    Hi,
    I have a couple of push buttons using the vlight in the sketch.
    The problem is that VERA restarts if I push a button too many times.
    I would like to limit the pushes the sensor is able to send to maybe 1 per second.
    It should send the first push immediately but if another push is detected then wait 1 second to send it.

    Would this too difficult to implement?
    Any clues on how to start?

    have you tried to change the debouncer interval to 1000ms?

    debouncer.interval(1000)

        you are using "Door/Window & Pushbutton" sketch?

        try this:

        PushbuttonWithLockout.ino

          I'm using a multi binary sketch for 2 buttons.
          I'll take a look at yours.

          Could it be the vera plugin what's causing the restarts?

            I would look at the vera log while you are doing a button push.

            The two button sketch should be no problem. If you need help, post it and I can try my best.

              I'm having some problems with these buttons.
              They work but sometimes Vera just restarts.
              I'll try to loot at vera logs and see.

              Keep you posted.
              Thanks for the help

                Which Vera version are you using? Vera 2?

                I doubt the MySensors plugin makes Vera restart unless it is very low on memory or overloaded with other work.

                  I currently have a vera lite running.
                  It never restarts but when it does is after I push a button, no action is fired, then I push again maybe 2-3 times and then I find Vera is restarting.
                  I still have no proof but I'll try to find something in the logs.

                    did the lockout help?

                    I agree with Hek, it seems like there must be something up on the vera side.

                      Didn't have the chance to test it yet.
                      I also have an RFXcom device attached to vera. Maybe they don't like eachother? Anyone has one?

                        I do have both the mysensors gateway and a RFXtrx433 attachced to a veralite. My system is stable now but I have allso had issues with memory and have uninstalled everything I absolutely did not need and simplyfied everything I could. If your vera is acting strange I would check my memory status.

                          could you post your memory usage for comparison?

                              this is what I currently have on my vera lite:

                                              total         used         free       shared      buffers
                                  Mem:        62480        55376         7104            0         6304
                                 Swap:            0            0            0
                                Total:        62480        55376         7104
                              

                              how do you get the 'memoryAvailable'?

                                I have the "System Monitor" plugin installed so I get it as a Variable in the advanced tab.
