/info seems static #23

Closed guckykv closed 2 years ago

guckykv commented 4 years ago

Hi!

I've written a simple script which makes a GET to the web interface of freeathome-api path "/info" and filters out all RTR (Raumtemperaturregler). So I can draw a graph for the actual / target temperature.

But nothing changes. The values are all static. If i kill and restart the freeathome-api I get new values. But only once. Till the next api restart.

What's wrong? Does the api cache the values?

Regards, Georg.

Hi, yes the API caches values, but listens for updates from the system access point. Therefore the cache values should always be correct.

I think the issue is already documented here. Have you tried that already?

guckykv commented 4 years ago

Thanks. Looks better now. I have a special api user so I normally don't use it for manual login.

But I don't think that the system access point was rebooted since I've started to use your api.

henry-spanka commented 4 years ago

👍 From what I have seen you need to login once after every reboot with the API user for it to work correctly. When you create a user for the API you also need to login once. I haven't found a fix for it yet.

I'd like to compare all messages that are send from the web implementation to the ones that are send through the API and checking the differences. From the webinterface I see two distinct calls for 'stream' and 'subscription', and although I have no clue what these'll actually do at the time of writing, it seems interesting to figure out what's going on there. Maybe I can do some digging tomorrow.

There shouldn't be any difference between them. Let me know if you find something.

I have got the same problem /info reflects the value after API start-up (v 2.3.1, Windows 8) then no updates any more (of course the f@h app is correctly updated). Using a separate account as operator and did login/logout. I would just need to check the status of the garage door - is there a way to poll this info ?

henry-spanka commented 4 years ago

Are all datapoint's static or only your garage door?

draxels commented 4 years ago

I have checked the weather data now - same story. Data is only updated at a restart of the API.

henry-spanka commented 4 years ago

Can you please try again to login with a separate user in the Web UI and control a few actuators and log out again. Then restart the API and it should hopefully work.

draxels commented 4 years ago

Yes, this seems to be the issue. After login/logout using the Web UI (same user) and not the App(s), data updates are received. I have never used the Web UI and forgot that it existed. Now I get the #18 error but this is a different subject and I can handle it. Thank you very much, I am enthusiastic user of your API !
