PLEG schedules all firing after Vera restart

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)

Dear all,

I experienced following issue two times (causing all of my shutters to open in the middle of the night, unhappy family members as a consequence):

[ul][li]I reboot my Vera at 4.30 in the night to free memory, at that time it is very unlikely it should do something useful[/li]
[li]After the reboot, all my PLEG schedule triggers fire. 1 time only the sunset / sunrise items, 1 time all[/li]
[li]Temporarily I will reschedule the reboot during daytime to avoid further short nights[/li][/ul]

Any ideas why this happens / how to avoid?

Should not be happening. Can you post the STATUS report in PDF from your PLEGs?

See attached.

The schedule ‘Opstaan_weekend’ still shows the problem: when it triggered, it was not weekend at all, and not 8:30 either (but 4:32). All other schedule logs have been overwritten by more recent events.

I can’t see anything wrong in the Status. Could you have started the timer via another PLEG or a scene? I have an application where I (re) start a PLEG timer from a separate PLEG, and another where I start a PLEG timer from a traditional scene…

Problem is this one (also others, but status was erased by more recent events):

Opstaan_weekend
Trigger: Weekly 08:30:00 6,7 None Interval 4:05:00 None false
Triggered: 2016?06?28 04:32:46.374

Should only trigger Saturday or Sunday at 8:30, triggered at 4:32 on a Tuesday…

No triggers from other PLEG or whatsoever.

I saw the problem in the Status, but nothing there pointed to what might be causing it. I agree it appears to have fired after the restart and ran for the 4 hours and 5 minutes. We are just not sure what caused the schedule to fire.

You said you were rebooting at 4:30am - one problem that can raise is if the internet is not up at the time of the reboot, Vera defaults to something like 01-01-1999 until its RDATE function gets a good date and time. If that happens I would expect the timestamp to show the bizarre date, however. This can cause havoc with timers, and is one reason I would not schedule a reboot, and only do so on an as-needed basis…
