doorbell plays several times

[duncan]

Hi,
i have ms4h 1.3.1.8 up and working great, but have a problem of the doorbell sound playing 4-5 times

when i use a virtual output directly to ms4h eg "/event/event.php?type=ring&cat=bell&zone=all&zone_ext=1,2 ,3,4,5,7&autoplay=1&sync=1&overlay=1&overlay_drop= 10&prio=1" it plays once only, but many zones dont restart the music after, they just stay silent

if i use the door controller connected to the Be input of an audio overview block so that the doorbell plays via the music zones then the doorbell plays 4 or 5 times before going back to the music

the Qb output of the door controller is set to 0.02 seconds
loxone online help talks about the music server zones having a Te parameter:

EVENTS


All Events begin on the rising edge and will continue until a falling edge is detected.

This applies to:

• Alarm
• Fire Alarm
• Doorbell
• Alarm Clock

If the event file is shorter than the event cycle the song/sound will be repeated until the event ends (falling edge detected).

If the track is shorter than the parameter Te the file will loop until Te has been reached.

i cant find Te in the server, audio zones, audio overview or anywhere else...any ideas?

Te is not existing in the config any more, but look here LINK
The minimum of a Track has to be 8 sec. or change the config-file.

when i use a virtual output directly to ms4h eg "/event/event.php?type=ring&cat=bell&zone=all&zone_ext=1,2 ,3,4,5,7&autoplay=1&sync=1&overlay=1&overlay_drop= 10&prio=1" it plays once only, but many zones dont restart the music after, they just stay silent

overlay only reduce the volume of the playing (internal) Zones (external Zones we load File and relaod Playlist after playing)
So it could not be silent after playing.
You have a scpe in 1,2 ,3,4,5,7, please check, I'm not sure if this could be a problem.
Use the Event-Generator in WebUI.

It is playing as long you set the time is in the block of door bell or switch on the connection to the intercom.
