[Solved] Rules performed at wrong time after power failure

---

Hi,

yesterday I had a power failure and after power was up again an booting my rules are performed at wrong times.
Here are my rules to turn the light on and off for my fish tanks:

{
  "id": "aquarium-wohnzimmer-an",
  "name": "Aquarium Wohnzimmer an",
  "rule": "if its 9am or its 4pm then turn FSD Aquarium WZ on",
  "active": true,
  "logging": true
},
{
  "id": "aquarium-wohnzimmer-aus",
  "name": "Aquarium Wohnzimmer aus",
  "rule": "if its 11am or 9:30pm then turn FSD Aquarium WZ off",
  "active": true,
  "logging": true
},
{
  "id": "aquarium-gastezimmer-an",
  "name": "Aquarium Gästezimmer an",
  "rule": "if its 9am or its 4pm then turn FSD Aquarium GZ on",
  "active": true,
  "logging": true
},
{
  "id": "aquarium-gastezimmer-aus",
  "name": "Aquarium Gästezimmer aus",
  "rule": "if its 11am or 9:30pm then turn FSD Aquarium GZ off",
  "active": true,
  "logging": true
},

And here are the messages for the rules today:

info [pimatic]: rule aquarium-wohnzimmer-aus: turned FSD Aquarium WZ off 12:16:39
info [pimatic]: rule aquarium-gastezimmer-aus: turned FSD Aquarium GZ off 12:16:38
info [pimatic]: rule aquarium-wohnzimmer-an: turned FSD Aquarium WZ on 10:16:39
info [pimatic]: rule aquarium-gastezimmer-an: turned FSD Aquarium GZ on 10:16:39

But, as already shown in the messages log, the system date/time and timezone is correct:

# date
Mo 9. Mai 12:25:05 CEST 2016

Any suggestions?

Thx, Martin

strange! did you reboot the pi again? maybe this helps?!
you can also use the 24h time format in your rules like IF its 11:00 or 21:30 THEN turn FSD Aquarium GZ off, so no need for am and pm

Today everything works fine again and the switches are switched at the right time.
I didn’t reboot or change anything.

Really strange, but we will never know why, I guess…

Hello,

yesterday I had to shutdown my Pi3+ (Raspbian Stretch) and add some DHT22 after 2-3 hours I booted the Pi again. After this my rules are performed at wrong times. The same issue like MartinH.

With my Pi2 (Raspbian Jessie) I had never issues like this only with Raspbian Stretch.

{
      "id": "bright-sun-i-21-50-uhr",
      "name": "Bright Sun I 21:50 Uhr ",
      "rule": "when its 21:50 then turn bright-sun-i off",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },
    {
      "id": "bright-sun-ii-22-uhr",
      "name": "Bright Sun II 22 Uhr",
      "rule": "when its 22:00 then turn bright-sun-ii off",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },


00:29:03.976 [pimatic] info: rule bright-sun-i-21-50-uhr: Bright Sun I ausgeschaltet
00:39:03.996 [pimatic] info: rule bright-sun-ii-22-uhr: Bright Sun II ausgeschaltet

Date/time and the timezone is correct and i use the 24h time format.
I don’t know why it not work correct and sry for my bad english…

Best regards,

What does

date

give you, when you type it in the bash?

pi@GeckoPi:~ $ date
Fr 30. Mär 10:30:12 CEST 2018

date/time and timezone are correct.
Thx for your fast response

@techsolo12 This looks like an issue with the cron scheduler. At what time did you power-up your system?

At 21:27 i started the Pi.

@techsolo12 said in [Solved] Rules performed at wrong time after power failure:

At 21:27 i started the Pi.

Thanks. I’ll try to reproduce the case after the Easter holidays.

Please, also report whether or not rules are triggered in the next cycle at the expected times.

@mwittig Okay i do my best.
Thx you for help and happy Easter
