cold boot / reset detection with dummydevice not working

[_Cyber_]

Hi,

I am using ESP_Easy_mega_20210114_normal_ESP32_4M316k on a ESP32

I am trying to determine, if a boot is a cold boot (where all dummydevices come with 0 values) or a reboot (where the dummydevices are preserved).

Code: Select all

on System#Boot do
 if [Boot#Watcher] = 0
  TaskValueSet,1,1,-1
  TaskValueSet,2,1,-1
  TaskValueSet,3,1,-1
  TaskValueSet,4,1,-1
 else
  TaskValueSet,1,1,-2
  TaskValueSet,2,1,-2
  TaskValueSet,3,1,-2
  TaskValueSet,4,1,-2
 endif
endon

Boot#Watcher is a dummydevice with Taskvalue,5, and is set later in code to "-1" as soon as the ESP did some action.

but, altough this dummydevice has -1 before I reboot the ESP with reboot button, I always get the dummydevices 1-4 set to "-1", so it seems like the dummydevice is not filled at the time where the code runs?

Thanks!

What is the task nr of [Boot#watcher] ?
And why do you try to set 4 dummy tasks to these check values?

[_Cyber_]

Boot#watcher is device 5.

I want to determine if the values were preserved and therefore I can trust them (values 0-100 on device 1 to 4) or if there was a boot and reset of all dummydevice values.

[TD-er]

But you're not setting the value of this one.
Or do you set it manually to task 5 in the command textbox (tools page) for testing?

[_Cyber_]

not in this one, I set it in another part of the rules, as soon as I did some action and I am sure I know the state of the dummydevices:

Code: Select all

on Rules#Timer=8 do
 if [Z1#M] = 0 and [Z2#M] = 0 and [Z3#M] = 0 and [SZ#M] = 0
  logentry,"No Movement, Power off"
  gpio,2,1
  TaskValueSet,5,1,-1
 else
  logentry,"Power still needed (SZ#M=[SZ#M] Z1#M=[Z1#M] Z2#M=[Z2#M] Z3#M=[Z3#M])"
  TimerSet,8,1
 endif
endon

so, after all dummydevices are set, Boot#watcher is -1 and I should not match in the if - but I do.

[TD-er]

Just as a test, can you log the value of this boot watcher at boot?
This means you need to watch the logs from boot via serial.

Code: Select all

on System#Boot do
  logentry,"Boot#Watcher: [Boot#Watcher]"
  if [Boot#Watcher] = 0
 ....

have tried now several times - it always says " INIT : Cold Boot", it doesnt matter if i reboot it with the button in web interface or I reboot it with the EN button on the device.

here is a hardware button "EN" push log:

Ah I now notice you are running on ESP32.
The RTC is not yet been implemented on ESP32 in ESPEasy.

I totally missed the ESP32 you mentioned in the start post.

thanks, that explains it.
