wrong adjustment logged

[Kali-]

Not a big issue but I just noticed that I have 4 valves that run in sequential on a single program and timer is set to 32 minutes As you can see in the log, the last one shows a different Adjustment but same duration (maybe the duration is computed at start of the program and adjustment at the end of each valve?)

Date	Start Time	Station	Duration	Adjustment	Program
2023-10-12	07:36:09	Prato Retro Parco	17:03	48 %	3 volte a settimana
2023-10-12	07:19:06	Prato Retro casa	17:03	55 %	3 volte a settimana
2023-10-12	07:02:03	Prato Fronte Casa	17:03	55 %	3 volte a settimana
2023-10-12	06:45:00	Prato Fronte Parco	17:03	55 %	3 volte a settimana

I think it's just a log problem. The first start should set the adjustment of the whole group. In fact your duration is the same in all valves and correct. @Dan-in-CA could help us fixing this log error

I am looking into the problem.

I set up a test program but did not see the problem.

@Giulio, Do you have another program that runs after the one that shows the problem or do you have any plugins installed that might make an adjustment? Also please check the Stations tab to make sure no stations are set to Ignore Plugin adjustments.

I personally haven't run into this problem, but @Dan-in-CA have you tried changing the adjustment % during execution and seeing if the logs preserved the first one?

I have only this program enabled and yes I use Weather-based Water Level and monthly adjustment no station ignores the plugin adjustments

maybe the "weather based ..." do some computation differently for some reason

and this "cosmetic" bug happened to me 3 times

another example:

Date	Start Time	Station	Duration	Adjustment	Program
2023-09-29	06:45:21	Prato Retro Parco	25:07	80 %	bi weekly
2023-09-29	06:20:14	Prato Retro casa	25:07	80 %	bi weekly
2023-09-29	05:55:07	Prato Fronte Casa	25:07	80 %	bi weekly
2023-09-29	05:30:00	Prato Fronte Parco	25:07	78 %	bi weekly

btw how Duration is adjusted? I have it set to 32m and 78% of it is 24m and 56s, 80% 25m and 36s and log says 25:07 :D

[Dan-in-CA]

The duration is calculated from the number of seconds that a station runs. 32m = 1920s 25:07 = 1507s 1507 / 1920 = 0.784... or 78%

It may be that the weather plugin is changing the total adjustment after the program starts. This would not change the run time of the stations that are already scheduled but would change the adjustment value shown in the log.

The adjustment shown in the log are added per station when the log is updated. This is necessary if a station is set to ignore plugin adjustments on the Stations page.

The program shown has a duration of 10m before adjustments.

What is your monthly adjustment set for?

Thanks for the clarification (adjustment % can contain decimals but only the integer part is logged) I also got your point on why the adjustment is added at the end, the only issue is that it can cause confusion (this is why we are discussing here :) ) Monthly adjustment in September was 80 and 55 in october

[Dan-in-CA]

The adjustment value shown in the log is rounded up to the nearest integer but it is for informational purposes and is not used to control anything. It may include a small amount of "rounding error"

As it is now the log shows the adjustment value from a variable that holds the total adjustments from plugins as well as the water level setting on the home page. It will probably be better to calculate the log adjustment value from (final run duration / duration set in the program). This should give a more accurate value and will not be affected by adjustment changes that occur after the program starts.

I will work on the change..

SIP rev 5.0.41 has the update.
