Install Polyglot v2 on a Raspberry pi 3b+

[PeteEaston]

HI All,

I've been attempting to install the polyglot server from UDI for a couple of days now with no luck.

I've been following the instructions here: https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc/polyglot-v2
i flashed a new SD (32g)card with Raspberry Pi OS Lite(legacy) 
Everything seems to install correctly but when i try to access it at 192.168.88.74:3000, nothing
after some reading/googling if added a .env file to .polyglot dir and now i can reach it vis the web but get

Not connected to server... Try refreshing the page. This will disappear once the connection is re-established.

and if i remove the file it goes back to nothing.

I don't see any errors in the logs either

any ideas would be great

@PeteEaston  Not having any specific experience trying to install perhaps one of these recent posts can help:

I read the first one, but looking into the second.
thanks

Keep in mind polyglot v2 is deprecated.  You're building a short term solution, but it is a good way to discover node servers if you have hardware already. 

[PeteEaston]

I have the hardware and it was working great with polyglot cloud but with that removed I need to either rebuild it locally or find an alternative

The alternative is to purchase a Polisy. The current V2 node servers aren't being updated nor is polyglot V2 itself. You're wasting your time taking this route as it's only a matter of time before this setup breaks as well

[PeteEaston]

yeah, cant afford to spend $350-400 so my ISY knows what the weather is outside

Any news on this? I'm trying to install polyglot v2 and I'm getting the same problem. I'm kind of at a crossroad as to where I want to go with home automation and I don't want to buy a polisy until I'm sure which direction I want to go.

My ISY994 and RPi combo work just fine. I abandoned it for polisy for a few months but resurrected it again until some things settle down. The install was completely new and took some port redefining but works well for again the last few months.

The second link in the second post here will show you how to fix the issue. Did you read that?

EDIT: Actually - read the info at both of those links. Before I bought my Policy, I installed PG2 on an RPi and had the same problem until I found those posts.
