value polling interval

[algar42]

In addition to value polling interval is it possible to add a polling interval delay setting ( in milliseconds), so the device states are checked with "polling interval" but with "delay" between requests? It will be useful for some 433 MHz devices when a lot of channels being requested at once makes difficult to use the same frequency by other devices.

Hm .... would not be the homebridge plugin needs to make sure it handles that? When you open a „room“ in the iOS home app also homebridge requests all Infos for all devices in this room. So a „mass“ request also happens there.

[algar42]

Probably you are right... I didn't use homebridge, so can't say exactly. But it would be a good upgrade of homebridge from iobroker side ;)

[Apollon77]

Which homebridge-plugins do you use to integrate those 433MHz devices?

[algar42]

it is homebridge-noolite .

[Apollon77]

found in forum :-) Please see there. open an isue with tem and we see what they say :)

[algar42]

thanks ;)

[algar42]

just a question. When we use global-homebridge-mode is there a way to initiate device status update from iobroker?

[Apollon77]

Did you open an issue with noolite plugin?

For the global mode question: I also thought about it but then checked things and decided to wait till someone asks because a bit more difficult there ;-)
You can open me an issue if you like to have this and unwilling check as I find time next.

No, I didn't raise any issues to homebridge noolite yet because I faced another problem. When not in global-mode, after some time MTRF-64 stops responding to status updates (even from plugin web interface). I see that request for update is sent to MTRF, but nothing received back to plugin. I currently can't understand where the problem is (USB-TTL, linux settings, plugin itself or wrapper mode) and moved to global-mode to see. Will check tomorrow if it still receives messages back from MTRF or not.... Currently it is more important than "mass attack" to 433 MHz :)
(it is why I actually asked about possibility to update states in global-mode).

[algar42]

Update: Stopping status updates is the issue of homebridge-noolite module itself, developer is aware and working on update.
So, in general yet another module can be considered as tested and working well with iobroker.ham in both modes. "mass attack" to 433 MHz is topic for another discussion with developer.
