[XTension] XT and Hubitat (C-8) - units get out of sync

[Brian Williams]

Hi James,

I created a refresh command:

tell xUnit "MidBR Dimmer" to sendDeviceCommand("refresh")

and it worked to re-sync,

But then I compared the transmitted message of my command with XT's Query transmission – and as you would know, they were exactly the same!

As I played with it, I discovered that the HE seems to get bogged down and becomes slow to perform the given tasks, though they seem to sit in a queue. At times, when a light wasn't responding to an off command, I toggled in XT several times, and watched as nothing happened...then up a minute or more later, the light reacted with several toggles.

I have decided to turn off the Polling app in the HE and having XT do a routine polling (every 5 minutes for now). We'll see how that works out. I had found that various lamps have remained ON overnight, despite my XT scripts commanding them off. The HE Polling app won't poll wall devices (plug in dimmers and switches), but my XT Query routine, of course, can.

I am watching the Z-Wave log in the HE, and it does appear that XT's commands are arriving and being recorded the instant that XT sends them, so the delays are deep within the HE.

I will keep you posted.

Regards,  Brian
