I’m running a test for a week to make sure the farmbot is working correctly and prove that we are ready for planting. I created a sequence for toolbay testing that picks up the tools and move around one after the other. When it finished with one toolbay, takes a picture of it and does the same for the other bay, then goes home.
Running a test manually on the toolbay tester sequence is always correct. So under farm events I added the sequence for every 2 hours from 8am till 8pm.
The problem is that the sequences are missed unless I synced the bot manually. Once I synced it, it will do the events for that day.
Has anybody got any thoughts on this?
This is intended behavior. There is a message displayed when a Farm Event is created indicating that a sync is required before the event will run. A sync is required for the device to get the Farm Event data; without it the bot isn’t aware that there is anything to run.
I think I wasn’t clear in my description. I’m aware that I need to sync the bot after creating a new farm event.
The issue is that it missed the event yesterday morning at 8am. I logged in at 9, synced it, then it did the event at 10. Today the same thing happened.
Does it maybe have anything to do with the updates I can see in the log? It seems to happen at 2am every night.
It sounds like your device may be rebooting, after which a sync would be required to download the farm event data again. Updates should not happen every night. Does the device widget indicate that your device is up to date?
