I updated my Domoticz, and now when I use the 'update flowermates' switch in Domoticz, I recieve this errors. Before updating it all worked fine, but now I don't know how to fix it:

Hi, I got the same error and I updated the python from repository and it has been resolved

hi @SzemiSun - can you please explain what you did? I have the same poller error happening now... in fact, it crashes all the domoticz hardware thread as well...

eserero commented 4 years ago

scratch that, found the problem on my end (no connectivity). however this bring another problem. if I loose connectivity, then the plugin cause all the hardware thrads to crash and cause domoticz event queue to get stuck for a couple of minutes. any way to run this in the background?

Perhaps you could spin it off into a thread (don't know if that's compatible), or add a try/catch mechanism. I won't build it for you as I no longer use Domoticz. But if you add it and create a pull request I could add it in.

cause domoticz event queue to get stuck for a couple of minutes.

It seems it's inherent to the way the implemented poller in this plugin handles not responding devices. I'm not a python specialist but in miflora_poller.py there are a lot of references to retry after waiting 5 mn that is a huge amount of time in home automation processes.

And it seems that during this waiting time, Domoticz is enabled to execute other python threads.

That's why I finally stopped using this (by other ways excellent) plugin
