Lost wi-fi, Predbat didn't fail in a detectable way #826

Closed gcoan closed 5 months ago

gcoan commented 6 months ago

Describe the bug The wi-fi node in my garage lost connection this afternoon so the inverters went offline. Predbat started reporting errors with time being incorrect and REST failing & would be disabled, but because predbat.status changed every 5 minutes the script I have to detect a Predbat failure occuring for a period of time couldn't be triggered.

history of predbat.status: image image image and carries on like this for the next 2 hours image

Expected behavior

  1. Failure occurred reading from REST, Predbat says it will stop using REST, but 5 minutes later it tries again. If REST fails then Predbat should stop trying to use it (or at least stop for a decent time period, e.g. 30 minutes).
  2. Once an error occurs, leave the status showing the error, don't change it. This means an external automation to detect "predbat.status contains 'ERROR' for 10 minutes" can be triggered

I suspect the REST issue is what caused the second issue. Might be that the errors were coming from the balance inverter code?

Predbat version 7.16.3

Environment details HAOS, 2x 5kW hybrid inverters

springfall2008 commented 6 months ago

I've pushed a fix to main to:

  1. Catch the crash with charge_start_time
  2. Created a new 'error' attribute in predbat.status which is True when the system is in error. I think if you base your script on that rather than the text in status then you might have more luck?
gcoan commented 6 months ago

thanks, I'll give it a test and see how it behaves. Is the error attribute set only on this error or is it more general set when there's a predbat failure, and I assume the attribute is cleared if Predbat gets to the end of a normal run?

springfall2008 commented 6 months ago

It's just a binary true/false for any type of error so it should be false for normal runs

gcoan commented 5 months ago

thanks, I have updated my automation to use this error attribute and added details of using it to the documentation
