Recently lost the ability to expose Node-Server based nodes

Featured Replies

Posted

I recently upgraded to ISY v5.0.16 and Polyglot 2.2.3

Previously, I had exposed several of my Lifx and Harmony node server nodes via the ISY portal so that I could control these via Alexa.

( e.g. "Alexa, turn on stereo")

Now, If I open the Amazon Echo device list in the portal, I can see my previously-configured nodes (See attached example of my page 11)

If I click to edit one of these nodes, the My Device field is blank and can't be edited.

If I try to add any Node Server-based devices, these are no longer shown in the list of available devices.

Devices configured prior to the upgrade can still be controlled by Alexa but new Node Server-based sub-nodes cannot be added.

I am not sure which upgrade caused the problem.

Thanks Benoit,

Here is the output that you requested. I think that you are onto something. The now non-working nodes all have a type = 0.0.0.0

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Michel,

For me, the affected node servers are LiFX v2.1.16 and Harmony Hub v2.2.5

I am using Polyglot v2.2.3 and ISY v5.0.16

 

Any node with a nxxx_yyyyyyyy address except for the base controller nodes is now not shown in the My Device portal drop down selections.

eg. I do have a "LiFX controller (n005_controller)" node in the ISY Portal "My Device" drop down selection but none of the individual LiFX light nodes appear in this drop-down. Previously, these were there and I was able to expose individual LiFX lamps as devices.

I had a few minutes so tried restoring a good backup of ISY v. 5.0.15A to rule out either ISY or Polyglot as the cause for this. 

Restoring the ISY backup did NOT solve the problem so I suspect that the cause for not able to expose the node-server based nodes has something to do with the Polyglot v. 2.2.3 upgrade.

Upgrading Polyglot to v. 2.2.4 did not resolve the issue either.

I made a change to ISY Portal. Nodes with a hint of 0.0.x.x should now appear as a dimmable light.

Can you please test it?

Thanks,

Benoit

Thanks Benoit!!

Confirmed, yes, the node-server nodes are now present in the drop-down selection and populated once again in the existing portal-exposed nodes.

Thanks for your help with this!
