Indigo Domotics

getting the following in Cynical Behaviors on startup...

May be unrelated, but the Update LEDs does not seem to update KPL leds to match the corresponding device states...

Do you get the error if you choose the Plugins->Cynical Behaviors->Reload menu item? The problem might just be that the plugin is loading before Indigo has completed connecting to the Insteon PowerLinc.

Ha! brilliant.

So how do I delay startup of the plugin?

I would also love to know how to delay a plug-in startup (if possible)….

That has been discussed before.

Conclusion in principle :
Has to be done within in the plugin.

Indigo does not offer a start/stop plugin command. Only a reload.

you could though have a script that reloads the plugin a minute after indigo starts.
You would still get the error messages the first time the plugin loads.

So could I go in and add a step in the first few lines of the plug-in to count to 5000 or more (in a loop) before it continues or will that slow down everything Indigo is doing?

add:

in

Code: Select all

.   def startup(self):
        self.sleep(60.)

make sure you have the right indent (4 spaces vs 1 tab )

Karl

Thanks Karl - I’ll try tomorrow

Hmm, thought it was dirt on my screen but it is a period or dot as the first character - is that supposed to be in there?

No dot
Sorry

first one w tabs, the second w 4 spaces they look identical, but mixing tabs and space will make the plugin not run.

Wont this blow up the plugin with a timeout? Thought you couldn't do long sleeps in a plugin...

I believe the time out is only for script executed within Indigo, NOT for external scripts and not for plugins. they can sleep as long as you like

I tried 20000 seconds in a plugin and no complains


Karl

Wanted to try this but not smart enough to be sure what file I should put it in - is the first file a plug-in runs always called plugin.py

Should I put it in as the very first item before the import time line?

Thanks for any further help

Replace
def startup():

In plugin.py

With the posted lines

def startup():
self.sleep(60.)

With the proper indents.
