Need help getting started with YoLink Plugin

Long-time ISY-99i user and have also been using YoLink for a couple years now. Finally decided to integrate the two, and so just bought and installed my eisy. Got the old Insteon devices and scenes and programs up and running again, got the trial version of the YoLink plugin installed, and now can't figure out how to get my few dozen YoLink devices added and managed.

I did an Add All Nodes from the Yolink menu, but that didn't seem to do anything. I went to Add Node, but the menu has all sorts of repeats and I can't find things like the YoLink Plug (see attached screen shot). Sorry, but I literally don't know what to do next.

This is what my Configuration tab looks like, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

I just now went into the YoLink App and created/copied the UAID and SECRET_KEY variables into the "Custom Configuration Parameters". I won't post those here, obviously. Then I did a Restart and got a couple messages, one on YoLink(1) being Disconnected, then Connected.

OK, and now in the Admin Console I'm starting to see devices!

Still not finding instructions....

Sometimes the instructions don't populate until a reboot. But you need to fill in the 3 blank values.

Go to the Plugin store and click on the more button under the Yo link plugin. That should bring up the instructions.

If you can provide me with a log file where the water dept sensor posts data and ideally also an alarm (e.g lift it out of the water) , I can see if I can add it 

what other devices are not supported - I am willing to help to try to add them, but I need log files as the documentation from Yolink is minimal 

you can PM me the log file 

Also - what is the unit/type of theaparm setting - I can see it is a value from 0-1000 but not sure what it represents

This may be problematic as the "History" feature ("Get device activity logs") always comes up empty "No Logs Now."

I do get historical measurement data, but that's not the same thing. Are there other ways to grab logs in YoLink?

As for "theaparm," I don't know. My settings are:

Type - Fixed as "Water Depth Sensor"

Name

Room

Measure Range (5m or 10m) meters

Tank Depth in feet and inches

Unit (cm, m, ft)

Density (0.50-1.50) where water is 1.0

Alert for Water Depth range, alert reminder, alert interval

Recording Interval

 

 

Thanks for looking!

If you go to the log in the node interface.  There you can set level to debug.   Once that is set I would imagine you can lift the sensor out of the water or wait 4 hours,  The water sensor should report an update every 4 hours or so automatically and it should get logged.  Then download (save) the log from the log area - it will save a file you can PM me

My guess is the history you mention is alarm history 

You can see the definition for what can be programmed at WaterDepthSensor | YoSmart Doc

From the document it seems you can only get alarms when water is higher(or lower) than the alarm level - not a reading of the actual water level - but it may be in the reported data - just not shown in documentation (it is not the first time this happens)
