Hello,
last couple of days Iam revorking my automation to mqtt and bunch of sonoff and stuff and so Iam playing with OH2.4 all day long.
It’s kind of working as I need, but it does look like sometimes after restart or some random period time it just start doing strange stuff.
Currently I’m struggling to understand what is going on in here (it was working like 4hours ago) and then after restart it simply put updated variable to min/max instead of actual min/max and not showing anything on FE.
Maybe somebody will spot something smelly, but I kind of can’t
Thanks in advance
items definition:
Number testHumidity "Humidity" <humidity> { channel = "mqtt:homie300:home:garden:air#humidity" }
Number testHumidityMax "Max" <humidity>
Number testHumidityMin "Min" <humidity>
and rule:
rule "Set daily max and min humidity"
when
Item testHumidity changed or
Time cron "0 0 0 * * ?" or
System started
then
val max = testHumidity.maximumSince(now.withTimeAtStartOfDay)
val min = testHumidity.minimumSince(now.withTimeAtStartOfDay)
if (max !== null && min !== null) {
postUpdate(testHumidityMax, max.state)
postUpdate(testHumidityMin, min.state)
}
end
logs:

I think we’d need to know a bit about your persistence setup,it is key. What is your default db (have you changed it to mapdb)? What’s your strategy for this Item?
Isnt persistence only for data which i want to store? I mean, this rule and these items no matter if persisted should be populated by minmax or am wrong? isnt this function just compare data stored in the variable and if bigger/lower then update?
those three test items are not persisted anywhere, but normal “not testing” ones are via:
and indeed there is a group gStoreWeater and gStoreData which contains non-testing humidity (which are faulty as well, that’s why i have created those testing ones)
And I’m using JDBC MariaDB connection. Which if Iam thinking about it might be an issue as i was using mysql persistence before and it worked. But then I’ve read some post that jdb persistence is more stable, hmmm
btw, even out group of which stores data in rules it’s doing something
2019-06-21 21:13:53.610 [WARN ] [jdbc.internal.JdbcPersistenceService] - JDBC::query: try to generate the table for item 'testHumidity'
Ye-es … but … myItem.maximumSince(XX) is a persistence based method.
I mean, think about it; in order to calculate the maximum value since previous time XX someone somewhere has to store the collection of values.
How you had it working by random chance of persistence strategy I don’t know.
Anyway, if you want this to work you’ll need to set up proper persistence for your humidity Item - hourly, everyChange, whatever you want - and then need to make sure your max/min functions use the correct persistence service, either by setting default or specifying in the method.
