[Fixed] Webhooks callbacks are not reliable!

Troubleshooting

Hi David,

I have persevered with my tests and have started seeing dropped responses. It does seem to be slightly better but it is far from reliable.

My setup is as follows:

void setup() {

    //  particle serial monitor
    Serial.begin(115200);

    //  subscribe to webhooks
    bool subscribed = Spark.subscribe("hook-response/io_", ioBridgeCommand, MY_DEVICES);
    if (!subscribed)
         Serial.println("subscription failed for iobridge");

    // and wait at least 10 seconds to allow time to connect
    delay(10000);

}

void loop() {

    Serial.println("Requesting salon temp");

    // publish the event that will trigger our first webhook
    Spark.publish("io_temp_int");

    // and wait at least 60 seconds before continuing
    delay(60000);

    // publish the following 4 events in the same manner
    Spark.publish("io_heat_on");
    delay(60000);
    Spark.publish("io_pump_on");
    delay(60000);
    Spark.publish("io_heat_off");
    delay(60000);
    Spark.publish("io_pump_off");
    delay(60000);


}

// simple response test
void ioBridgeCommand(const char *name, const char *data) {

    Serial.println("ioBRidge command response");

    String strName = String(name);
    String strData = String(data);
    Serial.println(strName);
    Serial.println(strData);

}

And the responses are:
5 replies
5 replies
3 replies
4 replies
3 replies
1 reply
3 replies
4 replies

I believe that the servers being called are reliable, I never have a problem with curl. I can say that there is some improvement though because the fact that we can receive only 1 reply and then 3 or 4 replies is better than before. My observations before were that once a webhook died it stayed dead !

I’m sorry it’s not 100% reliable but I must underline that I have found a satisfactory workaround for my setup so am no longer relying on this fix.
