Issues on Pi

[bkenobi]

Perhaps that is the reason HG was throwing a bunch of errors to the console when I switch a large quantity of house codes without waiting for the "wait" spinner to stop?

[Etienne]

Great re. finding the bug ... will wait for next release then!

Etienne: should be possible restart HG and keep modules status by sending a -SIGINT signal. That way HG will save status and quit gently.

I'm not quite sure about how to do this? I normally restart HG by running sudo /etc/init.d/homegenie restart ... so what should I do before this command?

[beller]

i had similar problems in past, that i have also today: http://sourceforge.net/p/homegenie/discussion/csharpscripting/thread/abadc8d6/

how i can schedule a reset of the board at a specific time (or more then  one) during the day ?

gene say to send SIGINT to mantain the status of HG... how ?

thanks

You need to read about crontab ... you'll find lots of info on many sites.

That I don't know ... yet

[Gene]

Assuming that HG is the only mono application running in the system:

Code: [Select]


sudo killall -s SIGINT mono


if you update this in the /etc/init.d/homegenie script, then you can call

Code: [Select]


sudo /etc/init.d/homegenie stop


I am updating this in the homegenie script too, so that will terminate gently.

Please update to r329 and let me know if the issue is fixed. I am confident that it is.

So ... been on 329 since launch... no issues till now. So as you say seems fixed!

Will let you know should it come back!

[Gene]

I'm sorry to say... that the bug is still haunting r329  :-
So I revised the WebServiceGateway again and found a stackoverflow post that gave the right hint for fixing.
Well off course I won't be saying it's fixed unless I do see HG running on raspi for a couple of months flawlessly 

Cheers,
g.

[Etienne]

so this fix will be present on next official update?

[Gene]

Yes, I'm testing it since yesterday. I'll let it run for a week before considering it fixed.
If some of you want to help beta-testing this I'll attach the MIG.dll here.

Cheers,
g.

[Etienne]

yeah sure ... no problem for me ...

do i just replace dll on pi and restart?

[Gene]

Stop hg, replace MIG.dll and restart.
Here it is.

Cheers,

I am going to test the fix. Currently, I am having to stop and restart the HomeGenie service a couple of times a day.

My configuration is r329 on a Raspberry Pi with an Aeon USB Z-Wave controller.

I'll let you know how the fix is working for me. The HomeGenie service only seems to hang when controlling devices. I am also running r329 as windows service in a development environment, without an Aeon controller, and it has never crashed.

I had to stop and restart the HG service this morning to get it to respond. It was not completely hung up, just really, really sluggish and not responding to every command.

[Gene]

This is a different behavior from the one covered here.
Just a question: are you using z-wave polling?
The problem may be connected to it. If so try disabling and using nodes reporting facility in place of it.
