Hi all, I am controlling my boiler with a NodeMCU 12-E and a 4 relay board. Another NodeMCU and relay board senses house thermostat. My web dashboard is working and controls the system.

Problems I am having:

1. The app crashes when I change widget settings. The actuator widgets are inaccurate often and do not work.

2. The triggers are not firing as expected. “Sensor above” and “sensor below” are difficult to understand. My trigger “House thermostat: Set (Boiler Out > 180)” is supposed to simulate the house thermostat turning on if the boiler is over 180. It has never run, even though the temperature has been over 180.

3. I am notified that the board has disconnected every day. I’m not sure whether it was my internet connection. This morning I had to reset my router. But, later it disconnected but never told me that it reconnected.

The app crashes when I change widget settings.

i have taken note of this issue.

The actuator widgets are inaccurate often and do not work.

i was not able to reproduce this at my end. the actuator works fine. If you will any issue try restarting th app, wait for the device on the device list to be highlighted, then open and use it.

it seems you have multiple triggers for the same case. Also, you are sending data too much, creating trigger flood. Have a look at this code and change your code accordingly so that data is sent only once when the trigger limit is crossed.

Sending MQTT messages within notification limit

notification trigger (SMS and email) are currently limited to 90 per day. the trigger activates every time the device publish a message above the set threshold. To avoid publish message flood and causing the trigger to run continuously and hit the 90 limit quickly use the following code for sending only once notification trigger when the threshold is crossed. For actuator trigger, there is no limit and there is no need to use the code but it is good practice to use as it. Using Cayenne-MQTT-Ard…

i guess you have hit SMS limit for your device.

if you are changing the code, then I would suggest you create a new device and add new trigger (delete all the old ones)
