How do i make the TaskValueSet of a dummy device persist after reboot

#1 Post by ufumes » 17 Aug 2018, 18:07

I created a dummy device , I was able to succesfully assign data to it, and i consumed the assigned data successfully too. The problem is that when i restart the espeasy device, the assigned data seems to get reset. Is there a way to make it persist in memory?

thanks

If you use MQTT you can have the broker resend it if you have "retained" option active.

Then you need to rely on whatever controller you're using. In the future we are thinking about implementing a secondary EEPROM for storing such info/values.

I see uservalues are stored in RTC memory. Is possible store TaskValueSet there too?

Yes. I checked my Sonoff Basic running ESP_Easy_mega-20190409_normal_ESP8285_1M.bin; I used TaskValueSet to change the value of a Generic - Dummy Device and the value persisted after a warm reboot.

Hi,
I solved it that way for me. Repeated watchdog reboots permanently delete all shutter positions.
I use a Raspbery (I use Raspberymatic for other tasks. the ESP controls "only" the shutters.) and send my data to the controller. After a reboot of the ESP, the Pi receives
a message and sends all data with Http Get commands to the ESP. The same can be done with a second ESP.
Send all data with "sendTo" from ESP1 to ESP2. (and from ESP2 to ESP1 for data synchronization).
Then restore data automatically after reboot. Set up a few DummyDevices and a few rules and everything is safe. (almost everything).
Greetings Martin
