PLEG gets out of sync with devices due to restart

wilme2 · November 6, 2014, 5:53pm

I have occasional restarts, and sometimes if these happen during PLEG actions, the devices, mostly z-wave, get out of sync with their states in PLEG.

So right now my Third Floor Thermostat is in energy mode both in VERA and on the thermostat , but PLEG is convinced it is in normal mode. Polling the device doesn’t update PLEG - is there a way to sync short of just changing the state and changing it back?

I think your problem is more in the thermostat/Vera side then in PLEG. I know there has been some issues with energy mode not switching or working right in VERA.

Have you noticed anything else having problems?

When you poll you say there is no change but, when you manually flip it on and off it updates in PLEG?

These battery powered thermostates?

What UI are you on?

It is not just thermostats. Right now I have a light switch in the same scenario. The light is on, but PLEG thinks it is off. PLEG turned the light on at 10:15am, but as you can see below the PLEG state does not reflect that nor was it logged by EventWatcher. That is likely due to a restart at roughly 10:16am.

Yes, if I cycle them to energy saving and back, or on and then off in the case of a light switch, then it updates and stays in sync with PLEG - as long as no restarts during an associated PLEG action.

Everything in question is line powered. UI5…

I don’t have a solution to your problem, but one thing is for sure you need to fix this rebooting problem.

RichardTSchaefer · November 7, 2014, 9:27pm

Can you post the full status report!
Also what type of error is causing the reboot … it sounds like Vera is NOT writing out the most recent device state when it crashes … it is supposed to …
But it might be crashing trying to save the device state.

Everything is in sync right now, but I will post when it happens again. Thanks!

The 1st to 2nd Stair Lights are out of sync. Rebooted when turning them off. PLEG shows them as being on while Vera shows them off. Status report:

That status report is a lot to read. The problem is that Vera restarted while turning off the light, a standard GE/Jasco dimmer in a 4-way configuration, due to a PLEG action, and hence PLEG now thinks the light is on when it is not. Unless I manually turn the light on and then back off, the lights won’t go back to automatic. Even a condition I have built to turn off lights manually turned on after an hour won’t fix the problem - the condition fires, but because Vera knows the light is really off the state doesn’t get reset…

Lights1stto2ndOff 1st to 2nd Stair Lights is turned off false 2014-11-10 18:15:56.737 2014-11-10 18:17:12.777

I will have to review the code … but as I recall … when PLEG restarts … it reads the device states and re-evaluates the triggers … and will trigger after the reload any triggers that happened during the reload.

wilme2 · November 14, 2014, 4:21pm

I have regular situations where the restart definitely isn’t getting the updated state into PLEG. Don’t get me wrong - I love PLEG, as evidenced by my status report above, plus I have another similarly sized PLEG to control climate. And I don’t know why the restarts are happening. They happen when I am simply turning on and off lights based on security alarm input (DSC plug-in) and occupancy sensor input (EnOcean plug-in). I have a VeraLite that is likely very tight on memory, and so I have a 64 MB swap file to help with memory, and I am using USB logging…

wilme2 · November 14, 2014, 6:28pm

The one last night is pretty clear looking at Event Watcher logs via SYSLOG on my Synology NAS-

Occupancy Sensor trips at 23:04:45 and turns lights on at that same 23:04:45.

Sensor goes untripped at 23:06:50, the light did not turn off as it should, instead Event Watcher has Vera = RESTART() at 23:07:10 and VeraAlerts has Vera Startup at 23:07:15. The PLEG showed after the 23:07 restart that the light was off, but in reality it was not and the UI5 GUI agreed that the light was still on. I had to turn it off via AutHomation when we went to bed…

What in PLEG show it was off ? The condition that turns it OFF ? Or do you have a trigger for this as well ?

wilme2 · November 14, 2014, 7:31pm

Triggers on on-and-off states…

BedroomClosetLightsOff Bedroom Closet Lights is turned off true
BedroomClosetLightsOn Bedroom Closet Lights is turned on false

Replying to this since I want to see updates considering I am having the exact same issue…

wilme2 · November 17, 2014, 11:43pm

Walked back into my office just now, and the lights didn’t turn on.

PLEG turned the lights off at 17:33, via Condition:

OfficeNeedsFanLightsOff	No	OfficeFanLightsOn and (OfficeFanLightsOnViaAuto or (OfficeFanLightsOn ; Now > 60:00)) and (OfficeOccupancy ; Now > 10:00)	false	2014-11-17 17:33:07.682	2014-11-17 17:34:25.690

Associated action:

Actions for Condition: OfficeNeedsFanLightsOff

Device Actions:

Immediate

Device	Action	Arguments
Office Fan Lights	SetLoadLevelTarget	newLoadlevelTarget=0

But a restart happened right as the action occurred.

So the triggers are backwards and hence my office is dark…

Triggers:

OfficeFanLightsOff Office Fan Lights is turned off false 2014-11-17 16:38:55.928 2014-11-17 17:09:21.672 OfficeFanLightsOn Office Fan Lights is turned on true 2014-11-17 17:09:21.673 2014-11-17 16:38:55.928

I had same issues with my vera, I decided to factory reset and I’m building back one PLEG at a time leaving it run 12 hours between each modification trying to find out what causes the crash, in my logfile, I had LUUP restart 245 every 15-30 minutes.

I’ll post my finds here.

^^^ sounds like this is the best option for the OP also. His problems apear to isolated to a select few users rather then a whole Vera or PLEG plugin issue. A start over would likely never show the problem again.

wilme2 · November 18, 2014, 2:28am

(Homer Simpson voice) doh!

I only have 2-3 restarts a day, and always driven by PLEG activities. And at 60+ devices (z-wave, enocean, alarm zones), it would be several full days of work to rebuild without restoring from backup. I would really only want to undertake that as part of a [UI5 + VeraLite] to [UI7 + Vera Edge] conversion. I mean if I am going to spend several days of my time redoing everything, I ought to at least get the additional memory and processor speed - the cost of a Vera Edge is small compared to my time to implement. The problem is that I hear UI7 is still far from ready - and I have Vera deeply integrated into my wife and my daily lives and no hurry to lose the high WAF factor I have achieved…

There really isn’t a way to resync device states? That is all I really wanted to figure out - a way to force the re-evaluation of the triggers when PLEG does not match Vera…

Sorry I don’t think the magic button has been created or found hiding anywhere. Think maybe your pushing the Vera Lite to hard? ( I don’t know what all you have on it)

goldriver · November 18, 2014, 11:06am

Added 3 new PLEG yesterday night using schedules and NOW – 6 LUUP restart overnight

Looking at the log, it seems that 2 of the PLEG triggered for no reason and keep being evaluated every minutes until it crashes again.

I’m not sure how to analysing the issue, would there be someone able to guide my research, I included my log file between 2 crashes and my PLEG Status report.

Thanks for any help
