Time Trigger Never Firing

Post by g00pee » 19 Aug 2013 17:12

have a time trigger and I can't get this trigger to fire at the prescribed time at all. Most of the time my device is off during this time trigger. No log on it, just never fires. Is this a known bug?

Device spends most of it's off time in 192 mhz, low cpu, but not in "deep sleep".

Hi,

Can you please post your flow so I can check if there is something wrong in the flow-definition?
Did you check some of the weekdays?

Regards,
Martin

I had no day checked, didn't realize it was required, thanks so much. Last quick question, can I get {Trigger} value in a trigger flow I build easily for on screen notification? I'm getting "NULL" back. Is this a GLEEOO only value?

You can use {trigger} to show the name of the trigger in a flow. Variables are case sensitive. There is also a menu 'Select Variable' when editing an action that shows all potentially available variables and copies the variable to the clipboard.

Thanks Martin for the help. I missed the case sensitivity and didn't know about the variable list. I tried searching the forums but there are so many constraints on the searches that I had difficulty pulling answers. I'm loving this. Moved from tasker after dozens of hours of work redoing my tasks constantly. I've got mine working better than I had with tasker now, with only 2-3 days of casual effort. This is killer app! I'm a fan!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it :D

There's also a short tutorial on the website to create a simple flow using a variable with some date formatting: Creating the first flow. The help page of action script contains the description of more advanced scripting stuff: Action Script.

The search function of the forum software seems to be extremely limited right now, it's on my list of things to tweak when I find some time.
