here you go.. sorry for not providing enough info the first time. The first screen shot is the program that has been running for a couple months now without any issues. It now does not trigger on the if statement being true. You will notice the program names are all yellowed out now. The second capture show many programs as out of memory. This is a typical problem I see when some statement has an error. If I try to fix the problem in this example, that the if statement is not being triggered, I am no longer able to see the status in the pulldown menu for the if statement. It does show up in the list of items for my site. See next capture . Versions I am using are last capture. I installed it in the same PG3 slot as before, but am guessing the link to the status variable for the if statement, somehow got messed up. Let me know if you need the log file after all. Thanks

I talked to support and they had me update and upgrade. That appears to have fixed my issues and I can install rain machine again. I used the same slot ( 12 ) as before. Everything looks ok. I can see each zone etc. I have a new problem. My programs are now getting errors. I can no longer access the status variable in them. All was running fine before. I am running them on a standalone isy at 5.3.4. Could you check this please. Thanks

@bpwwer @glarsen I tried what you mention above. No luck see the screen caps below. It won't let me install it still. Any ideas for what to try next

Hi I was gone for 6 days and while I was gone someone unplugged my rain machine. When I got back I noticed the poly was getting errors to the effect " controller not found in database". Also it showed as disconnected in the PG3 display. Most status in the admin console appeared ok however. Anyway I restarted it to see if that would fix it. No change. I then deleted and reinstalled it in the same slot. It no longer will install. I also rebooted the polyglot along with re powering up the polisy. No luck. I am not sure what to do next. I have attached various log files and screen caps. Not sure if they will be of value as it was down for so long. Any help to get it back up would be appreciated. debug.log pg3-current.log

Yes it was a request I made awhile back. I currently have to multiple cubic feet by 7.48 to get gallons per minute. This makes the programming simpler. Thanks to the great cooperation of @glarsen and @JimboAutomates everything is now in place. I have been testing my programs for a couple weeks now. If you are interested in what I am doing I can provide more info. I am checking actual flow versus expected and sending a notification if I see excessive usage.

I have had a program running for weeks now, that when it detects motion turns on a garage light plugged in to a kasa hs110. It suddenly stopped working a few days ago. I am not sure if it is related to updates made to the tag manager or not. I also had a power outage here that messed up my network, so that may have caused the problem. In any case, i deleted the kasa and tag node servers and reinstalled them. All seemed to go well. I also verified that they were gone from the admin console and readded them after I reinstalled the 2 node servers. I still do not see any info in the event state. Any idea where to go from here? See info below. Thanks Steve @JimboAutomates WirelessTag_2-23-2022_94646_AM.zip

@JimboAutomates Just tried the leak sensor here too. Looks fine. I will give it a water test later today.

@Jimbo Just got a good capture of the issue. Info logs etc. placed in Github. Steve

I am close to having my leak test application up and running. I noticed that in a program I am able to do a "query" of the device "flume water". Watching the log and flume node values it does not appear to do anything. So my question.....Is there any way that I can "force" the flume values to update outside of the normal interval. @Jimbo Thanks Steve

Just curious about 3 things. 1) What is the format of the field "last Update time" see below. 2) Is the current transmitting power level available to add to a tags info. I like keeping track of it to follow the levels my tags are using. 3) Should the chip temp be accurate... mine says 246.2 Thanks Steve

Good Morning @Jimbo Just happened again after running many days. This time I got invalid token. Restarting it fixed the problem. Log file attached check around 7:44 this AM. Thanks Steve FlumeWater_2-4-2022_83415_AM.txt

I had been wondering the same thing myself. I have had 5 2443's in my network since forever, probably X-10 days. Given that I now have 70 dual band devices running I wondered why have the 2443's? Software version ranged from v 1.6 to 2.1. Anyway, I pulled them all out a few days ago, and magically all my " failed to communicate " problems went away. Will see if it stays that way. Just an anecdote. I am still seeing the "hops left" on all transmissions be either 0 or 1....mostly zero. So no change there.

same here if it matters...mine are all up and running fine.

Thank You That was the issue. I have my ISY named anacapa and my wireless tag manager as anacapa and I could not see the difference. I will rename my wireless manager when I get the chance.

