bpwwer's post in Roomba discovery not working on PG3x? was marked as the answer
The plug-in is not getting a response from the robot. Are you sure it's in the charging station and you're able to connect/control from the app?

bpwwer's post in UnifiPresence authentication issues with UniFi OS 3.2.7 was marked as the answer
I accepted the pull request so it should be updated now. However, I don't own the node server so I can't update the store entry.

bpwwer's post in Demo worked fine, purchased version does not was marked as the answer
I just publish a new version with a change to do the npm install as part of the node server install. If you re-install version 1.0.11 it should work now.

bpwwer's post in Climacell NS: no current data was marked as the answer
Looks like that worked. I've changed the node server to use that instead. Version 2.0.2 has been pushed to the store.

Maybe now fixed in version 3.1.8

bpwwer's post in # of installed NS was marked as the answer
That list is really a list of licenses you've obtained for this instance of Polyglot. For the Notification node server you probably have a license for the free version and a license for the paid version.
Because you have a license for the free version, you could install that version too, but there's probably not any good reason to do that.
This really should be updated to make things more clear to the user, but the priority has been fairly low.

bpwwer's post in Pico only shows two nodes was marked as the answer
The number of nodes for a Pico varies depending on the Pico model.
For a 3BRL, that's a 3 button with raise/lower and it should have 2 nodes. The main node has the on, off, raise, lower operations associated with it as those are fixed in the Pico design. The second node is for the favorite button and its operation is configurable.
For 2B there is only one node that has the on and off operations associated with it.
In general, the Pico devices have no status, they are control only devices. The Pico nodes can be used in programs as it can detect the button presses, but there's no "state" saved. I.E. a pico button can not be on or off. There's no ability to query a Pico to see what button was last pressed.
The nodes that do have a status, only use that to show how a configurable button is configured in the node, it's not related to any status in the Pico itself.

bpwwer's post in unmanaged - plugins was marked as the answer
From the admin console go to the Node Severs menu -> Configure -> slot 1-20 -> [pick a slot with an unmanaged node server]
You'll get a dialog box with a delete button. Use that.
Do that for all of the unmanaged node servers and after about 5 minutes they should all be gone from the PG3x dashboard.
"Unmanaged" means that PG3x doesn't have those installed and can't control them in any way. They were installed by a different instance of polyglot.

bpwwer's post in Formatted values for weather conditions was marked as the answer
The short answers are no but that's not very helpful.
The formatted values are set by the IoX and this is one of the quirks of it. After installing the node server, you have to restart IoX before it will send out the formatted values that are text based. It's not something the node server can control, but at least the solution is fairly simple.
For the second question. First, that's a great idea but not currently possible. The poll values are really PG3(x) configuration values for the node server in that slot. That's why they're separated out from the other configuration parameters. So again, the node server doesn't control the poll intervals, PG3(x) does. Having a polling schedule vs. just the two values is a great idea, but that's something UDI would have to add to PG3(x).

bpwwer's post in PurpleAir Charges for API Calls was marked as the answer
Version 2.1.0 of the PurpleAir plug-in is now in the plug-in store.
This version adds the ability to configure the plug-in to query the sensor directly instead of using the API to query the cloud servers.
I also optimized the API call to just request the fields being used.

bpwwer's post in Wind speed has changed to m/s vs mph was marked as the answer
The Myq log won't really help
When the node server starts, it gets the units from WeatherFlow. So first thing to try is to simply restart the node server. If that doesn't change anything, then check your settings on the Weatherflow app and make sure you have the right units selected for windspeed.
If that looks right attach the log that includes where you restarted. Or better yet, set the log level to debug, restart the node server, then download the log and attach that.

bpwwer's post in NS is not getting lightning data was marked as the answer
I'm not sure what's returned in the data request. It may be that the app is doing something with the data and you'd have to create programs on the ISY to mimic that behavior.

