I don't want "retries"

Hi,

My garage is a bit far away from the vera, I have installed some wallplugs to extend the range and the range is okay-ish, there is a bit of delay , but it works.

The problem: I use to open and close my garage door a fibaro relais FGS221, and have set the parameters 3 to 1 and parameter 4 to 60. Basically ,I simulate a "springloaded button push"of 1 second with this. Since the vera doesn’t get a confirmation from the relais on time , it goes for a retry. Since everytime the first try worked fine, just the confirmation took a bit long , the garage door closes due to the retry again (is a second button push) :-/

How can I change something that vera does not go for a retry , at least not within for example 10 seconds. Can this be changed somehow?

Your help is appreciated,
thanks,
Cor

Maybe use should remove the push button mode …
Let Vera Send an ON … followed by an OFF once it acknowledges the ON.

I got an extended antenna, that sorted the problem

I extended the button press to 2.5 seconds (until my extended antenna arrives !). This works for me

How can I do this?

I use
luup.call_delay( ’ … ', 1.5 )
but this doesn’t mean I have the switch for 1.5 s switched on, right?

Because sometimes the time between where the switch is actually on is very short, how can I avoid this?

Not a good idea I think.

What if the connection is very unreliable. The “ON” arrives and the “Off” never arrives. Which will mean your button is alway in the “ON” position.
