%time value is wrong
« on: July 30, 2024, 06:36:08 pm »
I am using the latest version of Silence Detector.
I am sending an HTTP query with %time variable in Alarm Tasks and Return Tasks.
The problem is that the value of the %time variable is wrong.
Any ideea why?

What does it mean "wrong" in this context?

The %time value is associated with the most recent event (alarm or return). It may not show current time.

Let me bring more details.
I have running 2 instances of Silence Detector on the same PC (Windows 10), each in its own folder.
Both instances send HTTP queries with %date and %time variables.
One instance runs with no problem, the values assciated with those variables are correct.
The second instance, the one I am complaining about, send %date and %time with wrong values.
That means that if the date and time of an event is, let's say, 2024-03-22 17-44-10, the values of date and time sent by the second instance is like 2024-03-21 13-22-19.
It makes no sense for me.
More over, what I noticed is that when I test the query by pressing the Test button from the Alarm Tasks and Return Tasks, the values of associated with %date and %time are those from DateTime within priraside.ini file, which seems to be the date and time when Silence Detector was installed (or started).

The Test button does not return meaningful time value. The value is set only upon the event, otherwise it's undefined.

I guess so, but not the Test button functionality is my problem.
