on (as opposed to just changing the temp). It might not be it, but it’s easy to test

FalconerHG · 2018-07-15 09:42:59 UTC

Yeah that seems to be part of the problem - edit and suddenly it schedules much later.

I still haven’t figured it out though.

WCmore · 2018-07-15 18:47:35 UTC

Well, if it is any consolation, I have a couple of pistons that I can only test once a day… Long story short, it took over a week (maybe 10 edits) until I was happy with the piston.

(at least with yours, you can test twice a day, LOL)

Have you tried adding the Turn On AC command to your code yet?

FalconerHG · 2018-07-15 20:01:09 UTC

That’s just terrible, though a bit funny. I wonder why Webcore behaves this way…

I did, made no difference. In my original setup (the one in my OP) it fires once without needing the “switch on” to be added. Adding in an “else” did not help either (basically a “no operation”).

I’ve split the actions from the conditions, did not do anything either.

I feel it’s the scheduling that is either not working correctly in Webcore, or I totally misunderstand (in which case it could do with some explanation - can’t find any tutorial).

Can you make a new post below with your latest green snapshot so we can see where you are at currently?
