Hi. Just saw this and installed the beta. I’m just using switches but I’ll test that portion a bit.

I believe you need to set a variable (including init value for persistence) when enabling or disabling a program then check that variable. Alternatively you could set that variable and have it in the if of program you would be enabling and disabling.

@Jimbo.Automates , thanks!

Can you turn on the device “Irrigation / Irrigration-1 - Z1 Front Lawn” from device tree in the AC and confirm it actually turns on in the yard?

As I recall, You’ll need to create another variable and keep its value and init to value in sync your variables init to value.

A reinstall of node server fixed the issue back in May.

Works great. Thanks. I’ve usually got a background project for cold winter days to clean stuff up so I’ll add this to list to look for. I’m curious what happens if someone creates an infinite loop. Does it run until reboot or is eISY looking for it?

The If is evaluated false during that 3 minute wait.

Thanks. I missed Repeat While being released in V5 FW likely because I didn't move over quickly. I looked Repeat While up the cookbook and it appears there is no construct like brackets to say what is included in the repeated loop. From your example the work around is to include another Repeat 1 times that ends the loop. In my case, if the repeat will be inline with additional statements before and after loop, then having the Repat 1 times will just execute those after normally -- correct? difference = 0 difference += some value difference -= another value Repeat while difference <0 Difference *= -1 Repeat 1 times Run Program 'some program' If Run Program 'another program' If I'll try it out this evening but thanks for bringing to my attention!

Thanks. XOR and then +1 as negatives are stored as two’s complements is what I recalled but it does require an If to determine if negative. I think what I vaguely remember was some operand in assembly language on a VAX. It was do something and branch if in one instruction. Now that I think about it, it was macro-assembler so it was likely implemented in multiple machine language instructions. At least after the move from CISC to RISC processors. I just created another program so I could determine if negative and multiply by -1.

Is there a way to use the binary variable functions to And, Or, or Xor your way to the absolute value of a variable without using an If to determine if - or + before doing bit manipulation?

Done and thanks again!

@sjenkins, followed your instructions and all worked perfectly. Only took 5-10 minutes. We've got On and Off!

Thanks @sjenkins! I'll do update a little later today and no worries on doing fix steps. Really appreciate the nodeserver and want to support it moving forward. Do you know if the update to 3.1.6 be slightly delayed getting to nodeserver store ike regular updates?

Yes. It’s 3.1.6.

I did same and bought standard USB to micro USB at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C14W14F7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image&th=1

@sjenkins All has been great with Virtual! I defined 9 switches using the json format as you took ownership of the node server, and they worked as expected and had values of On and Off. I've upgraded to each of your releases (except most recent beta). This morning, I defined 3 additional switches, but their values are showing as True/False. The json configs are the same other than IDs and names. Looking at the node details the UOM is 25 for the original 9 switches with values of On/Off. The UOM is 2 for the 3 created today that have values of True/False. For the non-programmers in the family, I need On/Off. Advice?

@Javi I really like this feature and have used it for last few zwave devices. The only issue is the QR code on the devices is very small so it takes a bit of patience, stillness, and tinkering with distance and lighting for camera on iPhone 15 to read device code. Can you use 2x to make it better or let user pick zoom?

192.168.1.xxx is very/most common for Class C addresses. Depending on how you assign addresses(DHCP or Static) in your network., I’d tend to go back to it to make sure 192.168.50.x has not broken something else you haven’t even noticed yet.

You need to enter a support ticket. UDI will likely be able to get your PLM and Devices in sync.

It is fantastic! I’d request considering doing the same for creating Topology.

Thanks, Javi. The reboot fixed it!

Everything in the ESPHome version looks and is working great! I do have a question about its interaction with UDM and have synchronized it to eISY A few times. The standard device has status values as expected. However when creating a Favorite with a door’s status, I get status integers of 1,2,3… instead of status values of Open, Closed, Opening, Closing etc. When I do UDM Advanced Status Configuration on the favorite I see the status values and I can say if Open display Open. Is there a linkage, hint, or mapping that needs to be updated? Also, if more of a UDM question can you assist me, @Javi ?

@bmercier What is the latest update? Will you be releasing a fix for PG3X or is it up to impacted plugin developers at this point?

@Goose66 ,thanks for update supporting what appears to be the mainstream ratgdo firmware. I saw other post about you desiring to debug case where ratgdo are not discoverable. I've updated my two ratgdos with ESPHome firmware. They are both reachable and controllable from the web interface, but discovery throws errors on both. I had deleted the prior version of plugin and installed version 4.0.8 in the same slot. What do you need for debugging?
