Indigo Domotics

Forgive me if this has been answered.

How fo you have a timer state survive a reboot.

I don't believe there is a good/simple solution to this. Currently upon server startup all device Timers are reset to the inactive state. I'll talk to Jay and we'll consider adding a device level property, like "Preserve timer status across restarts", that let's the user specify at the device level what behavior they want.

Thanks Matt,

Managing occupancy triggers is my crtical use case for timers. Having the timers survive a power flicker is important.

Workaaround is using variables ofcourse.

A better workaround is to put the Indigo server on a UPS.

In pibeacon plugin nothing gets set to off in the first 90 seconds after start of plugin.

That should cover any restart reboot timing issues.

Has this ever been resolved?

On restart Timers are reset to the inactive state.
This triggers a few actions for me.
Problem is that the external plugins are not loaded yet so I get errors.

I prevent the errors using Event Timer Expired in my triggers.
However I do somehow want to trigger my actions when the external plugins are loaded and set to inactive.

So: Timer Test Active > Restart > Trigger Timer Test > Execute Action External Plugin

We haven't done any work on this. TBH, the priority is quite low compared to many other things.
