Hi @jkosharek, Not sure about the error you're getting from the beta-store install. Are you on an eISY or Polisy? Which PG and IoX versions? I'm traveling at the moment, won't be back at my terminal to help you troubleshoot for a few more days... Cheers.

Greetings, By default, on PG3/x you do not need user/PW for things to run. You do, however need to use port 1884. Hope that helps. Please use @TriLife to ping me. I'm out of town for a few days and not monitoring the forum. Cheers.

Thanks Bob, If VNC is supported, that makes life a lot simpler. No additional wires, eISY stays in the IT cabinet etc. I'll wait for @Michel Kohanim's input on what I need to do to get VNC set up that way. Cheers.

Greetings, A couple of questions on using the eISY as a desktop. 1- the unit has 2 HDMI outputs. But can I use just one of them to drive two monitors via a KVM switch in extended mode? (Trying to decide which KVM to buy) 2- what is the version and resolution of the HDMI outputs? 3- is it possible to use the eISY as a desktop with a remote access program like VNC or remote desktop (set up like a Raspberry Pi)? If so, which application would you recommend? I use VNC for my RPis and Remote Desktop for my Win PCs. Cheers.

Greetings; I'm expanding the MQTT node server that @xKing started a while ago. I added a "dimmer" device based on Tasmota. I can ON/OFF/DIM/BRIGHTEN from the AC and from the Tasmota web UI. When I use Google Voice, "Turn ON/OFF Dimmer" works as well. It doesn't respond to "DIM/BRIGHTEN Dimmer" or similar language like "SET dimmer to 30%". Notably absent from Google Home GUI are dim/bright controls! I did set the device up as a LIGHT in ISY Portal and it has hint = [2,9,0,0]. Any ideas? Thanks

Good Morning @EWhite, your MQTT node server should be asking you to upgrade (from Beta). Again! But this time you should see version 0.0.12 (Thanks @bpwwer) and that will hopefully be the last of it. Until someone asks for an iteration! Sorry for all the iterations.

Yes Sir. I was just educated on this topic of Version numbers. Will study up, release a new beta and let you know. No more vacay!

Is it working?

Hello @EWhite, Alright, version 0.0.12 is in the Beta Store, or you can go to: https://github.com/Trilife/udi-mqtt-pg3x.git To download it. Let me know, if this works and any other improvements you would like to see. Cheers.

Good morning. I got that modified, but am struggling with git🫣. Should be resolved today... I'll shoot you a mail, when it's done...

Yup, haven't forgotten about you and another user has run into the same issue. Unfortunately, I'll be tied up for a few more days. It's tax season in Colombia... Sorry about that

A thumbs up 👍 from me on that one. I'd much prefer metric as well. Thanks

Glad we got that cleared. Thanks for the explanation. You have some very happy chickens. If you don't hear from me by 15. Aug, I hereby grant you permission to bug me! Cheers

Good Catch @EWhite, I'll fix that when I get back home. It'll be a couple of weeks. As for the MqttCount, that comes from the way you configured the WeMos. Somehow it thinks you want it to act like a temp/humidity sensor, not just an ADC... You need to check with Tasmota. They have a pretty good user group on TasmotaUsers • sonoffusers@googlegroups.com Cheers

Greetings; Experimenting with different developer setups. I understand that eISY can be used as a desktop PC with XFCE on FreeBSD. That would require an additional monitor or two and a keyboard/mouse combo (or a KVM). I'm wondering, if one can also use a remote desktop, like I use VNC to access my Raspberry Pi, or maybe even the Windows Remote Desktop to get to XFCE. If so, can someone point me in the right direction please, in terms of what is recommended (VNC, Team Viewer, Windows Remote Desktop etc.) and maybe some install instructions? Cheers.

Thanks @Michel Kohanim, We have yet to see, if it works on other set ups. Eagerly looking forward to feedback. The hardest part was dealing with Git! Thanks to @bpwwer and @bmercier for their infinite patience.

