[Support] Terminate running process on update #105

Closed hunhejj closed 3 years ago

hunhejj commented 3 years ago

I am trying to integrate an RF controlled window cover. Basically I send the RF signal, then wait for x seconds in the script and finally I set the state to closed assuming that the cover actually closed by then.

However what happens if I send another command during this interval? Ideally the original process would be stopped gracefully, i.e. that it could still persist its state, e.g for how long it has been run, then the next command is performed.

Is that possible with CMD4?

Hi,

Homebridge does not work that way. It is a node.js tool so the second request would be sent during the first requests running time. In other words you cannot guarantee that the second process would not overlap the first. State information is usually less than 5 seconds as defined by Homebridge or it generates a message that the process took to long.

Ttyl, John

You could however write your script to keep track of what is happening and then act accordingly.
