INFO WebException: Timeout The operation has timed out.

[PCK]

spud, Got a question for you. I have both 8" and 10" Fire tablets installed running the same IH configuration file and I discovered that only the 8" tablets are experiencing the timeouts. So my question, is it possible I am over taxing the processor in these tablets, resulting in the intermittent timeouts I'm experiencing? The 8" tablets (Fire HD 8, 6th Generation) have a Quad core 1.3 GHz processor and the 10" tablets (Fire HD 10, 7th Generation) have an Octa-core 2.0 GHz processor.

If you believe this to be the case, how would you like for me to prove or disprove this theory? Would there be some debug log info that would benefit here?

The error is intermittent, in that it varies on the device and time of day. I've even tried waking up the tablet first before issuing the Go to Dashboard command thinking the tablet may have been taking too much time to wakeup. Below is a snippet of my logs showing the variability of the error.

I roll my screens on 10 minute increments and the screens sleep 5 minutes after they roll unless they are activated by motion or touch to wake them up.

spud, I finally had time to re-address the Web Exxception timeout issue here, it seems to have returned, or just never left. Where is the mentioned timeout setting in the config file, I can't seem to find it.

I have never made the timeout setting configurable. It's hardcoded as 3 seconds.
Do you always get this error? Can you pinpoint what triggers it exactly?

I agree with Tomgru, the WebExceptions have been cleared up, I have not seen any in 2 days where I was seeing them numerous times throughout the day.

I also found a couple sensors that were in IH that had blank device mapping which cleared up the PollSensorDevices error I was seeing. So we're running smooth. Thanks Spud

[Tomgru]

My system has been working perfectly since the change!!!!!! Thanks Spud!

spud I'm getting this message, before and now after .34 This is with info logging.

ERROR PollSensorDevices: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I'll turn on log to file, can you tell me where this log is stored and what size it will grow to? If I don't watch the size of this file it's going to fill up my disk with the # of devices I have running through IH.

You probably have a sensor that reference a device that no longer exist in your system. Check the sensor tab in the Config and try to find one where the device mapping is blank.

the log file is written to Logs/ImperiHome.txt
there is no maximum size, so it can grow pretty large if you let log to file enabled for a long period of time.

FYI, I've also updated to 3.0.0.34 and I'll report my findings also

[Tomgru]

it's already in the Beta section, I just tried and successfully installed it.

why yes it is. if I was only actually looking in the beta section :-(

will report back.

[spud]

Any idea when the new version will post in the beta section?

thanks!

In version 3.0.0.34 I fixed a possible problem with the Control API, and I added the name of the device in the logs.
Please test and let me know.

thanks

[spud]

I can add the name of the device in the error, so that you can know for which device it times out. I can also make the timeout configurable (it is currently set to 3 seconds) but I doubt increasing it would solve this problem.
Did you try to add a small wait action between each "View Camera" and "Go To dashboard page" action?

You can ignore the HttpListenerException you see, it has nothing to do with your issue.
