clark21236 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Yesterday I had an issue where my Xmas light program did not run. I looked in the log file to see if I could figure out what happened. Here is what showed up in the log file. I am running 2.6.8 in my ISY. What you will see is that on the 19th the system shut down my XMas light scene. Then at 12:09 it ran into a time server issue, then who knows what happened.

Michel Kohanim Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Hello clark21236, The time server issue is not what bothers me. The problem was that your system was rebooted at 12:09 on 12/20: 0 null Sat 12/20/2008 12:09:24 AM System Start So, when ISY restarts and if you have not set ISY to run your program at startup, then your program will not run till the next time (perhaps next day) that it's scheduled. Now, my questions: 1. Did you have a power outage 2. Is that program enabled to be run at start up? With kind regards, Michel Yesterday I had an issue where my Xmas light program did not run. I looked in the log file to see if I could figure out what happened. Here is what showed up in the log file. I am running 2.6.8 in my ISY.

clark21236 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Posted December 21, 2008 Hello clark21236, So, when ISY restarts and if you have not set ISY to run your program at startup, then your program will not run till the next time (perhaps next day) that it's scheduled. Now, my questions: 1. Did you have a power outage 2. Is that program enabled to be run at start up? With kind regards, Michel Michel, I won't rule out a power outage, but I have no other signs in my house that it did occur. I guess the part that is hard to understand is this. If From Sunset To 10:00:00PM (same day) Then Set Scene 'XMas Lights' On Else Set Scene 'XMas Lights' Off If the ISY reboots at 9 minutes after midnight, shouldn't the code above run that same day? I don't understand why it would need to wait until the next day to run. As for run at start up, I don't have any of my programs set to do that. Maybe I need to be pointed to the right location to understand what that feature will do for me. Thanks for the help. Steve
Sub-Routine Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 If the ISY reboots at 9 minutes after midnight, shouldn't the code above run that same day? I don't understand why it would need to wait until the next day to run. Catch up at Restart (Configuration) has a few glitches this way. They were gone for a while but I think some are back. For now I have unchecked that option. After a power outage the lights should return to their previous levels, so if no schedules were missed nothing is wrong. Rand
Michel Kohanim Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Hello Steve, Then answer is NO. The problem is that time sensitive programs have to be re-evaluated at start-up explicitly. All this is due to the fact that most people did not want their schedules to run after each restart nor did they want ISY to catch up to schedules that were not run. So, what you have to do is: 1. For programs that are TIME only (like yours), please decide if you want to run them at start up ... you can do this in program summary 2. Please decide if you want ISY to catchup (run programs that may have been missed) ... you can do this in Configuration Tab under System 3. And, finally, what grace period ... you can do this in Configuration Tab under System With kind regards, Michel If From Sunset To 10:00:00PM (same day) Then Set Scene 'XMas Lights' On Else Set Scene 'XMas Lights' Off If the ISY reboots at 9 minutes after midnight, shouldn't the code above run that same day? I don't understand why it would need to wait until the next day to run. As for run at start up, I don't have any of my programs set to do that.
