New C-7 bricked (nope, just lost, now found) But still doing weird stuff [Resolved]

1

So, got a new C-7 and have been active the last couple weeks trying to move things over slowly.

So far so good, till this morning when doing a double-tap on a button controller broke our world. The button was double tapped once, then we started seeing lights associated with the rule not responding as expected. Looking into the logs about a half hour later the following loop was scrolling faster than I could read. Managed to copy a bit of if. Could not figure out how to stop the madness so initiated a reboot after pulling the batteries from the button controller to see if that had fried. Hub hasn't been seen since (1/2hr). Any idea what to do now? And no, port 8081 does nothing.
Here's the sort-of-repeating loop from the log:

What do you mean by "it does nothing". Can you reach the hub on port 8081?

3

"This site can't be reached"...

4

What color if any is the LED on the hub?

5

green

6

Have you tried unplugging the hub for 1 minute,then plugging it back in?

7

OK, it's back... somehow it decided to DHCP an IP address instead of the one I gave it.
So now it's up and I've reserved the DHCP ip in case it does that again.

Now, onto the problem that caused the show.... Any ideas based on the log?

8

What app are you using to convert the button press into actions? Eg a rule or button controler

9

Yes, your Z-Wave radio was receiving a lot of events in short period of time and couldn't process them before new ones were coming in, so the Z-Wave Queue was maxed out. Next release will address this, but meanwhile if you could limit the events that are generated, it will prevent the Queue to be overloaded.

10

Was just in the process of grabbing a screen :grinning:
I see @bobbyD's response to the 'lot of events', but I don't know what 'alot' is, so Here's the rule, it's linked to a button controller app that flips the associated switch... 'pushed'=Sw:on,' 'doubletap'=Sw:off. The "bedroom cozy blinds" references a group made in groups and scenes... I changed it from listing all the blinds because I was having bad results sending single commands to the blinds. There are 6 blinds in the group.

Given the rule, I'm not sure what lot of events would come from it in the back-end. I'm aware you guys are trying to sort out a few issues with the C-7 zwave.... Any advice on how to restructure this rule to be gentle on the C-7?

12

If you have changed the rule can't really help with what was swamping the system. It looks ok as it is
What does on cozy blinds trigger?

I'd just work through the logic of what you are trying to do animate sure nothing is looping

Mabey remove so devices from the rule and add them back in one at a time after checking

13

The change I'm talking about is from a day or so ago... long before the snafu.
Here's the group def:

Is not the rule, and is unlikely that the problem is with one device. I have seen the queue getting full in systems running several power reporting devices that generate an event every few milliseconds.

15

I've worked pretty hard to minimize reporting as part of porting over from the dying C-4... wish there was an easy way (not aware of one) to configure reporting from within HE other than trying to find parameters from manufacturers to do so. I think I'm limiting that reporting for the very few such devices..

16

What does bedroom zone off do? A lot?
You could add a 30sec delay between devices/groups to give it a chance

17

Bedroom Zone is a Yamaha amp zone using the ex-community yamaha driver. So that line simply sends a switch:off I believe.

18

Dose the off/on blinds switch (edit, the group) work OK on its own?
If so I'd add a delay in the rule for the blinds, let it do the lights,amp,etc then operate the blinds

19

No, the blinds is a crap-shoot. Sometimes they work, sometimes only one or two work, sometimes the rest will do what they're supposed to 5 minutes later. Unreliable at best. Here's that thread in case it shed light. And thanks a bunch for taking the time to review this, much appreciated.

20

Are you sure that you don't have a weak Zwave mesh? That might explain why the blinds are intermittently working, and why the stuff happened like it did this AM.

Maybe briefly list your Zwave devices so we might get an idea of if this could be the case.
