EventGhost repeating actions several times

Post by skribb »

Today, EventGhost has suddenyl decided to act like a crazy person. :lol:

When receiving a normal Main.blabla event from command line, EG chooses to fire the corresponding actions 2-6 times for every Main.blabla. I have literally no idea at all why this started happening all of a sudden. Looking in the log it is clear that the Main.blabla is only fired ONCE and it is indeed EG that is doing the repeating and not the app sending the Main.blabla.

Any clues? :|

I am curious as to what the source of these events are? I am experiencing a (sporadic) similar problem in that events sent from Smartthings hub will repeat on average 3 times. The ST app that is sending the events however, indicates only one such event was sent. An Hour/day later and everything is back to normal. Events from other sources (i,e, Home Assistant) are never repeated...

The ones I had repeated were sent from AHK scripts that I made, running on the same computer that EG is installed on. Hasn't happened again since that time tho.
