    Slow response with last beta

    Hi, I'm testing a lot the Arduino plugin, my goal is move all my home automation on this board.

    With .36 plugin version and only one board (normal) connected (Arduino Mega) all work great. I have some events, when I push a button, if related LED is off, the LED switch ON, if it is off, it is switched ON. The LED change status was immediate pushing button.

    Now, added a new board (API), update to last version plugin to solve a problem " "Exception in RecievedText: Exception in RecievedText: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.".
    All works, but sometimes there are a long lags, a delay in response. I push the button and the led change status after 1 or 2 or 3 seconds! Strange. After "stabilization" the response is immediate for some time.

    The API board (connected with a power consumption meter) send a data at maximum every 1 second (when power usage is over 3 KWh).

    I tried:
    Change PC with a new more performance PC ---> no results
    Change OS (win7 --> win8 --> win10) --> no results

    During weekend, I'll tray to disconnect the API board and check response.

    Any ideas?

    Installed latest plugin version (.99) but still have a delay (tested on 2 genuine arduino mega boards)
    The event is simple:
    if the input change status -> then change status (on or off) to the related OUT.
    The delay is random, when there is a delay, the duration of delay arrive up to2 seconds!!!
    This problem stop me to move all my home automation on Arduino and Greig's plugin.

    With 1.0.0.36 version, no delay but I can't use the API plugin version.

    Suggestions?

      I have not encountered any variable delays. I have a specific set of delay tests I run and the round trip for Arduino has always been around 1.5 seconds. I wired an output pin directly to an input pin for the test. The Round trip is measured by turning on an Output, looking at an input to change, then triggering an event that turns the output off, looking for the input to change and then logging the time it takes to do the full cycle. You could extrapolate that there is about half that time in the response to a single input change or output function. I have run the test over a 48 hour period and never got a result outside of the approximate 1.5 second cycle time.

      Greig would have to answer if there is anything that can be done about it, but my results have been consistent throughout the plug-ins development.

      Mine are all Ethernet, so it is possible it could be different on a USB connection, but I would think, if anything, it would be faster on USB.

        My first suggestion would be for you to post your API Sketch that you are using as this may be the problem.

          Thanks rprade and Greig for replay.

          The problem is on the "normal" .ino sketch, not on the API .ino and my arduino board is USB connected.
          In addition, the problem is random!
          I press the button-> delay for 1-2 seconds -> light ON.
          After that for some hours all is ok. Seems to be a "sleep mode" that is deactivated when I wake-up arduino with a command... Already changed PC.
          Now I want to re-test "old" plugin version (.36).
          The problem is not blocking, but is not a good experience push the button, wait a second and have the light ON.

            can you send me a debug log of your setup.

              Strange question but are you using pin 5 or 6 for the input that is slow?

                Greig.
                No. The slow response is on all input. I repeat, the problem is random, slow response is not anytime!
                Now I want to check if the problem could be X10 and rfxcom plugin.
                I remember that I updated your plugin and added a rfxcom plugin to use a "old" marmitek touch panel that send command in X10 RF. I connected an rfxcom usb receiver.
                So, my test are:
                1)-remove rfxcom plugin and receiver
                If not solved
                2)return to your x.36 plugin

                    rprade,
                    are you using some analog input?
                    I'm focusing on these... I have 4 analog pin in my setup and checking log file seems that every second arduino read these pins (plugin set to read analog pins every 3-5 minutes)...

                      There was a bug with the Analog inputs that was stopping the timer working so it was updating to fast. It is fixed in the .101 beta I sent you. The slowest update time is now set to 1 min.

                              Greig, with new beta version, I can confirm the end of any delay.
                              Well done!
