Haiku onZoneNotReady Event

[snx]

I was playing around last night with this event and noticed something strange (my goal is to eventually emulate an example HAI program which changes the mode of my thermostats based on windows open/closed, etc). Anyway I just did some simple logging and noticed that the event seems to get called continuously and not "when a zone goes not ready". Maybe by design? (ds is a datestamp function from another file)

function onZoneNotReady(zone) {
helper.logToExternalFile('Window.log', ds + " - " + zone.bestDescription + " Open");
}

And the log

2012-09-26 20:00:13 - MASTER Windows Open
2012-09-26 20:00:15 - MASTER Windows Open
2012-09-26 20:03:35 - MASTER Windows Open

2012-09-26 20:04:55 - MASTER Windows Open
2012-09-26 20:04:57 - MASTER Windows Open

I left the windows open and the logging continued several times per minute like this example. Just curious if HH polls zone status like this.

Thanks

That's not the way that its supposed to work, it should only become not ready once per zone. Perhaps there is something strange going on with the sensor causing it to toggle back and forth? What kind of a sensor is this? Can you try logging onZoneSecure() also for comparison?

Will do. It's just a simple magnetic window contact. For what it's worth, I do have the program running successfully on the OmniPro but I just log when the thermostat changes mode not the state of the window flag.

Thanks

We should still look into this as it doesn't seem right.
