[OBSOLETE] "Pollster" - A SmartThings Polling Daemon

[btk (The fish is still dead.)]

Here’s how I’ve been dealing with it.

Scheduler and Polling quits after some minutes, hours, or days

Every response I’ve gotten from support on this for the last several months is “Yeah, we had a problem but it’s fixed now…”, so I’ve rigged up what I consider a pretty good workaround. I’ve added two web endpoints to each of my smartapps whose schedulers are important to me. The first checks the time the last scheduled job ran (updated in state at each run) against the current time. If it’s been long enough to declare the scheduler dead, it returns “FAIL”, otherwise “FIRING” along with the name of the app and the last time the scheduler ran. The second simply calls my method that creates the schedules. This alone makes it easy enough to just bookmark the URLs with all of the auth tokens so it’s a one-click operation to check on the scheduler and another click to restart it via my brow…

Not clean, not simple, but it works until ST can figure out what’s going on.
