iTach Getting Very Unreliable

I've been using this awesome plugin for years, but it seems like the past couple of releases haven't worked well for me. I'm having to restart my plugin at least two or three times a week, and I get this error pretty reliably. Is there something I need to do to get my system to settle down?

Code: Select all
   Cynical Caché Error             in sendIR: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../Server Plugin/cyin/debugging.py", line 58, in diagnostic_log
    yield
  File ".../Server Plugin/cyin/debugging.py", line 68, in diagnose_call
    return method(*args, **kwargs)
  File ".../Server Plugin/irdev.py", line 123, in sendIR
    self.gcdev.emit(symbol, action.count)
  File ".../Server Plugin/ir/gcache/gcdev.py", line 122, in emit
    task.transmit()                        # start transmission
  File ".../Server Plugin/ir/gcache/gcdev.py", line 50, in transmit
    self.seq = self.dev._transmit(self.ir, self.repeat)
  File ".../Server Plugin/ir/gcache/gcdev.py", line 149, in _transmit
    "%d,%d,%d,%d,%s" % (seq, ir.carrier, count, offset, ','.join(map(xlate, pulses))))
  File ".../Server Plugin/ir/gcache/gcdev.py", line 82, in command
    self.hostdev.command(','.join([cmd, self.address] + map(str, args)))
  File ".../Server Plugin/ir/gcache/gcnet.py", line 131, in command
    self.hostdev.write(cmd + '\r')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'

Not the same error but mine goes unresponsive at times. I’ve just included a restart of the plugin everyday in one of my daily ‘morning’ schedules. Seems to be working so far.

Re: iTach Getting Very Unreliable

What are you using to restart yours? I'm doing the same but always curious to see what others are doing.

Sorry meant to reply sooner but work got in the way lol.

I use the embedded python script as an action group:

plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("org.cynic.indigo.gcnet")
if plugin.isEnabled():
plugin.restart()

Yea, that's the only way to do it programmatically, I just didn't know if you were doing some kind of test condition or just restarting it on a schedule.

Just on a schedule. Although I have noticed that when it does go wonky the status of the itach devices goes from ‘ready’ to ‘trying’ (not a 100% sure but I think that’s what it says)
