Hi folks, I have set up the Inject node to trigger an audible reminder using Google Home at 3.55pm on a Tuesday. But sometimes (not every day) it happens a random time later, say 4.10pm! I am running Node Red on a Raspberry Pi, native not in a Docker container. Here is some simplified code that t…

Maybe @dceejay could give a better insight which underlying implementation is used for daily inject node triggers?

I think cron is beeing used for those but as far as i can see from the cron npm modules code it also uses setTimeout() and setIntervall() in the background to achieve its functionality. So in the end it comes down to setTimeout() but unleast something is going really wrong i cant imagine a delay as…

I have an update on this issue. It looks like some kind of clock issue which resolves itself if I do a sudo reboot of the Raspberry Pi. I noticed that with the following test code, it was injecting every hour at exactly 32 minutes past the hour (e.g. 1:32pm, 2:32pm my time) and then simpletime rep…

I will leave it running with a little modification, i will append the time of every inject to a file and come back in a day or two. This is really strange as i have for example a subflow task scheduler which is based on setTimeout which on one of my pis has been running daily tasks with second accu…

I also set a similar mod as @JGKK . I've never user flogger before so let's see if I got it right. I'll check when I'll see the next comment on this thread.

First day: 09:00:00 10:00:00 11:00:00 12:00:00 13:00:00 14:00:00 15:00:00 16:00:00 17:00:00 18:00:00 looks good to me so far

A similar result here also. I just dumbly had flogger write json of complete msg objects so not pasting it here.

I was getting: 09:32:00 10:32:00 11:32:00 12:32:00 13:32:00 ... etc. But then I did a sudo reboot of the raspberry Pi and it started working fine. If it's no trouble, I would appreciate if a few of you could leave the test flows running for 2-3 weeks to see if it happens. So far, it's been…

[image] murraybrandon: I am running Node Red on a Raspberry Pi, I wonder how the clock in your Raspberry Pi is being updated. If you don´t have a RTC module installed then the update is normally via internet connection. There are a few things that can do wrong with time update. What is OS ve…

Inject node runs late sometimes

The flow is running on my production Node-RED on a Raspi 3 and a Test Node-RED on a Debian running on a HP Microserver. Both show 10-17 milliseconds on the Debian and 40-41 milliseconds on the Pi after the full hour since 2 p.m. Nothing to worry about
