Washer and Dryer are done - sends SMS and activates Alexa push notification


#1

Hi All,

Any help on figuring out why there is a delay in this Piston sending out the SMS and Alexa push notification is appreciated. For the ‘Washer & Dryer are both done’ it is taking much longer than the 70 seconds for the washer and 1 minute for the dryer to be complete before the piston activates. It took 14 extra minutes today instead of the 70 seconds, for example, for the Piston to fire.

#1 is a lot is happening in a single piston
#2 please share your logs

The logs are filling up too quickly to get enough of the important info to show as the dryer constantly fluctuates between 0 watts and 3 watts triggering some of the if statements to run . Some of the impt log info ends up truncating off at the bottom of the log fairly quickly.

Which just got me thinking to add some ‘only when’ statements at the top of the If/then’s so the if/then’s and resulting time wake ups for the piston are not constantly running when small wattage changes occur.

So thank you for getting me to think a bit more about it :slight_smile:
