FIXED: Bug with node-red-contrib-cron-plus?

LondonBenji · May 14, 2022, 8:33am

Hey all,

I am using Cron-Plus on Node-Red within Home Assistant and I’m running into an issue which I believe might be a bug. First up, versions:

Raspberry Pi: 4b/8GB
Home Assistant OS: 7.6
Home Assistant Core: 2022.4.5
Node-RED (Home Assistant ‘Add-On’): 11.1.2 (shows in Home Assistant) / 2.2.2 (shows within Node-RED)
node-red-contrib-cron-plus: 1.5.6

tl;dr - Cron-Plus only triggers the ‘Call Service’ nodes on their respective solar event outputs once through one cycle of all solar events configured, and will never trigger them again until I “refresh” by forcing a ‘Deploy’.

NOTE: Some of the data in here was captured on a different day while writing up this post.

Quick explanation of what I am doing/attempting to do, I use a Cron-Plus node with each of the solar events (even ones I don’t use) configured individually as separate static schedules as seen below (my screen resolution is low so only two are visible but you get the idea). I have them all fanned out into separate outputs where I connect various Home Assistant ‘Call Service’ nodes to execute things at certain times.

The trouble I am having is that it seems that Cron-Plus will hit the ‘Call Service’ nodes on each of the outputs as expected when going through the various solar events but once and only once. After going through all of the solar events once, the ‘Call Service’ nodes are never triggered again the next day when expected.

Here is an example of when all of the solar events have already been triggered once and today, were not triggered again. I highlighted the wire for a particular solar event (Sunset Start) where you can see it has already passed but the ‘Call Service’ node still shows yesterday’s date and time and wasn’t triggered. Prior to this the Cron-Plus node had the correct next date and time shown underneath as expected for the Sunset Start event.

If I do anything so that I can push the ‘Deploy’ button for Node-RED, even making zero changes by moving a node’s position, then moving it back and pressing ‘Deploy’, Cron-Plus will work again once through all solar events, triggering the ‘Call Service’ nodes as expected and then stop working again as before.

Here is everything fresh after pushing ‘Deploy’ having not yet reached their respective solar event time, note that ‘Call Service’ nodes weirdly don’t normally say “No Connection” for their status if the corresponding ‘Inject’ node on the input to the Cron-Plus node is not there, instead after a Deploy the status of the ‘Call Service’ nodes without the inject nodes just keeps the date and time of when they were last triggered:

As you can see I have a web of stuff around the Cron-Plus node to try and test/gather some debug information. I have a separate inject node on the input configured so that I can manually trigger each individual solar event schedule output, these also do not work and do not trigger the relevant ‘Call Service’ as expected after I would consider Cron-Plus to be “dead” however, oddly again the message debug I put in place on the output of Cron-Plus does see something:

You’ll also notice that I have a debug wired to every single solar event static schedule output. What’s weird is that the debug node sees the message output from the Cron-Plus node at the time expected for that solar event, even after I would consider ‘Cron-Plus’ to be dead however, the respective ‘Call Service’ node on the output is never triggered, here are two of those solar event outputs from the debug node when I would consider Cron-Plus to be dead and I still see the output from Cron-Plus, but the corresponding ‘Call Service’ node doesn’t trigger:

In addition, I have three injects with commands to ‘List Active’, ‘List Inactive’, and ‘Start All’ respectively. Once all solar events have passed, pressing the ‘List Inactive’ injection and checking the command output shows that there are no inactive schedules, pressing ‘List Active’ shows that they are all active, if I press ‘Start All’ as a different attempt to see if I could get it to start working again as expect (V.S. “refreshing” via a ‘Deploy’) doesn’t work. Here are the command outputs from the debug node connected to the command output of Cron-Plus when pressing these after I would consider Cron-Plus to be dead:

So I am at a loss here, I have tried various settings within the Cron-Plus node, e.g. I originally thought it might have been caused by an offset I was using on one of the solar event schedules that would essentially push it past the next expected solar event, so I removed that offset, no different. I tried checking the ‘Persist Dynamic Schedules’ option even though I know these are considered static schedules, no difference. I tried specifically setting the ‘Timezone’ instead of leaving blank for “none/system”, made no difference either.

Is it a problem with the Cron-Plus node or the Call Service nodes? Since the output debug node shows the output from Cron-Plus but the Call Service node doesn’t trigger? But I have other Call Service nodes that will work continuously as expected without needing to be “refreshed” such as the ‘Night Mode’ Call Service node connected to the “9:30PM Daily Night Mode” injection. Then again, the manual inject nodes on the input side of Cron-Plus also can’t trigger the Call Service nodes, through Cron-Plus, on the corresponding output, after Cron-Plus itself is no longer able to as well. Why do these specific Call Service nodes attached to Cron-Plus stop responding?

Your help is sincerely appreciated as having to manually “refresh” Cron-Plus each night kinda defeats the purpose. Please let me know what you need, what you want me to do, anything to get this resolved.

I don’t know what to tell you about cron plus. The sun2 component for HA has many additional sensor than the original sun component. The sensors trigger everyday without any need to reset them.

WallyR · May 14, 2022, 6:54pm

I think your solar events are full timestamps which means that they have date included also and therefore is triggered only on that date its set.

Use the Sun2 component Mikefila refers to.
It has all the events you could possible need and it updates everyday, so the sensors will trigger the flows again.

I am fairly much a rank amateur with Node-red, but I do use CronPlus (for scheduled and dynamic events) and find it is bursting with features and works absolutely for me, and according to the instructions.
I don’t use ‘CallService’, however what I have learnt about Node-Red is that it sends a message from one node to the next. This is mostly ‘msg.payload’ but what that actually is varies from node type to node type. The message is often much more than just a ‘kick’ to the next node to do its thing.
CronPlus - I know - fires off a message payload which is an object full of interesting facts about the event it has just triggered. At sunset (or whatever) this will be buckets of data about sunset.
Call service, according to the ‘info’ pannel, requires an input message payload with loads of details about what it wants in order to work. I quote “If the incoming message has a payload.data that is an object or parsable into an object these properties will be merged with any config values set.”
In other words, if CronPlus sends out something that CallService thinks is interesting, CallService will try and read it. Even if it is not exactly what you wanted to say.
I do know that CronPlus a) sends messages when it ‘fires’ at an event, and b) also sends messages when ‘kicked’ by sending in a message eg status -all. I use that a lot.

I would like to suggest (but I may be completely wrong here) that what you need is a change node between CronPlus and CallService, that responds to an incoming message (as an ‘event’ in time, nothing more) and adjusts the msg.payload to be in the format (removes the payload and replaces it with information) required by CallService.

Also, you probably don’t need to have a speparate event for sunset, dusk, dawn, golden hour… I have ONE scheduled event which has TWO solar events, and no fanning. Both events pop out of the one output (at different times obviously) and I can tell which is which by looking at the message details, using a switch node as required to process either accordingly.

I like CronPlus. No bugs, loads of features, works for me every time!

LondonBenji · May 16, 2022, 12:41am

Thanks @Mikefila and @WallyR, I will check it out. Always good to have options!

@Biscuit good write up! That’s for the most part how I use nodes in Node-RED, I don’t really care too much about the msg.payload, I just use them as triggers for other nodes to do something.

There are times when I do specifically look at the msg.payload or another output, indeed I actually use a Switch node to make decisions based on the input it receives and I considered doing that with Cron Plus without fanning out to different outputs. The reason I didn’t and fanned out the outputs instead was two fold:

The Switch is an extra redundant node and I like to keep things as simple as possible, since I can just directly connect the Call Service nodes to the outputs from Cron Plus anyway.
I have slightly more flexibility fanning the outputs, such as being able to use individual offsets for the various solar events. Not that there aren’t ways of doing this after a Switch node but that might require even more nodes and again, I like to keep things as simple as possible in Node-RED.

If the Call Service nodes are the problem, why do they respond the first time around at all and not consequent rounds after that? I have loads of other Call Service nodes that respond repeatedly, it’s only the ones attached to the Cron Plus node.

Let’s be clear, Cron Plus is amazing, it is an incredibly powerful node and has an extreme amount of flexibility.

Mikefila · May 16, 2022, 5:10am

They will output to the debug why. You can use a catch node to log the error. In catch select the call service node that fails.

Thank you! I shall give that a shot! Doing the below does not produce any output to debug:

Will report back in 24 hours!

Mikefila · May 16, 2022, 5:42pm

Set your debug nodes to complete msg object. This will show the complete output, not just what is in the payload position.

LondonBenji · May 20, 2022, 1:35am

Welp, no debug messages from either debug node, nothing logged by the catch node, nothing at all. Those specific Call Service nodes just completely stop working after they have individually been trigger once.

I checked my ‘HAOS/config/’ directory and it hasn’t even created the ‘www’ subfolder nor seemingly placed the ‘call_service_errors.txt’ file anywhere else as far as I can tell.

I have set the deploy to ‘Modified Nodes’ only, tried moving only a Call Service node attached to the Cron Plus node and doing a deploy, made no difference, I have tried moving only the Cron Plus node and doing a deploy, still no difference.

I will try setting the deploy ‘Modified Flows’ only and seeing if that’ll be enough to kick it off for one cycle again. I am also going to add a notification to my phone on the outputs of Cron Plus to see if it’ll continue to notify my phone through more than one cycle.

Otherwise is the any more I can do to debug why these Call Service nodes will only trigger once?

