Best way to troubleshoot POLISY connection?

Featured Replies

Posted

When I close my bedroom door, my ecobee sets the temp down.  The last couple nights it hasnt worked.  I checked the Polisy and ecobee says its connected but in the ISY the Ecobee is not displaying an accurate temp.  How do I make sense of where the trouble is with the polisy?  I clicked restart on the Ecobee poly and that seemed to work.  What causes this?

Thanks

Just a notion with trying to fix some of my own odd snags..

Did you have a power outage a few days ago?
How many devices does your router report are connected when you open it's webpage?

No power outage.  I would have to check the devices next time it happens.

Thanks

Check the ecobee nodeserver log for errors, add a heartbeat monitor for it on the ISY to make sure it's always running. Post issues with the ecobee nodeserver in the subforum so other ecobee users see it sooner.

That is new thing for me.......  Can you explain what this "heartbeat monitor" is ?

It's mentioned in the doc https://github.com/Einstein42/udi-ecobee-poly

I understand now.... It is specific to Ecobee, which I don't have. I am a Nest guy :-)  ,   I thought that it was something to monitor any nodeserver., which could have been useful.

Thanks

All my nodeservers have heartbeats, and a couple others I added it to, but not Nest.

Jumbo, now you got me puzzled.......... What exactly is a "heartbeat"  ?

It's discussed here https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/25016-polyglot-nodeserver-monitoring/
The nodes sends a DON/DOF to the controller node every longpoll.

Thanks Jimbo. I have gone over the topic (your link above) and it refreshed my memory.  I have simple programs that alert me when one of my nodeservers are off line. This rarely happens and in fact almost exclusively when I restart the nodeserver in the Polisy Dashboard after an update. The only sensitive nodeserver, for me, is Google Holidays as this controls my wake-up programs. Thankfully this nodeserver is solid. Thanks again for your support.
