Bumbershoot

Good idea -- control it logically, but not physically! That would completely solve the problem... Thanks.

I'm using the LiFX nodeserver on my Polisy right now. The only requirement is that the lifxlan module gets installed, but that's a cinch if it isn't automatically installed upon the general release of Polisy. The performance of my existing LiFX bulbs is very good. At less than .5 watts in standby, there's not much of a penalty for leaving them on. I very much appreciate hearing about your experience with using these bulbs in conjunction with a dimmer, as well as with the outdoor bulbs. Thanks again.

I guess I can answer my own question: Wattage on Standby <0.5W I guess I don't need to be overly concerned.

That's exactly what I've been doing, and it's a great solution for my needs. I'm hoping to do that this year as well, but I don't want to swap that dimmer out, either (it's in a 3-gang switch box, and I hate getting into those). Thanks. Do you leave the LiFX bulbs in all year? If so, how do they hold up? I probably would switch them out in January, as my HOA won't go for colored external lights outside of the holidays.

I set up logrotate on my RPi, and was pleased. Polyglot, I believe prior to the version 2 series, used to rotate its logs. Somewhere along the line, it didn't. I understood that this was to be re-implemented at some point, but I haven't seen it happen yet.

For a test, I've been running a LiFX bulb attached to an LampLinc dimmer for a few weeks. If the "on" value of the LampLinc is set to anything other than 100%, the results are predictably unpredictable. However, if the "on" value is set to 100%, the bulb acts the same as all the rest of my LiFX bulbs, which are controlled by SwitchLinc On-Off switches. My question is: is there any risk, other than possible damage to a spendy bulb, in continuing this experiment into production? The use case I have in mind: I would like to install a SwitchLinc in a spot that currently has an standard single-pole switch. The bulb this controls is currently a LiFX bulb. The switch is very seldom toggled, and is in a location that guests, etc. are unlikely to visit. I don't have any more Insteon SwitchLinc On-Off switches of the old style, but I do have a couple of Insteon SwitchLinc dimmers available. If the "On Level" is set to 100% and the "Ramp Rate" is set to 0.1 seconds, and the paddle is only used to turn the switch on and off (the same with programmatic control), should I expect anything undesirable? Is anyone successfully using SwitchLinc dimmers with smart bulbs? Admittedly, I should probably buy a new SwitchLinc On-Off switch and move on, but I may not want the LiFX bulb there forever. I may swap it out for a conventional LED bulb, at which point, I'll want the dimmer. Also, has anyone measured the "vampire current" used by these type of bulbs when they're logically off but physically on?

FWIW - I have 150M in my Polyglot log after 6½ days.

Yep, sure enough. [admin@polisy /var/polyglot/nodeservers/LiFX]$ locate nfsd /etc/rc.d/nfsd /usr/sbin/nfsd /usr/sbin/nfsdumpstate /usr/sbin/pnfsdscopymr /usr/sbin/pnfsdsfile /usr/sbin/pnfsdskill /usr/share/man/man8/nfsd.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/nfsdumpstate.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/pnfsdscopymr.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/pnfsdsfile.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/pnfsdskill.8.gz EDIT: No Samba, though.

In the meantime, if unix2dos doesn't become available, you can use the 'tr' command -- which is already on Polisy -- to convert those Dos files into something usable in Unix. tr -d '\015' < DOS-file > UNIX-file Gets rid of those pesky carriage returns. Just make sure that Unix-file has a different name.

Agreed, an Emacs install is huge, and if you haven't spent countless hours working with it, it's obtuse, obscure and difficult. Nano is pretty easy for the casual user, which argues in it's favor. The default of vi should at least be functional for the intended crowd in this release. If you think you're going to need to have users editing files after the general Polisy release, then I'd suggest including nano.

The Camera nodeserver. See this post. It appears to get hung up on a DNS query. @Jimbo is aware of the problem, and there's no particular urgency for a fix on my part.

I suspect that: sudo systemctl enable polyglot-v2 will do the job for you.

I wonder on which filesystem UDI will put the ISY files when they migrate over to this hardware?

Polyglot failed for me when I was on 2.2.5_4, but it now works with the latest release (yesterday afternoon) of 2.2.5_5.

I haven't tried it, but this ought to work, provided you have a standard Polyglot installation: sudo systemctl disable polyglot-v2

I have one nodeserver that doesn't run yet on the Polisy, so I'm running that one on my RPi still. If you want a clean swap, you might want to wait until some declares success with installing all your nodeservers on the Polisy. It's not that big a deal here, as I still have NodeLink and some other things running my RPi, so it's not going away immediately. This configuration seems to run alright (as in the ISY doesn't complain). The nodeservers on the other device show up with a Current Status as "Unmanaged" in the Dashboard, just as nodeservers on the PGC show up as "Unmanaged" on the local instance of Polyglot. It's not ideal, but I suspect I could go on like this indefinitely.

Nope, but I’ll rebuild over morning coffee. EDIT: all done, not too big of a deal.

All my nodeservers are reporting as "Unmanaged". Slots 3, 4, 6 ,8 and 9 should be running on Polisy (see screenshot).

polyglot 2.2.5_5 I might be getting ahead of things here, but this might help. 2019-10-30 16:46:59 [polyglot] info: MQTTS: Client Connected: 2019-10-30 16:46:59 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/connections/# QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/frontend/# QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/frontend/settings QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/frontend/nodeservers QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/frontend/log QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/ns/# QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: MQTTC: Subscribed to udi/polyglot/profile/# QoS 0 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] debug: ISY: 404 - http://192.168.1.10:80/rest/config/ 2019-10-30 16:47:00 [polyglot] error: ISY: Could not get Version.

Yep, I didn't have the file either. sudo touch .env I used vi as well to enter the content. Scary... It's been 20 years since I've used vi, and I swore I'd never use it again. Emacs forever! ?

My pleasure, kind sir!
