[Feature Request] Permanent notification

[marek-vrana]

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

I'd like to display a permanent notification with popupNotify (until closed). Currently when I declare sleepTimeout in config it always fires with higher prio than the time sent with entityUpdateDetail command. Sending 0 with entityUpdateDetail also had the same effect, so it possibly may be a bug.

PANEL / FIRMWARE VERION

What's the timeout you are sending with popupnotify? 0 should work.

[marek-vrana]

I'm sending it like this:

pageType~popupNotify
entityUpdateDetail~id~Title~65535~btn1~3840~btn2~61440~desc~65535~0

So by entityUpdateDetail I meant popup notify.

Just tested on my panel and it works fine.

Can you run weblog 3 in your tasmota console and post the log from tasmota from sending the notification until it's disappearing?

Well, setting sleepTimeout to 0 and adjusting anything in app.yaml afterwards will show the screensaver on my nspanel with missing icons. I'm using latest tft 4.1.1 and actually I'm using esphome - do you think it's more related to it?

[marek-vrana]

okay, I did a bit more testing. The culprit here is the screensaver. Originally I thought it's because custom sensors, but I think it behaves the same with weather entities, it's just not that visible because of 1hr update interval.
So if you use a sensor with frequent refresh interval (e.g. local temperature sensor) in your screensaver, fullscreen notification get's overwritten.
Is there anything that can be fixed so that when notification fires, screensaver will not take precedence?

[joBr99]

need to check in earlier versions the notification blocked weather/screensaver updates in the HMI Project

I encounter the same problem.
The notification disappears after 15/20 seconds.

[joBr99]

can you please send an exmaple of your popupNotify command's that have this issue?

[joBr99]

So I've seen this on my panel a few times now, however I wasn't able to spot why the panel is switching to the screensaver and it's also not consistent for me. For the most time the notification stays there a really long time.

Can you enable run weblog 3 on the tasmota console and post the log during the moment the notification is going away?

[joBr99]

okay nevermind, just had this again and the panel is requesting to exit the popup

21:03:03.203 MQT: tele/tasmota_nspwohn/RESULT = {"CustomRecv":"event,buttonPress2,popupNotify,bExit"}

I've uploaded an version that is showing the sleepValue and the sleepTimeout on the popup Page, maybe that helps to diagnose the Problem. In my tests both values stay zero so far :/

An workaround for a permanent notification in the meantime might be using an high value as timeout. Maximum should be 2147483647 seconds.
Would be interesting if the issue is also happening with this value too.

Using a high value and counting seconds seems to be way more stable than doing nothing.

Try latest development version; in case the sleepTimeout in the popupNotify is 0 it is now replacing zero with the number of seconds of a year.

Hi, I uploaded sleeptimer.tft to my panel and with both 4.1.4 and latest dev version can only confirm what I stated before:

• When I omit custom sensors from screensaver and leave only Met.no entities, sleepTimeout and sleepValue stay at 0. When set to 2147483647 it's 2147483647 and timeout counting. Screensaver is not shown.

• With custom sensors enabled, no matter if I use 0 or 2147483647, after couple of seconds sleepTimeout is overwritten with value from nspanel config's sleepTimeout (currently 5). In case I use 2147483647 sleep value sometimes reaches 28sec, sometimes 9, sometimes 2, 7.. it feels random. Hard to tell exactly when I use 0 as the count starts only once the value is overwritten.

screensaver:
  entities:
    - entity: sensor.gw2000a_v2_2_3_outdoor_temperature
    - entity: weather.home
      type: 0
    - entity: weather.home
      type: 1
    - entity: weather.home
      type: 2
    - entity: delete
    - entity: sensor.nspanel_temperature
      icon: mdi:home-thermometer-outline

I wasn't able to download tft from your latest post (404).

This would have been the correct URL:

FlashNextion http://nspanel.pky.eu/lui.tft

[marek-vrana]

still behaves the same. Need to comment out custom sensors, otherwise screensaver is shown.

[joBr99]

I've found the issue please reflash development version.
