Reducing Item updates (and thus log entries) caused by a Modbus TCP energy meter

[marco_hoefle (Marco Höfle)]

Version 4.1.0
It is only a startup warning, the throttling seems to work now. When changing the .rb file I do see the reload message in the log:

08:33:58.264 [INFO ] [port.loader.AbstractScriptFileWatcher] - (Re-)Loading script '/openhab/conf/automation/ruby/throttle_updates_profile.rb'

The message after starting OH4.1:

08:32:44.831 [WARN ] [e.thing.internal.CommunicationManager] - No ProfileFactory found which supports profile 'ruby:throttle_updates' for link 'Lueftung_Airflow -> knx:device:bridge:lueftung_fast_poll:Lueftung_Airflow

It is only a startup warning, the throttling seems to work now. When changing the .rb file I do see the reload message in the log:

That’s because the item loaded before the script / profile was loaded. You could try loading the script at a lower startlevel, by placing it inside:
conf/automation/ruby/sl30/

It may still not be early enough, because items would still be loaded first, but at least it will load before any other automation scripts you may have.
