Hi,

My wittypi's have been working fine for ages. I recently upgraded to bookworm and it everything was still working. I've just done updates (including a kernel upgrade) on both devices now neither of my wittypi's appear to be working to their schedules and aren't shutting down.

This is the log from one of the pis

[2023-12-11 13:18:34] System starts up because scheduled startup is due.

Interestingly if I look at the wittypi menu, I get the following:

>>> Current temperature: 44.625°C / 112.325°F
>>> Your system time is: 2023-12-11 22:18:49 GMT
>>> Your RTC time is:    2023-12-11 22:18:51 GMT
>>> Vout=5.10V, Iout=1.22A
Now you can:
  1. Write system time to RTC
  2. Write RTC time to system
  3. Synchronize with network time
  4. Schedule next shutdown [11 17:30:00]
  5. Schedule next startup  [12 05:30:00]
  6. Choose schedule script [in use]
  7. Set low voltage threshold
  8. Set recovery voltage threshold
  9. Set over temperature action
 10. Set below temperature action
 11. View/change other settings...
 12. Reset data...
 13. Exit
What do you want to do? (1~13)

 

As you can see the shutdown time is well past and the device hasn't shutdown. 

 

I am guessing this is a problem with a recent raspberry pi bookworm OS update as it's happening on both devices across two different types of pi.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks

@msage Witty Pi 3's software is now also upgraded to V3.52 with newer gpio-util.sh. Changes can be viewed here.

@admin Thanks, I've upgraded my 3 pi's and none of them appear to be logging the message any more! 🙂