WallyR · May 20, 2022, 2:06am

If that is the answer to the picture with a debug node attached to the Solar Events, then the error is in the solar events and not in the call service nodes.

And always do a full deploy when debugging, so you are sure the nodes you see in NR is also the ones that are producing the messages and actions on your devices.

LondonBenji · May 20, 2022, 2:49am

On prior tests, I had the debug attached before the Call Service Nodes, directly to the Cron Plus outputs and the Call Service nodes didn’t trigger (after the first cycle when they do) but the debug node did catch outputs from Cron Plus:

{"triggerTimestamp":1652404546097,"status":{"type":"static","modified":false,"isRunning":true,"count":2,"limit":0,"nextDescription":"sunsetStart in 1 day 38 seconds","nextDate":"2022-05-14T01:16:24.706Z","nextDateTZ":"May 13, 2022, 20:16:24 CDT","timeZone":"America/North_Dakota/Center","serverTime":"2022-05-13T01:15:46.109Z","serverTimeZone":"America/Chicago","description":"Solar Events: 'sunsetStart'","solarState":{"state":"Day","direction":"fall","day":true,"night":false,"astrologicalTwilight":false,"nauticalTwilight":false,"civilTwilight":false,"goldenHour":true,"twilight":false,"morningTwilight":false,"eveningTwilight":false,"dawn":false,"dusk":false,"morningGoldenHour":false,"eveningGoldenHour":true},"solarTimes":[{"event":"sunsetStart","time":"2022-05-14T01:16:24.706Z","timeOffset":"2022-05-14T01:16:24.706Z"}],"solarEvent":"sunsetStart"},"config":{"topic":"Sunset Start","name":"Sunset Start","payloadType":"default","payload":"","limit":null,"expressionType":"solar","solarType":"selected","solarEvents":"sunsetStart","location":"32.769474 -96.855274","offset":"0"}}

Also note that prior to this I was doing full deploys and that will cause everything to work again, once.

Going back to one of yours and Mike’s previous suggestions, since I’ve been trying to work this out for the past few months or so, I just noticed that ‘node-red-contrib-sunevents v3.0’ now also covers everything I need as well. So if I can’t get this going by Sunday, or at the very least get useful information out of something to help someone pinpoint the issue, I’ll try swapping out Cron Plus for Sun Events 3.0 and seeing if that works.

Biscuit · May 22, 2022, 1:09pm

Well, out of interest and for amusement rather than need I created a simple Cron Plus and HA call service setup, with several single/multiple sun-time events connected to turn on (and after a delay) turn off a TP Kasa plug/socket I have in the house (golden hour, sunset, civil dusk etc).This has operated without fault for several days. Not that helpful I know but I have to report “it works for me”.

I did check out the msg.payload from Cron Plus, which for sun events is something the size of a small novel. This passes completely through the service call node intact. I can assume that Cron Plus and service call are both working, and that the msg.payload does not impact the service call, but that this reinforces for me the need to always check what is actually moving between the nodes.

So - my assumption is that problem is that your ‘call service’ node is firing once and then failing because of connection issues with Home Assistant. Digging around in the HA Community posts suggests that this is not uncommon (for the call service node) and that every thread I have found ends without an answer. Not helpful either…

However, I did find https://zachowj.github.io/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/guide/#prerequisites which does contain a lot of very useful information on how to set up and use the Home Assistant companion nodes from Node Red.

I have Node Red running on the same kit as HA, so for me this has been a simple case of installing Node Red and Node Red Companion (add on) and it all works. As Node Red runs as a separate program (either on the same kit or different kit) it has to connect to Home Assistant via a WebSocket. For me, using the NR Companion, this was all set up in the background, but the documentation covers how to set up the necessary ‘config node’ to connect to the HA server. It also covers how to gerenate the necessary long-term token for this to work.

As I also run my Node Red prototypes on a different instance (Raspberry Pi) I have had to set up an API call from there to my HA to get entity state values, and for this I needed to ensure connection to the HA server (at the correct IP / localhost address) and generate the correct long-term token.
I am wondering if you have the correct and up to date instance of Node Red / Companion, if you have setup the HA service config node correctly, and if you have the correct long-term token? Are you runing on different hardware, and if so is the WebSocket connection via a router/firewall? I suspect that being on the same machine, problems with firewalls, keep-alive and the such like are non-existant.

I have so little experience with these ‘websocket’ and API things that I cannot be of any further assistance but it seems it would be useful to have something like a simple ‘ping node’ that would show if the connection is alive or not, and perhaps help with debugging when it is not working! If you look at ‘global context’ in Node Red you should find a ‘home assistant’ variable (object) which contains all the entities and services, and also a ‘isConnected’ and ‘isRunning’ boolean. Mine are always ‘yes’ so I don’t know under what circumstances these are ‘no’, but I wonder if they answer the question ‘is the HA websocket connection working’.

