RainMachine - HeartBeat -1 normal?

[Scyto]

I just added a rainmachine to me setup and then recalled you had one and came here to looksee

 

I downloaded the latest nodesetup.zip

I configured the rainmachine in the nodelink UI

I installed the nodesetup.zip

i clicked install nodes

 

I see a heartbeat and my program (the heartbeat says -1)

I don't see any zones

I don't see status of a rain detector (i think thats normal as i suspect you don't support that item?)

 

This is what i see in logs - i note an ISY logon error, which is odd but very like the issues I saw 'way back when' when nodelink first came out....

 

any suggestions - should i try another nodesetup.zip uploade / reboot ISY cycle?

I had been looking at the Rachio , but the interface to the ISY is messy at best

Is the rainachine the best way to go at this point ???

[io_guy]

I need a different log.

2016-07-22 15:34:04 - ISY: Variable rain1-GV1 replaced in queue (Val: 1, QS: 159)

 

You have 159 items in your queue meaning some send much before this piece of log was failing.

 

The 404s on trying to add nodes means they already exist in the ISY.  This is a UDI bug.

The heartbeat should be toggling 1/-1

 

Try hitting the install nodes after you see data from the RainMachine.  It won't install zones until it actually see how many you have from the RainMachine.

[Scyto]

Thanks @io_guy - i think there some odd issues.

 

When i went to rainmachine nodelink page i got 'Not authorized - Please setup valid ISY password'

 

The one rainmachine program i have shows up in ISY just not the zone and i have yet to see heartbeat change (maybe i need to set a light to blink when it changes)

 

I rebooted nodelink (0.5. and clicked install nodes - there is the logs, it is not even sending the zones (yet lists them on the nodelink webpage)

I am thinking the invalid password error below is it trying to create the new nodes....?:

I also still get this on the main nodelink page with regular frequency "HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found Connection: close"

 

I also just realized the config page is inconsistent 75% of the time these items do not appear on the page at all!

Your first code snip just shows it failed to install nodes.  No idea what you are trying to say in the second code paste.

 

The only time I've seen login errors like that are when the profile number in the ISY does not match NodeLink.  Did you say you have another NodeLink device already up and running?

[Scyto]

Hi, sorry the second paste was supposed to be the UI text that sometimes is there and sometimes is not - it lost formatting  - I now see this text more often - turning off verbose logging seems to have helped. Though i still get lots of "HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found Connection: close" when refreshing my browser.  But perhaps all that is unrelated to rain machine issues.

 

My ISY is configured with two nodes. ISYLink on profile 1 and Hue Lights on profile 5 provided by polyglot.  Nodelink and polyglot are both running on the same Pi.  See attached.

 

what does the "2016-07-25 13:31:48 - ISY Error: Login failure (verify ISY password on the system config page)" error mean - given that the username and password is fine and working for everything else?

[io_guy]

It means the web response from the ISY returned 400 unauthorized response.

 

Enable verbose log on the main NodeLink screen, reboot and PM me the full log, not a snip.

I am not sure what you mean by best?  what is it you want / need?

 

I just switched from 'blossom' which had been a big disappointment since their original kickstarter.  I chose the rainmachine mini-8 due to how many APIs they worked with and the easy integration with my netatmo system.  I got a click rain sensor to gfo with it.

 

I still had to setup a baseline of how much i wanted each zone to get watered.  It seems to adjust. when it detects real rain.

 

I like that it can run without need of the cloud service if i want.  I like it has onboard web server.
