hart2hart Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 @Goose66 Does the Bond NS use MQTT as I appear to be having issues with the Bond Node Server controlling ceiling fans since this upgrade. I turn them on and off and it appears to have an issue if I turn it on and then turn it off quickly or vice versa as it starts ignoring the updates for some time. Als, I tagged @bmercier in the PG3X 3.2.20 support thread. I've done all the usual restart reboot etc with exact same results. Quote Link to comment
Goose66 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Bond Plugin does not use MQTT. It uses TCP sockets to communicate with the Bond bridge. Let's see how other issues with 3.2.20 settle and then we can debug any Bond Plugin issues. Edited March 14 by Goose66 Quote Link to comment

The response for mixed scenes with Insteon switch controlling a fan and fan light no longer works more than 1 in 10-20 times. I've removed them from scenes and added them back. Will await your feedback. Quote Link to comment
Goose66 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Got your log files. At first blush it looks like your Bond Bridge is periodically disconnecting. I will have to circle back into the code and see how long it waits to retry. A couple of questions: - did you recently update the firmware on your Bond Bridge? What version firmware are you running? - what is with all the on then off within a couple of seconds? Appears to have happened many times. Is this normal usage or are you stress testing to tease out the problem(s)? I can tell you that plugins generally have problems with sequence of actions requiring sub-second latency, and the more plugins you have, the worst that the latency can be. Quote Link to comment

I noticed the issues day before yesterday and didn't have time to look into it until this morning. As part of that, I saw the Bond Bridge had a firmware update pending so I installed it thinking it might be part of the issue. Version is v3.21.6. The off and on more rapid on off sequences were me stress testing looking to isolate the issues. I was turning off and on from insteon dimmer, switch and from the AC with control of Bond device and through the scene. By disconnecting are you seeing it leave the WiFi network? I have multiple access points and most access is accomplished through same SSID on all of them. However, for HA devices, I have specific SSIDs on each AP so I can know where they are connecting for issues like this. I updated it to another SSID and hence AP to see if that helps. What do you know... Results look very good so it could be a coincidence with the PG3x release but I'm in the office many times a day and it started Tuesday after the upgrade. Maybe Bond was on the verge of issue and something minor pushed it over the edge. I'll try to remember to update all again tomorrow. As always, thank you for excellent support Goose66.

Goose66 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Let me know what you find. And if you are still having troubles, please turn on Debug-level logging and send new log files. The Bond Plugin is due some love and if we can find out exactly what's going on here maybe we can get some stability changes in the next release. Quote Link to comment

Thank you, @Goose66, and as always you are right about the timing issue. When I walk into the room and turn on the ceiling fan light via insteon switch mixed scene, it now turns right on. However, if I immediately turn on the ceiling fan via an insteon switch mixed scene, it does not typically come on and I have to wait some time and try again or press the fan remote on my desk. I'll turn on debug-level and send a log in next few days. Again, thanks for great plugins and excellent support. Paul Quote Link to comment