PS - the documentation I found also includes a cookbook section, with how to turn on/off a light at sunset/sunrise, and all without any sun-time based nodes. Interesting…

https://zachowj.github.io/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/cookbook/sun-events.html#option-1

I can’t help but wonder if you have a ‘short term’ token that lasts once/for one day, rather than a long-term token, which could explain why it works once (regenerated at deployment) and then stops. Just a hunch.

LondonBenji · May 22, 2022, 9:29pm

Thank you for testing this out, it means a lot, along with everyone else trying to help me out with this.

You’ve highlighted some interesting things. Keep in mind that HA and NR are all running on the same RPi, all using the official HAOS image and installing NR through the official HA add-on store, it’s all by the book using the stock functions of HAOS, so NR is running in the HAOS container system as it was designed.

That being said, this is an HAOS install that originated sometime in early 2021 and has been upgraded through the year+ since, so maybe something has gotten mixed up along the way through updates.

It’s increasingly apparent that this issue is something very particular to my setup between Cron-Plus and the Call Service nodes. I haven’t touched or changed the default Home Assistant Server node but here is how it currently configured according to Node-RED, though I am not sure what the Node-RED companion is:

The point about the long live token is interesting, it would make sense if the normal tokens only last 24 hours. My only thing about this is that all other Call Service nodes not connected to Cron-Plus work like clockwork, no failures, no issues, no intermittent issues and there are a lot of them (again yes my resolution sucks so I have to zoom out):

There are Call Service nodes on every single flow tab that I have and they all work flawlessly, it’s only the Call Service nodes that are connected to the Cron-Plus node that are exhibiting this problem.

I am going to do some tidying up of my mess of debug and inject nodes and setup two write nodes, one connected directly to the outputs of the Cron-Plus node and one connected to the outputs of the Call Service nodes connected to the Cron-Plus node.

I am going to capture 48 hours and compare everything.

Biscuit · May 23, 2022, 12:58pm

I think I have found the answer:

OK - so it is something to do with the ‘call-service’ node being activated and then that node using the configuration node to make a connection to the HA server (via websocket/API) and this connection failing or not running. Plus something to do with the way in which CronPlus triggers and sends messages (and possibly the time at which those messages are sent).

On the basis of my last post I experimented with installing the node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket to my Raspberry Pi, and thence to setting up the config node to work from the Pi to HA which is running on a different machine (but same local network). On the HA hardware I can tick the ‘I use the Home Assistant add on’, and I need nothing else. On the Pi, however, I have to untick this and set up the service IP / token myself - and it all works. Another big learning for me.

In looking at the settings on the config node, I can see that there is a ‘delay connection’, which is highly suspect as that would suggest the config node does not connect immediately but waits (for what?). Also I note that there is a cache setting, which is also suspect as caching things can often lead to problems. And lastly, a heartbeat setting. Noting that you have the ‘delay connection’ option ticked, I suspect that this is the problem!

I have my settings (out of the box, I did not change anything) as:

The ‘Delay connection attempts’ is OFF
The state boolean stuff is just about parsing things for true/false, and for some reason this is only ‘on’ and not ‘on|home|yes… etc’
The 'Cache Autocomplete Reads is OFF - this is to do with the node reading the entire HA entity/state set and using the information to autocomplete when we type into the entity box. Nothing much to do with the connection, however when caching is off the node will regularly call HA to update. In general I would always turn caching off when there is a problem so as to force/ensure reads are happening.

I have also found the following posting, which I think mirrors your problem, but with a different timer.

https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/dl39eh/big_timer_problem_no_connection/

And - the answer was to turn off the ‘delay connection’ setting.

Of course, having the config node ‘delaying the connection’ would explain why the node says ‘no connection’. Still leaves the question as to a) what causes the delay to happen b) how does the delay end and c) why are timers causing this delay and not other things?

Hope that fixes it for you…!

LondonBenji · May 26, 2022, 4:14am

Okay so… I am confused… I have this currently setup, a Write node to log directly connected to the outputs I use on Cron-Plus and another Write node to log connected to the outputs of the Call Service nodes.

BOTH Write nodes stopped logging after the first cycle… The contents are also identical. Seemingly I can’t upload the files themselves so -

This is freaking weird. I need to see whether or not a normal debug can still see the output from Cron-Plus because I swear previously it could but I had the debug node attached to ALL Cron-Plus outputs and maybe I was only seeing debug from outputs I wasn’t using on Cron-Plus?!

The creator of Cron-Plus along with another user (not sure if they’re on here as well) look like they have found the issue and I have applied the update! In ~36 hours I will know for sure!

The creator of Cron-Plus fixed it! Details in the thread I previously linked!
