BSC.event and BSC.info
6 December, 2013 - 17:42
I'm trying to tweak a script to control the lighting using nodes as movement sensors but only after dark.
While playing I have noticed in xFx viewer that sometimes I get a couple of xAPBSC.info messages for the same endpoint with different values without an xAPBSC.event. I thought that an event was sent if an endpoint changed and an info was sent if no change.
Am I mistaken or is this normal?

info class meltdown
Hi
I'm probably missing something very obvious but....
I'm running this testApplet.lua---------------it's part of a larger project. Anyway in XFX viewer I'm getting multiple info events for these endpoints at 200 ms intervals that seem to drown out all other activity. Any advice?
module(...,package.seeall)
require ('xap')
require('xap.bsc')
info={
version="1.0", description="counter test"
}
function init()
-- Create new xAP Endpoints to show countdown
LivbscBoostCounter = bsc.Endpoint{source="dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard:LivBoostCounter", direction=bsc.OUTPUT, type=bsc.STREAM}
KitbscBoostCounter = bsc.Endpoint{source="dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard:KitBoostCounter", direction=bsc.OUTPUT, type=bsc.STREAM}
BedbscBoostCounter = bsc.Endpoint{source="dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard:BedBoostCounter", direction=bsc.OUTPUT, type=bsc.STREAM}
WaterbscBoostCounter = bsc.Endpoint{source="dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard:WaterBoostCounter", direction=bsc.OUTPUT, type=bsc.STREAM}
LivbscBoostCounter:setText("00:00")
KitbscBoostCounter:setText("00:00")
BedbscBoostCounter:setText("00:00")
WaterbscBoostCounter:setText("00:00")
end

I never saw this behaviour
I never saw this behaviour with this code which does the same as yours its just more compact.
endpoints={}
function init()
for _,i in pairs{"Liv","Kit","Bed","Water"} do
name = i.."BoostCounter"
endpoints[name] = bsc.Endpoint{source="dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard:"..name, direction=bsc.OUTPUT, type=bsc.STREAM}
endpoints[name]:setText("00:00")
endpoints[name]:sendEvent()
end
end

Thanks for the "tidy up"
Strangely without me making any changes the tsunami of info events slowed down to their normal 2 min intervals.
I'm still very confused as to what is going on.
Here is another snippet of the same applet. Even though the timer is supposed to fire at 10 sec intervals I'm seeing a flood of events.
function boost(b)
local zone,plussage = unpack(b)
if zone == "liv" then
if plussage == "0" then --if stop button has been pressed
bsc.sendState("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:relay.2", "off")
LivOffTime = os.time()
else
bsc.sendState("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:relay.2", "on")
bsc.sendState("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:RF.3", "on")
LivOffTime = os.time() + LivRunningTime + 1800 -- increment each time button is pressed
xap.Timer(LivCountLoop, 10):start(true) --start timer fire immediately
end
end
end
function LivCountLoop(timer)
LivRunningTime = os.difftime(LivOffTime,os.time()) -- in seconds
if LivRunningTime <= 0 then
bsc.sendState("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:relay.2", "off")
bsc.sendState("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:RF.3", "off")
LivRunningTime = 0
timer:delete()
end
LivbscBoostCounter:setText(SecondsToClock(LivRunningTime + 59))-- to make the readout look OK
LivbscBoostCounter:sendEvent()
end
function SecondsToClock(nSeconds)
if nSeconds == 0 then
return "00:00"
else
nHours = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(nSeconds/3600))
nMins = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(nSeconds/60 - (nHours*60)))
return nHours..":"..nMins
end
end
Er no that is not normal. What endpoint was doing this on you?
