When starting up first poll of state send notification #1

Closed knuckleheadsmiff closed 4 years ago

knuckleheadsmiff commented 5 years ago

I’d like to get rid of a notification being send for the first event after startup. This is because I reboot my server once a day (late at night) and I always get a “closed” event sent when the state is detected.

I don’t set the initial state on the accessory when it is created because I don’t want to freeze the home bridge startup process, and want to asynchronously set the state via polling to be a nice homebridge citizen.

I was think to initialize to “closed” and then have polling code reset. I kind don’t like that because if poll g code was failing for some reason then HomeKit would think the door is not n the wrong state for an extended period of time and I don’t like to give false state reports. Just seems wrong. I’d rather have HomeKit keep the device in an “updating...” state.

If someone has advice that would be great.

just set in home app not to notify while rebooting at a specific time.
