Automation script command delay

[xbmcgotham2014 2]

Hi,

Hope someone can assist. I have the attached script made to be triggered to switch on and change certain lights within the room through a home automation box called Homewizard.co.uk however it seems to give random an error. With every run some urls give the following error response, however, it changes, so sometimes the same url is successfully executed and sometimes not when running it again. (please note the url's are working correctly, as I can enter them in an IE browser and execute them without errors.

I have contacted people that know about the Homewizard and they told me that the Home automation box has problems with receiving to much request in a short period of time. So They advice to give after every command a very short pause before going to the next command.

1. So is there a way to add a line of next that would allow me to pause the followup command in the list with x milliseconds?

2. If no pause code can be given in the cinema vision script, is there a way to have the list executed through PHP with a delay? and if so, could someone give me the correct line of code within the PHP script so I can build on that? My knowledge of PHP is limited. :-)

 

The error that is sometimes given:

ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
<aantal regels met KODI files geeft hij terug>
ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine(",))

 

many thanks for any help

Thanks so much guys!! It worked. I added the

sleep://500

code after every action/command and made sure to have an empty row above and below it.

That solved all the errors. :-)

Hello,

I'm not sure if this will work by try placing 

time.sleep(1)

between each of the commands.  This is Python and since the plugin is written in python it might work, I have not personally tried it but give that a test.  The number is within seconds.  Give this a test and let me know.  If it does not work possibly @Ragnarok may know of how to accomplish this.

Hey all! The sleep command needs milliseconds.  Here's a guide for what can currently be done with Actions:

Thanks guys!! Appreciated. :-)

I am going to read through the guide and test is.

 

May I assume that the sleep command will also be on a command line separated by a single line above and below?

 In coding, what would be generally a good amount of milli seconds to start of with while testing?

Hello Gotham,

I would just put it on a new line and it should be good.  I would see if you can find out what the recommended time between commands is from your devices manufacture.  They can tell you so that you can say ok they say wait about half a second, then to be safe I would be just a little over half a second to be on the safe side.  Also a half second is usually a good starting point I find anyway.

Thanks DexDeadly!! I will let you know how it went. :-)
