Z-wave switch status not updating in Admin Console
jca001 replied to abrayshaw's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
@pmarcos It may be labeled / listed as Z-Wave Plus, but could have been manufactured before the patent expired that allowed all manufactures to provide instant status update. The work around the patent was to have the device send a hail when the status changed and then the controller could query the device to get the current status. So you have to create a program where the IF checks for the hail and when triggered, the THEN should do a query of the device. The status of the device in ISY will be delayed by a small amount. -
@Michel Kohanim I installed zabbix5-agentd-5.0.6 and it seems to be working fine. It found CPU information, File System information and other things and there are no errors logged on Polisy or my Zabbix Server. So this may be fine for my needs.
-
@Michel Kohanim I had done "pkg search zab" before and nothing showed up. But I just did it now and see zabbix-agent-5.0.6. I am running Zabbix 5.2.2, any chance the agent for 5.2 could be provided? I am going to install the 5.0.6 agent on my Polisy and see if my Zabbix Server can use it. Thanks for all the help you have provided.
-
@Michel Kohanim I was able to get SNMP configured on Polisy and Zabbix Server is getting lots, really too much, information. I will continue to make changes to /etc/snmpd.config.
-
@Michel Kohanim I just checked Zabbix Download page and selected FreeBSD and it shows support only up to 11.2 of the OS for Zabbix 5.2 that I am running. So this may be why it is not listed in the UDI's repository. Unless you can find an Agent in the UDI repository, I will just try setting up SNMP. I just want to monitor that Polisy is on my network and running and I think Generic SNMP will provide some System information, such as CPU utilization, Memory utilization, etc that would indicate Polisy is running. I checked Polisy I can find /etc/snmpd.config, but not the snmpd program itself. Maybe FreeBSD implemented it using a different name for the daemon. Running sudo pkg -v version, indicates there are 3 SNMP related packages installed and up to date. I will loook at /etc/snmpd.config and see if I can figure out how to configure SNMP. I may need a little help with this.
-
@Michel Kohanim There is still something wrong. sudo pkg search zab, does not show anything. Just to make sure the command does match something I did, sudo pkg search dev, and it showed many packages that contained "dev" somewhere in the package name. I think even if the package was in the repository your example would have failed because I think you meant to type "zabbix5-agent", 2bs.
-
@Michel Kohanim I was hoping that was a missed step and everything would be fine after that, but it is not. [admin@polisy ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD polisy 12.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p2 r368666 POLISY amd64 sudo pkg update, says there is nothing to update. sudo pkg upgrade, says everything is up to date. sudo pkg install zabbix-client, still says the package is not matched. I am running zabbix 5.X, so maybe a version needs to be specified? Something like zabbix-client5. I tried to find an option for pkg (man pkg) to list all the available packages, but could not identify one.

@Michel Kohanim thanks for the quick reply. I am missing something or there are more command that I need to run. Before doing the following I rebooted Polisy. [admin@polisy ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD polisy 12.1-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p5 r361000 POLISY amd64 [admin@polisy ~]$ sudo pkg update Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue... FreeBSD-base repository is up to date. Updating udi repository catalogue... udi repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. [admin@polisy ~]$ sudo pkg upgrade Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue... FreeBSD-base repository is up to date. Updating udi repository catalogue... udi repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. Checking for upgrades (0 candidates): 100% Processing candidates (0 candidates): 100% Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting) Your packages are up to date. [admin@polisy ~]$ sudo pkg install zabbix-client Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue... FreeBSD-base repository is up to date. Updating udi repository catalogue... udi repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. pkg: No packages available to install matching 'zabbix-client' have been found in the repositories

@Michel Kohanim Thanks. As always one answer leads to more questions. Just for clarification, do you mean the Zabbix Client or SNMP in general? Is there a Time Line, version update when it will be available? Will the inclusion be automatic or will I have to do some special steps?
-
I have a Zabbix Server running on a RPI 4 that is monitoring my PCs, other RPIs, Network Equipment, etc. I know ISY994 does not support any kind of SNMP so Zabbix just checks it is up by doing a ping. I have a Polisy and I know it is running BSD and Zabbix has a BSD Agent. So my question is can the Zabbix BSD Agent be install on Polisy? Or does Polisy support some Generic SNMP that I can configure Zabbix to use?

Good information. When I go to the URL and click on any of the vendor links or manual links it does not take me to them. It opens a window like I did a search on GitHub stating nothing found. Note: I do not have a GitHub account and therefore I am not signed in.

Because 5.3.0 is now an official release should it show available on Help or somewhere else on the Admin Console if you are running one of the 5.X releases? Or is it still going to require a manual upgrade?

"Hmmm, <device> is not responding." every other command
jca001 replied to sdcrane's topic in Amazon Echo
I also have (ISY Portal variable pseudo MS) and several weeks ago they just stopped working. I waited a week to see if they would fix them self (Amazon identify something in general and fix it). But that did not happen and I contacted Amazon Support and have done so each week since. I get the same thing from them (be assured our technical staff is working on your problem and we will contact you when they have a fix). All that really happens is they say my MS must not be working correctly. Then I explain again that looking on the iPhone Amazon Alexa App it shows motion detected for the MS, but the routine still does not run. So that indicates to me that the ISY Portal and Amazon are communicating with each other. I can also manually cause the routine to play from the iPhone Amazon Alexa App and it does what it is supposed to. So that indicates to me there is nothing wrong with the routine. So I will be contacting them again tomorrow to get an update, which I am sure it will be the same. -
@TexMike I did a lot of Googling and came across several post about this type of problem and some had (Amazon Personal) stating it was reported to development and then later stating it was resolved, but nothing about what the real problem and solution was. And follow up post stating the OP was still having the problem, and then nothing. Most were last year or earlier this year, but nothing for the last week or so. Your solution was to use a different account, so that sounds like it may be something specific to an account and not an over all problem affecting everybody. So I wonder if it related to an option that accidentally got changed or defaulted after some update and need to be changed, some count of something being done, etc? Did you get any response from others in the other forum stating they were having the same type of problem? Since this was back in July, have you tried setting up things in your account again to see if something changed?

Mine is setup for (Detect:1) because when the ISY is reboot the variable will default to 0 unless you have an init value defined.
