Duh, of course I didn’t.
Great job. I don’t see how you did it.
I got in the shower this morning, my motion sense was working, it was showing in the app, the rule showed true, but neither the fans or the lights would come on… I was pissed!
So leaving aside Life360, everything failed on exactly the same day at exactly the same time?
Otherwise, if the keen vent routine failed on Tuesday and the sensor lighting failed on Wednesday, the system failed on Tuesday and on Wednesday.
I’m just not sure I’m following the report since it appears to be reporting by device rather than by day.
Thats a good point! Luckily I’ve had only 4 days (including life 360) and each category failed separately. Otherwise it would have been difficult to assess the overall based on records.
Four days with failures out of 30 is 86.6% reliability. I didn’t see that number in the report except on the Life 360line, unless I just missed it.
Since Life360 is an officially supported advertised integration, I think it counts as a system failure.
I guess I was mostly confused by this:
The ST presence app has had 4 days with at least one incident (not caused by the Life 360 service), which triggered a lot of angst among the family members - making routines to run and modes to change unexpectedly. Other categories with issues were related to unannounced changes in device handlers and occasional server hiccups.
If I were to remove the Life 360 app, the overall performance of my system was …93% (or 2 days with issues).
If the presence app had 4 days with errors not caused by life 360, where is that number showing up? Or am I just misreading that sentence?
By the way, none of this Little detail stuff is to take away from the value of the information you provided, and I’m sure it was a lot of work. You’re sharing it with the community is very much appreciated.
Like a good challenger, @JDRoberts is there! Love it…
You don’t see the overall number anywhere, because it wasn’t my intent to produce one, but rather to assess the strengths and weaknesses.
As I was updating my post I realized that with exception of Life 360 failures, I really only two distinct days when all incidents happened…(well now that you made me think, there were actually 3 distinct days ) So you’re right again. I removed the 93% blurb…
This was very interesting. 86% up time is considered unacceptable in today’s world by an measuring stick. While it’s a major improvement from what the %'s probably looked like 2 months ago, still work needs to be done. As long as we continue to see improvements towards a 99.9% uptime which is what most org’s strive to be at.
99.9%!? … not sure what I would do on my nights and weekends if I did not have to spend time anymore to do troubleshooting and fix my setup. Life would be really boring!
Here are some suggestions for you:
OR you can do what @bamarayne likes most …start rebuilding your system…
Ask Alexa - done! Kids love the presence report…
Designing new rules engine - following with lots of interest! Doing some testing. @ady624 is an awesome coder who also did the ATT Digital Life integration - something I had been waiting for more than 2 years!
Rebuilding System - Dont mention this… WAF (or SAF!) will go down the drain
Speaking of kids, we already planned building a robot this weekend with my 4 year old that will have magical power. So when Alexa tells the robot to turn the lights off, it will do it…
You’re right, 86% is pretty bad, but it is a hell of improvement. what I hope it will disappear soon, are the incidents that require significant digging around for a resolution. I can deal with occasional hiccups and lag, but even one incident per month like the change in device handler is too much.