@Jimbo @garybixler @bambamf16 Bambam Gary showed me where to find it, but I don't have the tag manager. I only have the controller. Is there something I need to do to make it appear? See admin console capture below Thanks

@glarsen Hi Just took a look at my rain machine info and it appears to have changed to cfm. I believe we discussed that cfm times 7.48 will give me what I need. Is cfm going to be the final unit of measure or will it be gpm as was previously available. Thanks Steve see config info below

@garybixler Hi I am trying to get my tags running also and was asked to "set the monitor tags true in admin console"also. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Would you let me know where I find it. Thanks

@Jimbo Don't see any change yet. See attached info below. I restarted everything and rebooted the Polisy. I am connecting to an ISY on a 994. I saw on another thread that it was throttling issue. If it would help for testing purposes, I could install another instance of the tag server, on my PG3 and point it to the not used, but running, ISY on the polisy. Steve WirelessTag_1-28-2022_75619_AM.txt

no problem no hurry to fix it Just saw fix is up. Thanks

I rebooted polisy twice along with the isy on the 994i. It does not appeared to have changed anything. See logs etc below. I also did a discover in PG3 for tag manager just before I captured the logs. If you think ssh commands are the next step, could one of you send them to me. @Jimbo @bpwwer @Michel Kohanim Thanks WirelessTag_1-26-2022_32659_PM.txt

I believe I have everything running as far as I can see. The node server has started and been authorized. The tag controller shows up in the ISY admin console. I have done a discovery and add all nodes from the admin console. Also did a discovery from the PG3 version on polyglot. For some reason no tags show up. I have 3 tags the temp sensor, PIR detector, and the air and light motion tags All software has been updated and both the polyglot and polisy rebooted. Is there anything else I need to do. See screen shots and log file ( in debug mode ) below. @Jimbo Thanks Steve WirelessTag_1-26-2022_111702_AM.txt

The change to checking status did work. I can now get the programs to run. I need to give this some more thought but the solution suggested by @oberkc looks to be the way to go. i.e just have the first event trigger a second program that would always run to completion off and running it seems just have to write 21 programs....one for each circuit unless I can figure out a way to index a matrix of variables. Thanks again to all of you for the help

Thanks to all of you above @apostolakisland @oberkcfor the thoughts. I will do more testing to see if I can get it to work. To answer your questions above. I am running the PG3 version of the rain machine node server. The node was created by it. I have no way of "knowing" how ISY is treating it...i.e. whether I will get a "control" or "status message" that I am aware of. With the proliferation of node servers coming I could see being an issue if I somehow I need this info. What is am trying to accomplish is, whenever a zone turns on, to monitor the flow and compare it to an expected value to see if I have excessive water usage. What happens that I am testing above, is that the Rainmachine timer turned on circuit at a given time according to that days schedule. I want that event to run the program for that circuit. I have to have, at least a 3 minute delay, for the circuit to reach full flow. It appears "control" is not triggered. I will try "status" today. If status does work and I have to deal with my program halting midstream what is the best solution? Should I have the event initiate another program that does what I need to do. I assume by initiating another program it could not be stopped by the first one. I really appreciate all your help. Steve

for @glarsen I have written a program that I hope to have trigger when a certain circuit comes on. In this test zone 8. For some reason, it will not start when the node status switches to run. I have multiple screen caps below. The program is first. I manually ran the if statement at 3:32 to verify status is false and node says idle I waited a few minutes and then manually started circuit 8 on my rain machine. Within 15 seconds or so the node showed the circuit as running, but the if statement did not trigger true. I then ran the if statement manually and also did not get a true status. Am I am doing something wrong or am I a victim of not understanding isy if statements. Is this the right way to do what I want? Thanks Steve

Rick For what it is worth, I have been having the exact same problem for many months now. Each time I log in to the admin console, I get the " can not communicate message " for from 2 to 7 devices. It drives me nuts. I then query the device or turn it on or off and it works without any problems. I have tried different versions of software...( current at 5.3.4 ) It happens across all types of devices very old and relatively new dual band ones. It also is not always the same devices. I have been trying to determine a pattern.... no luck. My only guess at the moment, since I have seen so many problems with PLMs on here, is that maybe my PLM is dying a slow death. I am in the process of migrating to a Polisy and a brand new usb PLM. If I find anything out I will post it here.
