bpwwer Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Hello Everyone, This is the support thread for PG3 v3.1.20 Link to comment
auger66 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I assume this topic is for eISY and ver 3.1.25. Upgrade went fine, except the restart after upgrade didn't work. I couldn't open the Polyglot page. I tried three restarts and then repowered the eISY. That worked. I haven't had to repower in the past few updates, just restart. Link to comment

macjeff Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I have a message that ST Inventory needs an updae. I saw you took out the update on restart option. I could not find a way to update it. I restarted the nodeserver and after that a button appeared that said UPDATE under the configuration. It was not there before. I updated and all went well. Does the extra restart need to be done to get the UPDATE button to appear? I also wanted to note that if you go to the nodeserver and click on install this text is still there which is incorrect now NOTE: If you are trying to upgrade an existing installation of ST-Inventory, stop and re-start it from the dashboard. It will automatically load the newest version available. Installing from here will add the ST-Inventory to a new slot. Link to comment

I looked for but didn't see that support thread, but my comments are still the same about 3.1.25 on eISY. All good, except having to repower to get everything running again. Link to comment
vbPhil Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I read in the release email that one of the changes was; "ISY to IoX". Just wondered why I still see "ISY" everywhere? Link to comment

I'll see if I can make it check more often so you don't have to restart the node server. Thanks for pointing out the incorrect text. I'll get that fixed as well. Link to comment

Also, the "PolisyISY" will always be there because that's a name you used for the device. You could just change it to Polisy or something unique and it would change to "<new_word> Dashboard". On the eisy it's changed by going to IoX Configuration (Polisy looks like the "ISYs" menu) then "Edit Current IoX" and change the name there. Link to comment

No. ISY as the "service", just as it always has been. It's just that the device ("thing") was named "ISY994". IoX still stands for "ISY on Anything". So as a service, YES, ISY lives on (anything)! https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Eisy:User_Guide#ISY_on_Anything_(IoX) Link to comment
BigMojo Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Upgrade went fine, all seems operational but: Could some people check to see if their polyglot and pg3 log timestamps are offset by -2 hours? System time shows correctly through SSH. Let's just say that my box has some interesting challenges so YMMV but thought this was worth noting Link to comment
bpwwer Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 Mine are off by -2 as well, I'm looking into it. Link to comment
bpwwer Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 It's not a PG3 problem. It seems like something is really messed up w.r.t. the timezone info on the box. When write a simple program to display the time/date info I get: > console.log(date_ob.toTimeString()); 09:13:51 GMT-0900 (Pacific Standard Time) It should be Pacific Daylight Time which is GMT-0700. However Pacific Standard Time should be GMT-0800, so that's not right either. This appears to be a problem with the /etc/localtime file. It's not currently matching any existing timezone file. I'm guessing the timezone files were updated recently but the /etc/localtime file wasn't also updated to match. If I run sudo tzsetup -r it fixes the /etc/localtime to use one of the valid timezone files and then I get the right time in PG3 after restarting it. 1 Link to comment

I'm seeing the same thing and the correction worked fine. Link to comment
DennisC Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 @bpwwer It looks like PG3 on v3.1.20 is not showing messages when there is an update ready for a node server. I just checked after being told there was an update to the Elk node server. I found there were two node servers that had updates available and I had to go to Purchase - Reinstall to get the updates. Stopping and starting the node server didn't trigger the update. Link to comment
bpwwer Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 It won't automatically try update anymore. Each installed node server checks for updates when it is started and if it sees one available, it will display a notice and add an update button to the node server details page. Clicking the update button is a basically a shortcut to the purchases -> re-install page. It still should be doing global checks for updates every 8 hours same as it was before. It seemed to be working as intended when I tested it, but I only test with a small number of node servers (mostly my own since I can't make updates to other developer's node servers). Link to comment
DennisC Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I realized there was no auto update, I was only trying to give you all the information. Definitely there was no update notices. The node servers were Elk and Notification. Link to comment
bpwwer Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Thanks @DennisC I meant to imply that I'd look into more, but I probably should have been more clear on that. Link to comment

It would be nice if there was a way to see all the current versions of each node server on the list of either the store or purchases so that I know which node servers need to be restarted / reinstalled to update them w./o having to go look at each one, note its version, and then go back to the store and click through to find the current version. The updates aren't happening very well. For example, just looked at my Weatherflow NS. it was one version behind, even though I have recently updated packages, restarted, IOX, restarted PG3 several time. Am I missing something? thanks.

My daily routine is to go to the store, click on the MODIFIED column and see the latest ones to be modified. Yes it would be nice to have a quick glance. That is what is supposed to happen on the dashboard. You should get a notice but I have seen it not worked on older installs and also it seems delayed. I also wish updating was easier.

bpwwer Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 With changes to allow for different types of purchase options, checking for updates got a lot more complicated as not all node servers have updated to the latest purchase option format in the store. Yes, I'm aware of the issues and how badly it is currently working. Unfortunately , fixing it is not at the top of Michel's priority list for PG3 updates right now. 1 1 Link to comment
oberkc Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Ever since upgrading to IoX5.6.0 and PG3 3.1.20, I get a regular occurrence that the PG3 becomes disconnected from the ISY. Power cycling temporarily solves the problem, but it returns the next day. I have initiated a ticket with UDI. Link to comment

Maybe a simple interim answer would be to have 'admin' type of postings for releases for each NS section of the forum so at least there is a place to validate each one? Link to comment
