Problem saving Task/Plugin settings

[raihei]

Hi all,

I have some problems saving some configuration/values
Build: ESPEasy_v2.0.0-dev12

In a custom devices plugin when a command (http://ip/control?cmd=rgb,off) is received I try to save a value to retain it when the ESP is powered off.

Code: Select all

Settings.TaskDevicePluginConfigLong[event->TaskIndex][2] = rgbvalue;

When I read back this value directly after saving it via

Code: Select all

Serial.println(Settings.TaskDevicePluginConfigLong[event->TaskIndex][2]);

it shows the right (saved) value.

But when powered back on and I try to restore the value in the "PLUGIN_INIT", it is always zero

Code: Select all

case PLUGIN_INIT:
      {
        LoadTaskSettings(event->TaskIndex);
        Serial.println(Settings.TaskDevicePluginConfigLong[event->TaskIndex][2]);
        rgbvalue = Settings.TaskDevicePluginConfigLong[event->TaskIndex][2];
        ...
        success = true;
        break;
      }

Am I doing something wrong, or is it not supposed to work like that?

I also tried to add SaveTaskSettings, but the value is still not saved...

Code: Select all

Settings.TaskDevicePluginConfigLong[event->TaskIndex][2] = rgbvalue;
SaveTaskSettings(event->TaskIndex);

Is there another way to retain a value while powering off the device?

regards
raihei

I think "Settings.TaskDevicePluginConfigLong" does not save to flash! So you are saving/reading just from memory.

You can try this....

SaveCustomTaskSettings(event->TaskIndex, (byte*)&rgbvalue , sizeof(rgbvalue ));
LoadCustomTaskSettings(event->TaskIndex, (byte*)&rgbvalue , sizeof(rgbvalue ));

Thank you very much vader, that worked for me!
