MMM-Nest-Status - New module for your Nest thermostats and protect smoke detectors!

@nhl in my Other Permissions Away read is greyed out.

[michael5r]

@costascontis It shouldn’t matter - I don’t use the Away read setting in this module. The settings that matter are the ones directly tied to the thermostat and smoke detectors.

[costascontis]

@michael5r my Thermostat read is greyed out too …is that matter?

[michael5r]

@costascontis No, that’s fine - directly below you’ve enabled read/write, so that supersedes the standalone read setting.

found some time to debug why module stops updating.I think it has something to do with my on/off monitor function.I use Motion to turn on my mm tv when movement detected by sending a “/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p ; sudo chvt 6 ; sudo chvt 7” command.After 5 min with no motion detected it power off my tv sending a “on_event_end /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p”.I think that after some time of power off monitor the module’s update function breaks.All other modules i use they work and updating fine all the time.

EDIT: ignore all of the above,even when my screen is on the module stops updating after a few hours…I dont know what else to try…maybe some other module causing this?Is it possible?

EDIT 2: I opened the console at the developers tools inside mm and i notished that from the moment MMM-NEST-STATUS module starts spams with notifications clock and calendar modules like that

clock received a module notification: MMM_NEST_STATUS_UPDATE from sender: mmm-nest-status
calendar received a module notification: MMM_NEST_STATUS_UPDATE from sender: mmm-nest-status

until it stops and stop updating the nest status also.Is that normal?

[costascontis]

@michael5r after hours of tests i found out that if i use default clock and calendar module then after a few minutes nest module stop updating.If i dont use clock/calendar and comment them at config.js then nest module is working fine for days.I am not a developer but i suspect that has something to do with notifications between these modules…

Yes, that’s totally normal. The mmm-nest-status module is broadcasting a notification to all modules saying that data is available - it’s how the socket notification system works.

I’ll see if I can recreate this with those modules - thanks for the doing the debugging!

@michael5r just asking…why nest-status need to send notifications to other modules ?

mmm-nest-status isn’t sending a notification directly to other modules, it’s sending a global notification.

But seeing that all modules listen for these notifications, the notification will also reach modules that don’t need or use it (which is where the console log you showed comes from - it’s basically all modules saying “I received a socket notification”, but it doesn’t mean they actually do anything with it).

That’s just how the magic mirror socket system works - every module that broadcasts data or status does this.
