Z-Wave bindings no longer get activated #260

Closed pz1 closed 9 years ago

pz1 commented 9 years ago

It seems now that the order in which modules are started are no longer determined by the order in which they appear in the list. In my logs I see the bindings script is consistently started some 3 seconds after the start of the Z-wave bindings.

How do I force a different order, so the bindings will work as before?

See forum for more background

what do you exactly want?

pz1 commented 9 years ago

In essence I do want my bindings to function again, so my device statuses will be send over UDP to OpenRemote.

That worked well until recently. I have verified that the UDP channel does work. The only problematic thing I found in the logs was the fact that my bindings code was called after the start of Z-Way. You and Pofs have stressed that the order must be the other way around. I guess that is still true. I do not know how I can enforce it. Or has this whole bindings thing changed too lately?

side note: If still possible I would like to keep it as a HA module. I'm considering to change it into a more generic module, where the user can specify amongst others the "bound" devices by their numbers rather than have the selected devices enumerated in the code.

What other information do you need from me? Do you want to continue here or from my last post on the forum

If you are using zway.bind to trap new devices creation, add 0x200 flag ("EnumerateExisting") to get this binding invoked on all already present devices too. See ZWaveBinding/index.js for more info

I am not creating new devices. I have manually enumerated all device statuses that need to be bound to send an UDP update message. That worked fine in earlier versions, but not in the last v201 RC's.

Now, after a system reboot, or Z-Way restart, the JS CustomCode is properly loaded, and starts. But often the bindings don't seem to be instantiated. At least there are no status updates sent.. RaspiB+Razberry does slightly better than Raspi2+UZB1.

In direct response to your comment: I did find four references to EnumerateExisting in the Zwave module. However I have no clue how or where I should apply that in my existing code.
