[P016] Add Event on overflow setting

[tonhuisman]

From a forum request

Features:

• Add Event on buffer overflow setting, that will be generated when the error-message IR: WARNING, IR code is too big for buffer. Try pressing the transmiter button only momenteraly is logged.
  The event is <TaskName>#Overflow=<rawlength> where <rawlength> is from the decode buffer (not sure if the value is usable)
• Correct typo in error message on buffer overflow

TODO:

• Testing by requester
• Update documentation

Thanks! I downloaded the bin from the forum thread, but not seeing an event generated.

00:21:21.898: IR: WARNING, IR code is too big for buffer. Try pressing the transmiter button only momenteraly
00:21:22.388: IR: WARNING, IR code is too big for buffer. Try pressing the transmiter button only momenteraly
00:21:22.489: IRSEND,'{'protocol':'NEC (Repeat)','data':'0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF','bits':0}' type as int: 3

I'm not clear on how to write a rule to trigger an event from this?

A bit obvious maybe, but I assume you have enabled and saved the new checkbox in the Task settings?

That could be a rule like this in the Rules tab, assuming your task is named IRreceive:

On IRreceive#Overflow Do
  // Commands to execute on overflow, like GPIO,12,1 to turn off a relay etc.
Endon

Found the new tick box on the Device setup. Works - thanks!

Ah, great 👍
It's there mostly to be backward compatible, so no new events are generated with the default settings, and for existing setups.
