Debounce ?

[enigmatheatre]

Well , since the modifications that you described i haven't had any trouble
Thanks for that, always great how fast the response on questions is for this great plugin !
and for the clear explanation !!!

Great news.

I think we try our best and as Randy has tested my plugin for a long time now I think he gets my way of working and also is a big help to me with explaining things in detail as I am not the best at that.

Thanks guys for the quick reaction.
I have set the debounce to 500 now and will set a rule that the event can't be re triggered in x minutes.
Stupid that i haven't thought of this....
Ordered a capacitor as well to connect it at the board side and hope this solves everything described above

Will let you guys know how it goes.

That should work. I helped a friend with an especially troublesome input on a long wire. We ended up using an opto-isolated relay board, between his tilt sensor and the Arduino input. The mercury switch was connected to the relay board input, then the relay was used to pull the Arduino input down. We put a capacitor on the Arduino as well as the input to the relay board. This stopped every false trigger. Because the opto-isolator provides a very low impedance load to the switch, it is much less susceptible to noise.

Hi all,

i have a simple reed relais connected to my mailbox.
Everytime when it is being opened i get a push message from pushover.

This seemed to work pretty good for some time, although i did get false notices, it takes a picture also and then nobody was there.
Yesterday i also noticed when i was at home and a lightning storm was there. that when lightning strikes the alarm also was being triggered.

Another thing is that, when i open the lid like today just once.
I get flooded with messages, like 10- 20 -30 -50 in a row and the lid is just being opened once.

It is connected by a network cable from thats aprox 20 meters, to the mega and on the other and a simple reed relais tube with a magnet.

Is this where debounce comes in because this is a very unreliable thing right now , i even disabled it because not only it is using all my push messages but when im at work my phone is vibrating from the message flood for several minutes...

Thanks


This is what i logged at debug: as being 5 input 5 , the relay.


I have shortened it a bit since it took 20 seconds to scroll down but you get the point haha

I set my debounce to 500 and snub noise on longer cables with a 1uf capacitor. The capacitor is a non-polarized and is located at the board between the input pin and ground. This also may help with the lightning - your 20 meter cable is a long antenna during lightning storms. I would set any associated event to "cannot re-run for" 5 minutes to stop repeated notifications if they were to occur.

[enigmatheatre]

Yes this is exactly what debounce is for. Try and up the time you have set. Do you have it set at 0 as even with the default there should not be that many changes per second. This could also be interface on the 20m cable you have that is causing this. I would also set your event to not retrigger for 1min to stop you getting lots of messages.
