JerryR Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I'm attempting to connect a Ring Mailbox sensor to my EISY. All software is at current releases. I followed instructions gratefully provided by @macjeff but am having an issue. I created a node in the Poly on Key 78 as shown in the documentation and connected ring to Isy via the Portal. The node name is Mailbox Active (see screen shot). When ring attempts to activate the virtual device, or when I attempt to turn it on in the Admin Console, the Poly returns an error saying the address/key (78) does not exist (see screen shot). What am I missing? THanks in advance for your help.
JerryR Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 I uninstalled and then reinstalled this Poly. Now only the base control node is being created. The Nodes for the specified variables are not being created. Can I force the poly to create the nodes for each virtual variable? I've tried restarting the Poly but no joy. I did notice in the log that the following error is happening during the startup: WARNING interface:db_getNodeDrivers: controller not found in database. Additional question: How do you create multiple variables of the same key/type? If I use Key 78 and a variable name, and then add another 78, with a different variable name, it only keeps the latter.
JerryR Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 Here you go. I blanked the PW for the screen shot but they appear to be accepted. Not visible here but Short Poll and Long poll are the default 30 & 240. Thanks for your help.
gzahar Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I see the issue. The key values used to be tied to variables (and their ids) when the plugin was first created. They aren't anymore. As stated each key must be unique, you can't use 78 more than once. There is no reason to not start with 1, 2, etc. For the value, you need to put in the word switch, dimmer, etc. This will create a node in the eisy labeled 1 (maybe with a nxxx_ prefix, I don't remember). You can then rename it (on eisy) whatever you want.
