I have a ds18b20 running on a smart implant , over to a virtual
temp and then a vThermo thermostat. This setup has run very well
for a long time. Now I sometimes experience that the vThermo
teperature doesn’t update. When I turn WiFi and Homey off
and on again, the temp comes back again.
Any suggestions? Thanx in advance!
You have to do some debugging and testing, make a well educated guess what might cause the problem, and try to verify and proof your guess. By running parts of you flow and add loggings/messages/time line entries, excluding well functioning parts, until you isolated the problem.
Yepp, sounds logical. However, the signal
path from the virtual to the vThermo is not through a flow. The vThermo just picks it up. I don’t understand how to go about finding tha fault here.
Incidentally, I have the Homey Pro early 2019
Aha, for one moment I thought Vthermo was a fysical device.
So you readings of the DS18B20 are updated? Also on your virtual thermostat, but not always on Vthermo?
Yes, that is correct.
It turns out that a restart of the app makes it work. Why does the app fall out? How can I fix it?
Bitrot? Sometimes with all data being pumped around 24/7, some bits can get lost and screw things up.
An app restart often solves this.
Next time prior to restarting the app, send a diagnostic report to the developer, with a good description of the issue(s); maybe there’s some error messages of some kind.
I need to restart vThermo more and more often.
Does anyone else have a similar experience?
Should I recover (upside down) my Homey?
Should I delete and reinstall the vThermo device.
Is there an issue of an overflowing memory?
