actual_position/actual_angle not reported as target_position/target_angle about onyx_api HOT 2 CLOSED

This is true and working as designed. To conserve radio bandwidth our devices only transmit property updates on their own when an unexpected event (e.g. a button press) happens. Clients have to calculate the current actual_* property values by interpolating between the actual_* and target_* properties based on their timestamp and the drivetime_up, drivetime_down and rotation_time properties.

We also perform periodic property updates roughly every 5 minutes as you already noticed. This is mainly to detect offline devices and recover from packet loss. We add a random jitter to the update interval to reduce interference from neighbouring ONYX systems.

Awesome, this explains the drivetime_* and rotation_time properties and helps a lot already! :)