Hello @EWhite; I put a Beta version of MQTT on the Non-Production Store (Beta-Store), which will give you Range etc and also has a dimmer function. It should be the second 0.0.11 in there (sorry) If you can't access that store, have a look at https://github.com/Trilife/udi-mqtt-pg3x This should get you going, provided you have a pure Analog set up. The reason I am saying this, is because you seem to have 3 MqttCounts in your set up: which produces additional data like AM2301: I tested the stet up on my Wemos D1, which only gives you one analog output: 17:41:06.501 MQT: tele/Creek/SENSOR = {"Time":"2023-07-26T17:41:06","ANALOG":{"Range":7}} Beware, as of now it only displays what it finds in RANGE, , TEMPERATURE, ILLUMINANCE, pH, and MQX. No units! Please let me know, if this works or not. Any and all feedback is welcome. This is my first node server (more of a modification, really). I'll be gone on vacation for a couple of weeks, so no updates until then. Cheers;

Good morning @EWhite I was able to replicate your findings on my local Wemos. Still would be good to get these answers. Here are my STATE and SENSOR outputs: 16:05:26.370 MQT: tele/Creek/STATE = {"Time":"2023-07-19T16:05:26","Uptime":"0T00:00:09","UptimeSec":9,"Heap":27,"SleepMode":"Dynamic","Sleep":50,"LoadAvg":19,"MqttCount":1,"POWER":"OFF","Wifi":XXXX} 16:05:26.435 MQT: tele/Creek/SENSOR = {"Time":"2023-07-19T16:05:26","ANALOG":{"Range":8}} note MqttCount: 1 in STATE and only Range in SENSOR...

Which template are you using for your WeMos D1? Do you need all the environmental data T/H/dew etc, or are you after just the analog input?

Hi @EWhite, So, if you look at this link, https://tasmota.github.io/docs/ADC/ You can set the output format you want. Select the "Range" option and stat/topic/Analog will give you the reading formatted that way. The MQTT NS will read it as per normal... No mods required. In configuring your MQTT devlist, All you need to do is change your cmd_topic to cmnd/topic/RANGE and status_topic to stat/topic/range. Or do it in the devfile, which I find a lot easier to write... If that doesn't work, let me know, I'll run some tests.

@EWhiteI see in your first post that you use a WeMos D1 EX... Not sure about the EX though. Please send me a link. I got the WeMos D1 mini running just fine ... Are you trying to monitor the WeMos supply voltage or an external battery?

Hi @EWhite, I'm just starting into adding to the MQTT Node Server with dimmer functionality. I'm a newbie, but have it almost working. I also have a need for analog, but am fine with it's current set up... If you specify exactly what you need (start with which device you are using!), and don't mind waiting until I figure things out... I'll be glad to help.

Greetings; I just set up my developer box eISY. If I understand the manual correctly, there is only one place where UserID/PW is set these days and that is in File/Set UserID/Admin Password. I did that. And kPG3x indeed accepted the user/pw assignment. 1. Question: But trying to SSH into the eISY I still have to enter admin/admin. Sudo commands also ask for "admin" as a password. And looking in /etc/passwd only shows "admin" (among a gazillion other items), not the user I assigned for Admin user in the admin console. Did I misunderstand something? If so, do I follow standard linux procedure to change the default password for SSH? 2. Question: Is there a particular reason that the admin console only lists "Admin User", "User 1", "User 2", etc, instead of actually listing the assigned user names? How do you keep track which User # has been assigned already, and which is available? 3. Question: How do you delete a user? Thanks

Hello @bpwwer, Thanks for your patience. For my current project, two values are of interest, in order of importance: 1. 'rainfall_last_60_min': 0, 2. 'rain_rate_hi_last_15_min': 0, Reason being if that number is high, I'm likely going to get turbid water in my creek and can open or close the sluice accordingly. For a pending project, the other two pieces of data would be: solar_rad: No huge hurry either. Unlike @Ross it pours constantly here, but my lake always ends up clear once the deluge slows down. Cheers;

Thanks Bob, Let me analyze that and give you the most useful values for what I'm trying to accomplish. Please give me a few days. Appreciate the help.
