[BUG] on_empty_queue loop

[popy2k14]

Bug report

Describe the bug

I woke up in the middle of the night and the clock was empty (black).
It seems

Additional information

• used Hardware:
  • ESP32 ulazi tc0001
  • EspHoMaTriXv2 version: 2024.5.1
  • I was running: 2024.4.1 longer, without issues, maybe i try to go back!?

To Reproduce

Use the config provided and activate night mode.
Sadly, this happens really rare :-(
As you can see, on_empty_queue() was called every 15 seconds, which called set_night_mode_on() which finally set an clock_screen with 1440 minutes.

Why this happens every 15 seonds!?

Expected behavior

No unexpected on_empty_queue loop.

I'm just going to interject. Sorry if I can't analyze your problem more deeply (and I'm certainly on an older version of EHMTXv2 than you)...

Is it possible your Home Assistant automation triggered the blank screen instead?

I encountered hours of black screens simply because my weather service was down and the HA Yaml had no error-checking so the script never got past the step it was crashing at.

See the end of this wiki page for an example: https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2/blob/2024.6.pre/wiki/weather-display.md

@trip5 thx for trying to help, appreciate that.
No i think not that my HA instance is ever sending clear/blank screen.
Checked my scripts for that.
Also in this case there is no issue with the weather sensor.
My clock was in "night mode" and it's configured to not show weather in night mode.
It was not home assistant which was crashing, it was maybe an bug in the clock firmware.
It should just show the clock which does my "on_empty_queue" yaml.