bpwwer's post in Source selection shows the lower adjacent source was marked as the answer
I think I fixed it, try 2.1.6

bpwwer's post in KASA NS - Can't communicate with any devices was marked as the answer
When the IoX sends a command to PG3x, it does so by sending an http request (as defined in the UDI Node Server REST API docs). PG3x does require a username/password for authentication. When PG3x creates the node server entry on the IoX, it provides it with a username and password. If that gets changed on the IoX, then PG3x fails to authenticate it which is what looks like is happening here.
To fix this try:
From the Admin Console go to the Node Servers -> Configure -> <slot number range for Kasa node server> -> Kasa menu and then click the Delete button.
This will delete the node server configuration from the IoX
Then re-install the Kasa node server using the PG3x re-install option from the Node Server Store -> Kasa -> Install, midway in the dialog box there should be an option to re-install to the same slot.
The re-install option won't delete any of your existing configuration options and shouldn't impact any existing programs or scenes that use Kasa nodes. These two steps should refresh the node server configuration on the IoX and allow it to authenticate when sending commands to PG3x.

bpwwer's post in Parsing Errors causes node server offline was marked as the answer
when the node server queries the Ambient server for data, what it gets back is not valid data. The node server then marks the station as offline until a query responses with valid data.

bpwwer's post in RYSE Node Server Enhancement was marked as the answer
I can't do anything about #1, that is a limitation of what the IoX will accept for node names.
I can fix #2. I'll change it so that it looks like:
This also changes the drop down so that the options are "Set Shade Position" and "Set Shade Speed" instead of both being just "Set Shade".

bpwwer's post in Polyglot V3 backup fails was marked as the answer
I'm working on this issue right now.
I don't know why, but in some cases, it seem to fail to replace a space (' ') character with a '_' and then fails because the space is considered an invalid character.
Same thing will likely happen if you try to download a log file.

bpwwer's post in Roomba j7+ Discovery was marked as the answer
It's certainly possible that they've changed something in newer Roomba's that breaks the way the node server attempts to access it. Everything related to connecting to Roomba's is based on reverse-engineering how they work as there isn't a public API to do this.
Given that it's unable to connect to the Roomba because it is denying the connection attempt, you may need to do something to the Roomba to enable that.
Ah, yes, the issue has been reported and it looks like the way to get the password is different for the j7+ and that method is not easily integrated into the node server.

bpwwer's post in No NS logs after migration to PG3x was marked as the answer
The node server log viewer is different on PG3x than on PG3. PG3 shows both real-time entries and historical entries. The PG3x log only shows real-time entries.
This means that when you navigate to the node server log page in PG3x, it will only show log entries that are written after you navigate there. So if you're navigating to the log page and away and back, it will always be empty when bring up the page.
The log files are in each of node server's directories at /var/polyglot/pg3/ns/<nodeserver>/logs
You can also use the "Download Log" button to download the entire log file.

bpwwer's post in Help - can't migrate node servers from Polisy to eISY was marked as the answer
That's not really possible. Node servers and the associated installation are tied to the hardware. With PG3x, PG3x and the IoX are essentially tied together as one entity.
If you try to move the configuration from the Polisy to the eisy, it will get very confused because it will still attempt communicate with the IoX on the Polisy, for some things and will be communicating with the IoX on the eisy for others. In addition, none of the node server will work because the license for the Polisy is invalid for the eisy.
The only way to "migrate" would be to first get all the node server licenses transferred (by contacting UDI and telling them you want to transfer licenses from the Polisy UUID to the eisy UUID). Then start the eisy (and make sure it's updated), and install and configure each of the node servers.
Any node server's with a free license don't need to be transferred as you can just get a new free license that works with the eisy for those.

bpwwer's post in how to remove an old Nodeserver that is marked as "unmanaged"? was marked as the answer
Using the AC, select Node Servers from the menu then select Configure, then goto the slot range and select the slot that has the node server you want to remove. You'll get a box with the node server configuration and at the bottom is a "Delete" button. Click the Delete button and a few minutes later it will disappear from the PG3x dashboard.

bpwwer's post in "File Not Found" error on Vue Node was marked as the answer
If I remember correctly you need to install the development tools for eisy.
One of the python packages that it uses is only available in source form, so when the node server is installed and attempts to install the python package, it tries to build it from source (using a 'c' compiler). The build fails because the 'c' compiler is not installed on the eisy.
Use the admin console and click the "Install Dev. Packages" button on the configuration tab. After those are installed, try installing the node server again.
