HouseBot

I have problem with missed transmissions, occasionally devices not responding to signal. I think auto repeat would help to minimize this issue. Any ideas how to accomplished that with meediobot.

Are you talking about X10 devices, or something else?

yes, I am talking about x10 devices, sometimes not responding to X10 commands because of noise etc., my question is if there is any way to repeat a task at defined intervals lets say 5-10 minutes to make sure that device gets the command in case it misses the first time.

Some of the HouseBot X10 Hardware Interfaces support a retry count. For example, the USB Powerlink allows you to specify how many times it will retry sending the command before giving up.



You could also create a Task that runs periodically by having it conditionally test the system time "time without seconds" property and calling another task when it is appropriate. You could also just execute a script Device (that checks the time and calls another task if it is time.) every minute.
