When saving a spoken, it is looking for an oAuth access token that is used to communicate with Amazon. That token is created at the time of linking. This token does not exist if not linked. Previously, there were cases where if missing, this would create an HTTP 500 error. Now, the access token is still missing, but at least it is handled properly. If you have not unlinked and relinked, please try it. If this does not solve the problem, please open a ticket referencing this thread, mention your uuid, and whether you are initiating linking via the Alexa app, or UD Mobile.

Have you tried to unlink and relink today? I made a fix this morning.
-
Ed, Could you try to unlink and relink the skill? This is likely to solve the problem.

Notifications are now limited to 10 notifications per minute. The goal is to prevent such things as a program caught in a loop sending tons of notifications. If you see a case where this limit is too low, please let me know. This limit is enforced on a portal API that the notification plugin uses, and it is based on the source IP. This means that if you have 2 eisy at the same location, then the limit would apply to both units combined.

No, not related

We will be adding a rate limiter to the push notifications API to prevent this type of problems in the future. Unfortunately, eisy is too powerful

I looked at the logs, and it looks like your problem is now resolved. If not, please open a ticket and it will be a pleasure to help you. Benoit

When adding/updating/deleting Alexa spokens from Portal or UD Mobile, changes are now immediately reflected in Alexa. It's no longer required to ask "Alexa, discover my devices" to send updates to Alexa. This change makes the maintenance of spokens easier and less error prone. This works as long as the skill is linked. You can still add or update spokens while the skill is not linked, however a device discovery will be required to send updates (it's done automatically after linking). If you delete spokens while the skill is not linked, then the corresponding Alexa device also has to manually removed from the Alexa app, just like before. A device discovery only add/updates the Alexa devices. It won't remove the spokens removed from portal or UD Mobile.

Cannot get input select to work for A/V Virtual devices
bmercier replied to Condor's topic in Amazon Echo
I have made a few more tests. Some that work: HDMI1 HDMI2 DVR ANTENNA Many don't though. When you hear <device> doesn't support that, it's a sign that the input was understood, but your A/V device did not have that input defined. If you hear any other error message or a beep, Alexa does not understand the input you spoke. -
Wow, that's a neat trick. Never though of that, but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Cannot get input select to work for A/V Virtual devices
bmercier replied to Condor's topic in Amazon Echo
Please try different and easier input names. Because the the input select names are custom, Alexa has to really understand very well the name so that it can be an exact match to what you entered. -
I reproduced this problem on eisy. If you are familiar with ssh, here's how to resolve the problem. The instructions below are used to complete the installation of node-sonos-http-api, which is used by the ST-Sonos plugin. From a command prompt, ssh to your eisy: ssh admin@eisy.local Default password is admin Confirm that node-sonos-http-api is now working: curl http://localhost:5005/ You should be getting a connection error. Go to the folder where plugins are installed: cd /var/polyglot/pg3/ns Check the list of plugins installed: ls -l You need to know in what slot the plugin is installed. You can check in the PG3 Dashboard. Go to the plugin folder: cd <uuid>_<slot> The easiest is to copy paste the folder name you obtained from ls -l in step 3 Go to the node-sonos-http-api folder: cd node-sonos-http-api Install node-sonos-http-api pre-reqs: sudo npm install Start node-sonos-http-api: npm start Restart the plugin from the PG3 dashboard. It should now be working. When rebooting eisy, it appears that node-sonos-http-api is also restarted. You can use these instructions until a permanent fix is made to the plugin. UPDATE: Node server has been fixed, uninstall and reinstall the plugin. You may have to restart PG3 if you are reinstalling before the update is refreshed from the store.

Support thread for: PG3x v3.2.17 (December 19th, 2023)
bmercier replied to bmercier's topic in Polyglot v3 (PG3x)
This means PG3x service is not started. Can you access isy through admin console? -
This should be resolved now (as of 11PM Pacific time yesterday). This was caused by a misconfigured load-balancer.

Support thread for: PG3x v3.2.17 (December 19th, 2023)
bmercier posted a topic in Polyglot v3 (PG3x)
Hello everyone, This is the support thread for PG3x v3.2.17. Happy Holidays! -
Hello everyone, Here's the latest PG3x release. Release notes for: 3.2.17 - 12/19/2023 Allow to remove a node server even if the store entry no longer exists. When auto-logout, add a message in the UI. Add a rate limit on MQTT inbound messages from plugins & UI. Fix addnode for cases where the ISY request fails with an http error. When viewing a plugin, hide the readme and changelog if they are null. When new version is available, have the update button appear. Previously a restart of the node server was required. Make PG3 logLevel persistant Fix setController on first startup. Previously, setController will fail if addnode is not finished. Fix store edit UI (We could get a JS error due to accessing an incorrect field). Minor bug fixes and logging enhancements

You may want to try a reboot. Portal infrastructure is up, and looking at the numbers, most units are up. There is no mass outage as was seen earlier today.
-
It should be automatic. The unit retries to connect every minutes or so. You must have another problem going on as we have pretty much the same number of units connected as before. So perhaps in your case you should try a reboot. If this does not come up, please open a ticket, reference this thread, let me know your uuid, and attach your error log.

Hi Chris, The UD Portal forum is a good place for such a post. Internet access option in admin console no longer exists on new polisy & eisy.
-
Hi Geddy, This was not a portal issue. The infrastructure was up all the time, and over 6000 units never lost their connection. There has been no changes on portal, no reboot, no lack of resources, nothing. Some units just disconnected and reconnected later. Something happened on the internet between some customers and the portal infrastructure.
-
Most if not all systems are now back online. This seems to have been caused by a regional internet outage somewhere. Some customers reported the error log, which allowed to determine it was indeed a connectivity issue. On the portal side, no servers have been restarted, and no issues could be seen other than systems having disconnected and reconnected. In addition, looking at the numbers, over 6,000 units stayed online.
-
We are getting many reports of portal being offline. At this time, it looks like it's up and most isy/polisy/eisy are online and working. We are currently investigating this and will post an update here when we have more information.
