Call to set event active when state is not active

In case anyone runs into this message it is because the point value has changed in between the time the point event detector was triggered and the point event detector delay expired and the new point value has caused the point event detector to be set to inactive. Generated from a multistate point on a virtual data source:

The event detector had a delay of 1 second. It looks like pointChanged was called again before the one second delay on setEventActive was up. I've removed the delay and will see if the message still occurs.

Hi Craig,

Is this version 1.8.0? Can you turn on the submission of exception messages to Serotonin (in the settings page)? I've seen this message before, and have some instrumentation in the code to track down the cause.
