Hello everyone, I´m developing an app in ionic which connects with a scale (via Ethernet) and I need to display each 2 secs the weight of the scale. I´m using cz.blocshop.socketsforcordova to connect with the scale and everything is working. The problem is that I´m using setinterval to display the new scales and I´m facing one issue: Sometimes the buttons doesn´t work as expected and It seems to be blocked by a process (maybe the setinterval wich is global to the app) and I need to press several times to make it work. Is there any chance to create the setinterval without this button behavior??? Thanks in advance! Juan Luis ---
