Exit command

xarmeid 3 years ago in bOS Configurator / Tasks updated 3 years ago 2

Hi everyone,

i was wondering when closing a programm in bOS server if exit command should be used. It works in both cases (with and without exit).

As it starts with a default Start command, an exit command at the end will free the allocated memory or is it not necessary?

Best regards,

Dropping connections

Michiel Kenis 3 years ago in bOS Configurator / Devices updated by Paul G 3 years ago 4

I have a series of Programs scheduled overnight, and it came to notice some of them did not ran due to connection errors. As they are depended on each other, connection-drops cause. When I take a closer look to the logs, I see a lot of my devices (if not all) periodically drop connection... I'm not so much worried about the Hue, SonnyBoy and Electricity monitor connections, but the KNX device which needs to reconnect every other minutes worries me... 


Is this a know issue? Or more network related? Or...? 


Thanks for your help.

Program between hours (timeframe)

Michiel Kenis 3 years ago in bOS Configurator / Tasks updated by Jürgen Jürgenson 3 years ago 1

Hi there, 

I'm trying to sync my Hue motion detectors and my KNX detectors. In order to do so, I need to turn on the lights differently depending on the hour. 

Between 08h and 22h, the light needs to be "Bright" and between 22h and 8h it needs to be "Dimmed". 

So I set up a program with specific "if" statements, but the script gets confused. I think I applied the wrong order or nesting... 

I have following config:

But I have several rogue scenarios where lights don't turn on (correctly). 

How can I "nest" if-clauses or even create an if-else statement?


Best, 

Michiel

Serialisation order when trigger is activated

Paul G 3 years ago in bOS Configurator updated 3 years ago 16

Hi,


We're facing some challenges on variable values due to the unknown approach BOS takes when executing programmes triggered by the same variable. It woudl be good to understand the approach to parallelisation and serialisation BOS follows


Let's say you have 5 programmes, A,B,C,D,E that are only executed when Sun changes position changes to "DAY". How does BOS decide which programme is executed first?  There is a first, the five programmes do not start in parallel at the same time, that is a fact based on the tests I have done which are proving the troublesome issued being faced. What I mean by the latter is that A might be halfway executed by the time E starts the execution, so if you have variables used as input of those 5 programmes then there is an issue if some of those variables are not yet updated for the reasons we're calling out.


Can the BOS team shed some light on how 

1) Execution order is decided at the time of triggering the trigger that activates the programme

2) How does BOS decides the order, is it alphabetical?

Hello all,

if bOS would be using serial / synchronous execution in drivers / tasks / themes, than nothing would work :) Of course bOS is handing every program task as async (multithreading) and the underlying OS is in charge for managing those threads and deploying CPU time to each individual thread. We also cannot talk in ms precision here (also I don't think it is required in HA) because of multiple factors:

- underlaying OS is not a Real Time OS

- protocols for HA are usually slow

- response time of physical devices

- ...


Anyway I also did some test and they were all executed without any delays. However this were just simple tasks to log message. In your case, there might be other issues in the individual task itself if it is more complex, if you are running other tasks from the original task... 

Of course there will be delays, but in general we did not receive any concerns about speed of execution so far from any of our customers. 

But as I mentioned earlier the delay is not always related to us, e.g. if you try to control 50 KNX lights at once you will see that they will not turn on at the same moment, because KNX TP speed is 9600 bit/s, which means it can transfer 20-40 packets per second, so the main bottle neck here is a speed of KNX bus and there is nothing we can do and in my opinion that is not even a issue. 

Best regards,

Date and Time capturing to pass on KNX bus

Paul G 3 years ago in Devices / KNX updated 3 years ago 7

There are a couple of similar posts, but none really hits the nail on the head as maybe I have a different problem. BOS server version latest 4.8.14 

The situation is very simple, I want to create three variables (date, time, timestamp) in BOS, which are then mapped or given the same addresses as KNX so BOS effectively populates the KNX addresses and issues the date and time to the KNX BUS. However, there are continues issues, despite several and lengthy testing performed

Current BOS variables created

Time, seems to be working fine

Date

  1. First problem, the value type, KNX 11.001, allows for the time, but the time value is actually not populated by BOS
  2. Second problem, if status address is populated in the BOS variable it creates problems for BOS and the date is no longer transmitted/populated
  3. Third problem, the associated KNX variable, spits errors, despite being the same value type

Timestamp, 

  1. First problem, the time is not populated, only the hour of the time is, minutes and seconds are not populated
  2. Second problem, the KNX variable is not populated, not a single field

Counter Log only shows and stores partial value (incremental)

Paul G 3 years ago in Devices / KNX updated 3 years ago 2

BoS: 4.8.14


KNX data point value

Counter log pointed to KNX data point value above

Why does the counter log only records the partial values and graphically displays the partial values as opposed to the real value of the KNX data point?

Graph properties - Legend Text as object value?

Calin Birtocean 3 years ago in bOS Configurator 0

Hey guys,

Would you consider please implementing for the Legend Text value for the Graph properties to be able to select it as an object value?

I am plotting the temperatures from different sensors. The name of the sensor can change at the sensor level and is available as a value to be used, however currently the Legend Text field doesn't support to select an object value.

 Thank you,

Calin

Jigsaw 4.8.14 (Mono version: 6.4.0.198-2 | KNX v2) Problems

Ricardo Pinto | visiontech pt 3 years ago in bOS Server updated 3 years ago 4

Hello,


I've updated my Jigsaw bOS version to 4.8.14 a few days ago, but today I've decided to update the Linux and KNX interface.

The Linux got the Mono upgraded from 5.20.1.19-1 version to version 6.4.0.198-2 and the KNX interface from v1 to v2.


The process ran without any problems, but right after that I've encountered some problems, even after reboot and reload:


  • Philips HUE API: I've had the API running for several months, using HTTPS commands, as stated on the API documentation. After today's Linux upgrade, it stopped working. I had to change to regular HTTP command rather than HTTPS. Don't understand why...
  • bOS RPC: I use the RPC for several things, and today it stopped working after the Linux upgrade. The funny thing, is that the local commands don't work. But I have IFTTT running some scenes remotely, and they work. So for me it doesn't make any sense... I have some local RPC command for testing, and they were working before this update.

Any advise?

I haven't checked yet other stuff I have configured, but I'm afraid to encounter more problems after this update.

Best regards

Switch On and Off lights depending on sunrise and sunset

Charis Garoufalias 3 years ago in bOS Configurator / Tasks updated by Ricardo Pinto | visiontech pt 3 years ago 3

Hello, I am new with Jigsaw.

I want to switch on some lights with Sunset and switch off them with Sunrise.I try with program tasks and with scenes but nothing. Probably something goes wrong with my programming.

The Latitude and the Longitude are correct.

Also I attach a foot of this

Can anyone help with this.

Thank you in advance.
