VeraAlerts crashed again

Apps & Remote Access VeraAlerts
1

I filed a Report on it this time.

Basically, it seems to run fine as long as I don’t touch the phone. But, if I go to the home screen, and then go back into the VeraAlerts app, the phone is really laggy, almost like the memory is exhausted. And then VeraAlerts crashes.

It crashed in the Database code.
What values do you have for Max Message Count ? For Max Retention Days ?
PM or email me with your Vera Mobile ID.

3

Max message count: 1
Max retention days: 1

It did this when they were both set to 5 also.

Will the mobile ID do anything? It’s not registered, I’m using it over the local LAN only.

Do you use it only for TTS ?
How often do you open the Application to look at messages ?
Anything unique about the messages ?
Typical size of message ?
If you are using LAN I do not need a VeraID.

Yes, only for TTS. Usually the app is left open and I’m not at the home screen, but rather the in the app. The problem occurs when I switch back to the home screen to do something else, and I switch back to the app. Nothing is terribly unique about the messages, other than they all have an alert tone played before the TTS. The size of each message is typically small, such as “Front door opened.” During the day, it also speaks the time every half hour (“ The current time is 2:30pm.”) But every morning when I disarm the alarm, it speaks the current weather and the forecast for the day. The weather alert is probably 200+ characters

Removing OLD entries is only done when you ENTER the page that lists the alerts.
Can you check the FREE memory on your Mobile …
I may have to add a periodic clean to purge messages.

454M used, 240M free.

Vera Alerts is currently using 12M. But, I just restarted it a couple of days ago. I’ll keep an eye on it.

I’ve had this crash a couple more times. It’s currently broken again. I pressed the button that sent the crash report. Richard, did you get a chance to take a look at it?

Turn Debug OFF.

It was off. All boxes were unchecked.

I needs some more info about your use.

Are you using LAN mode ?
Do you have a max message or max day setting ?
Does the application run all the time ?

Which app version ?

I am exclusively using LAN mode, on port 8372. Max messages is 1, max days is 1. It runs 24/7. Version 3.32.

Also, when I wipe the data to get it to work again and I set the LAN port, it won’t start listening until I reboot the phone.

13

By run … do you mean the window that shows all the messages ?
Or do you mean that it’s listening on the LAN port all the time ?

I need to review when I do the cleanup of old data … I think it’s when I open the window to display the entries. So if you do not do that … I guess it can fill up the database/memory with messages.
I might have to revisit that.

I leave the messages window open all the time.
