Wake Up Interval Companion

[Lazaro]

Hello,

Apologies if this is in other topic. I was looking around and couldn't find a solution for the issue I have. If there is other thread with information that can help me with the issue I'm about to explain, please let me know.

I want to wake up the companion app every a certain time, for debugging purposes I put 5 minutes.

This is the code:

import { me } from "companion";
const MINUTE = 1000 * 60;
me.wakeInterval = 5 * MINUTE;
console.log("Wake Interval " + JSON.stringify(me.launchReasons));
me.onwakeinterval = evt => {
  console.log("Inside onwakeinterval");
  if (me.launchReasons.wokenUp) {
    // The companion started due to a periodic timer
    console.log("Started due to wake interval!");
   ...
  }
};

This a link to a printscreen of the logs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y0kv9d0ov8dz3qg/IMG_1271.jpg?dl=0

What I noticed from the logs is:

• I configured the wake up every 5 minutes, but most of the time is waking up every 10 minutes.
• Even I have an a code in place to show some logs when the onwakeinterval event happens, I don't always see all the logs I should see.

My questions are:

1. Why is the companion waking up almost every 10 minutes, if it is coded to do it every 5 minutes?
2. Why if wake up always with the wokenUp = true, not always go inside the below code? 

   me.onwakeinterval = evt => {...};

Hope you can help me with these problems.

Thanks in advance.

The wakeInterval is only guidance to the mobile runtime to wake the companion, as per https://dev.fitbit.com/build/guides/companion/#periodic-wake-interval

There are 2 states your companion needs to listen for:

1. onwakeinterval - this event fires when your companion is already running and the interval elapses.

2. the launchReason.wokenUp

import { me } from "companion";

const MINUTE = 1000 * 60;
me.wakeInterval = 5 * MINUTE;

me.onwakeinterval = evt => {
  console.log("Companion was already awake - onwakeinterval");
}

if (me.launchReasons.wokenUp) { 
   // The companion started due to a periodic timer
   console.log("Started due to wake interval!");
}
