Macros and scheduler, small query #514

Open 35nine opened 5 years ago

35nine commented 5 years ago

Hi, thanks for this continuing software, I am running still on 6.5.1. I have macros set for beginning of the night period (use sun based time bands). For example macro.sh. It fires off at the right time, for another example, 20:00 in logs sy macro.sh etc. Perfect.

When the next day begins, later that night, at 00:00 or 00:01, the macro fires again. In the log I have sy macro.sh etc and external verification via a HA dashboard that it did trigger.

I am wondering if this is normal or something that can be thought if possible to change? Can it be the macro can be set to fire at sunset as needed then not when the day ticks into the next day? Hope this makes sense, cheers for any thoughts

Macros configured should only fire when the period of the day changes.

Could you post here the section of the log and the cschedule.json (from /var/www/html or equivalent) so I can investigate further.

Hi, schedule attached (I think) and snip from log. So the macros should and do fire at approx 8pm (just after sunset in Melbourne now) and then again as you see at 00:00:04

Appreciate the help!

Thanks for json and snip of log.

II think I can see why this is happening. It is due to a change made to fix an issue with the fixed time periods.

I should be able to resolve this soon.
