    Auto-logout due to slow response time from PG3x

    in Polyglot v3 (PG3x)

    Posted

    Thanks - I guess it was a fluke because it came up OK after resetting - I usually just close the browser after logging into PG3x - I may go back to using the mini-ups/dc battery that I had for the eisy, but a while back when I had a ticket open and was talking to UDI, it was suggested to me to stop using the UPS because most of the equipment (Insteon switches) is off-line during a power failure / brownout anyways...

    Yesterday, my wife was flipping circuit breakers and accidently turned off the eisy.  Now, when I log into PG3x, after a few seconds, I see an orange message "Auto-logout due to slow response time from PG3x" and I get logged out - what is the procedure to fix this?  (everything seems OK from the ISY admin console - node servers appear to be working...)

    Is default email server down?

    it might be worth trying to setup sending through Gmail

    Thanks - I used to use gmail but it in my case it became unreliable/delayed, so I transitioned most of my messages to use pushover and for others I switched back to the default email server - I only have a few large messages that I send via email - for now it's working by sending to two email addresses...

    On the Configuration->Emails/Notifications->Settings/Groups tab, testing my gmail works, but a program cannot send a message for some reason - it does not go through... 

     

    EDIT: A program message will work when I add my work email address on as a 2nd address to send the message to - not sure why it would not work sending it only to gmail because it worked for years - I think something changed

    It's in the title - is anyone else having issues sending emails from the eisy?  Last email that I received was from Thursday 11:59PM sent to my gmail account - testing indicates that it may not be working, or maybe gmail has blocked alerts@universal-devices.com?

    locative no longer working for geofencing due to paywall

    in eisy

    Posted · Edited by JTsao

    Starting late last night, it appears that the locative app on the iPhone now requires a yearly subscription to work for geofencing - has anyone else noticed this?  Now I need a new method for geofencing - is the occupancy v2.0 under isy portal free?

    EDIT: I think it may still work, although it didn't check us in last night (no response) but the ability to test a geofence is now only available in the Pro/paid version - I am investigating using UD Mobile instead

    Rachio Plugin Changes

    Just to be clear: if I buy the new version and install it in the same slot as version 4.04 and I already have an eISY setup with online access, then everything will just work using the old configuration and I can stop forwarding port 3001 through my router, right?

    Folder condition comparing two variables

    in eisy

    update

    I have a folder condition that compares two non-state variables:

    Folder Conditions for 'Hot Weather'

    If
            $outsideHighTemp > $fanOnTemp
    Then
       Allow the programs in this folder to run.
     

    EDIT: forgot to mention, these are not state variables.

    The folder is red, indicating that the condition is not being met, but $outsideHighTemp = 93 and $fanOnTemp = 78.  I have some programs which also use the same if statement and they are green.  Is there some kind of problem here?

    Any way to suppress the Pushover App Name in Message?

    I'm not sure how we would have a list of appropriate subjects since AC doesn't allow inputting any string.  What about just making the node name the Title?  I have done that and can release if you think it makes sense and nobody has an issue with it.

    I didn't realize that you can't input a string - I think what you suggested would be good - users could name the node accordingly to get the subject/title line that they want - thanks for doing all of this

    Fixed mention

    @Jimbo.Automates- would you consider a feature request for "send sys custom with params" to use the subject from the message defined under the AC configuration->emails/notifications->customizations for the "title=" parameter when sending the POST to pushover? 

    I think the subject is currently sent as part of the "message=".   If the subject is left blank, then the "title=" could be skipped, resulting in the app name being displayed - this way there is user control to do this either way.  I can confirm via network resources that when "title=XXXXX" is specified, then XXXXX is displayed in bold instead of the app name (which is redundant, not useful information).

    Also, notify nodes are always displaying the app name as well - in that case, a means of specifying the title would be needed on the AC menu( with the other options) and perhaps if left blank then it results in the app name being displayed.  Thanks for considering.

    I can get a Pushover message to not display the app name via Network Resources: the key is that there is a parameter, "title=Occupancy Update", that, when present, Pushover uses to replace the App name with the title.  I don't see a way in the Notify NS to specify the title - via the Pushover email gateway, the title is coming from the Subject (as above)

    For the example at hand, I am doing this (code and message below) - but this happens with all my custom messages:  I have not created a notification object for most of the messages - also, I am not seeing a "purchase" button - I think I bought this NS a while back but have not really used it until this recent UD email server problem

    home-occupancy-notify-0 - [ID 0188][Parent 012C]

    If
            $sHomeOccupied is 0
     
    Then
            Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover JeffKris' Send Sys Custom With Params Content 55 Notification ID (ID=55)
            Wait  1 minute 
     
    Else
       - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

    I just moved from using the pushover email gateway to using this node server to deliver my pushover messages from the customized messages on the AC (configuration->emails/notifications->Customizations) - when using the email gateway, the subject line appeared in bold at the top of the pushover message with the message below that, but with the NS, the app name is in bold, then the subject below it and then the message below that -

    For example - email gateway

    Occupancy Update

    house is occupied 17:22:50

    but NS format

    PG3-Notify

    Occupancy Update

    house is occupied 17:22:50

    Is there any way to suppress the unnecessary app name (PG3-Notify) at the top of the pushover notifications?

    EDIT: I see that in the pushover app settings menu it says "If messages are sent with no title, this name will be displayed." - referring to the App Name (PG3-Notify) - so it seems like the NS sends the subject as part of the message body, rather than the subject/title?
