I am trying to integrate my AD2PI running the PiBakery load into a home automation system and I'm having trouble with lost events.
I have been seeing this issue for several updates but now that I have ruled out the home automation system, I'm posting against the following release:

I cut out the event log from the AD2PI WebApp to show the problems that I have detected. This one shows a wireless door sensor faulting but not clearing but the keypad text clearly shows that the sensor cleared. My Vista 20P has a dedicated RF transceiver module on the bus along with the AD2PI and (2) 6160 keypads (no RF on them). Here is the log from today:

ZN17 Laundry Entry Door (RFX:0957061) faulted but did not restore. On the WebApp, everything looks OK because you get this:

Code: Select all

2019-7-25 7:29:05 PM   READY   Ready status has changed to True
2019-7-25 7:29:06 PM   ZONE RESTORE   Zone LAUNDRY ENTRY DOOR (17) has been restored.


On the home automation system, it is easy to spot the missing restore events, but now I suspect that I may be missing fault events without having an indication.

Please let me know if I can debug this further. I have the ability to test down to the hardware level if it comes to that.

I would put my $ on you having 2.2a.8.8 firmware. If so please update to the latest beta 8.9 and see if you still see the issue. I expect not since that was the latest bug/fix. I never did trace down the original source of the bug or I have by now forgotten it but as I recall it was a timing issue causing lost RFX messages and hmm.. maybe others? Not so sure on that.

Let me know

Updated! I'll test for a few days and report back.

From what I can tell, things have greatly improved with the beta firmware. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! For my own setup RFX message support is critical.
