I notice that the server status goes from green to disconnected whenever I do a software update on blue iris. I need to manually restart the blue iris node server to return the server status to green. Is there a way to automatically restart the node server when this disconnection condition occurs?

@GTench I got the same trouble, did you every find a solution?

@fahrer16, can this plugin be fixed to resolve this issue?

Added extra question.

@Whitehambone no, it would be nice if the node server could be restarted via a program if it disconnects but as far as I know this is not possible. I also tried setting the state to green and/or doing a re-discover in a program if it disconnects but that did not work. It also did not work if I did in manually from the AC. Right now I am trying using a program to notify me if it is disconnected then I will manually restart it

I no longer run any node servers or have Blue Iris, unfortunately, so I have no way to test.  If you're comfortable going in and making a tweak to your local blue-iris-poly.py file, I think adding "self.connect()" to line 121 might do the trick.  That's the section that sets the connection status to "disconnected", so adding that would have it try to reconnect.

@fahrer16, so put "self.connect()" right after this line?

self.setDriver('GV1',3) #If there was an error querying theelf.setDriver('GV1',3) #If there was an error querying the server, set the status to "Disconnected" so that the ISY can trigger an appropriate action (after a time delay set in ISY program).^M
