Ghosts in the system

[djandibParticipant]

Hi,
I have a new phenomenon in my system:
suddenly for no apparent reason, my shutter closes.
I have a scene that detects a level < 10 and adjusts the shutter accordingly again to 10.
In the log file the node 21 is the named shutter.
I have this Problem with ALL my shutters, but random shutter and random time. So I have such movements at night, too.
Anybody who has an idea?

I can send log.txt if needed…

Did you check the associations?
Usually this only happens if another device starts sending signals.

Otherwise try killing the scene service and check whether it stops.

Kind regards,

ok.
I implemented a Vdevice “STOP” at all my scenes and will set it to true at time between 22 and 4 o`clock.
I `m going to report tomorrow 😉

Meanwhile:
I just checked the log from Scene-Service:

Last night there was a ghost at 23:33.
Shutter 1 was closed to 0% by ghost and was triggered again by my selfmade scene to close to 10%.
I can see this in the log file:
2016-09-22 23:33:05 Event : Scene “globalscene.php” is already running.

What`s the differenz between “eventscene.php” and “globalscene.php”?

In the log-file from vdevices I see:
2016-09-23 09:37:05 ERROR : The generated json file is not correct!

Where can I get a correct json file?
May this cause the ghosts?

Hi Koen,
I think I found one hint for the ghost:
Whyever sometime the level for the shutter ist “” empty.
My scene “open at least 10” interprets this as “<10” and closes to 10.
I now elimated the “” in my scene and define “>=0 or <10”.
I keep on searching if that was the only reason….

Aha, sounds like your vdevices service is broken.
It generates a json file to store the parameters and somehow it got corrupt.
Probably you have too much [ or } characters at the end.

I think it’s following file:
/volume1/web/PulseStation/data/vdevices.json
Try validating this file by copy pasting the content into:
http://jsonlint.com/

2) Evenscene.php is triggered by an event. Eg: a motion that has been triggered.

3) Also check your pre-scene, if you set one up, this is executed before any other scenes.
It’s inside blocky in the dropdown list of scenes, at the bottom.

Kind regards,

1) json checked: valid
but in the vdevices:
2016-09-30 10:39:05 ERROR : The generated json file is not correct!

2) I checked scene.log with appearance of an ghost: No scene is running
e.g.
at 12:05 I got Pushover-Note: Shutter new level 99
2016-09-30 12:03:03 Periodic : Start
2016-09-30 12:03:06 Periodic : End
2016-09-30 12:04:03 Periodic : Start
2016-09-30 12:04:06 Periodic : End
2016-09-30 12:05:01 Periodic : Start
2016-09-30 12:05:06 Periodic : End
2016-09-30 12:06:00 Periodic : Start
2016-09-30 12:06:05 Periodic : End

3) I have prescene, but only variables or virtual switches are set

🙁 I think it`s gonna be a long research program….
