Info on controller configuration/setup?

[dwengrovitz]

I recently installed the ShellyRGBW2 node server and was able to successfully add a Shelly RGBW2 device to my eisy to control some LED strip lights.  I had to manually add the device to my PG3X config, as I could not get discovery to work. It doesn't look like the node server is really being maintained any more by the original developer. 

Does anyone have any insight on how to add the RGBW2 Controller to the configuration?  When attempting to do so through the admin console, the following dialog box is requested, but I wasn't able to find anything that indicated what data should go into the fields and how that should be formatted.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

@dwengrovitz I don’t use this plugin so can’t help with the setup or settings, but by chance did you reboot the admin console after adding the plugin and discovering nodes? The AC will only display new nodes from plugins after the admin console is restarted. It’s suggested not to have both open simultaneously if changes are being made so that admin console will load any changes made in polyglot. 

Did you read the info on the plugin page or the “more info” link to here:

@Geddy Thanks for your response.  Yes, I rebooted the admin console after adding the plugin, and I read the content on github, but I wasn't able to get the node server to auto discover anything.  After manually adding the RGBW2 device on the PG3x node server configuration screen it did show up in the admin console, and it appears to function.

The docs re: the node server on github are somewhat sparse, so I'm not quite sure what else to expect to see in the admin console. In many node servers there is some type of controller as well as devices, and in my case for this node server I only have a device. The option to add a controller appears to be available through the admin console but there's no info in what to put in any of the fields.  I've tried guessing at what to enter based on some of my config details but the results just come back as "Bad Request" so I'm clearly not putting the proper info in there.
