boto3 import fails

[Panda88]

hi

I get the following message after installing with a VUE3 device

2025-01-25 22:22:54.449 MainThread udi_interface ERROR udi_interface:write: import boto3

2025-01-25 22:22:54.449 MainThread udi_interface ERROR udi_interface:write: ModuleNotFoundError

2025-01-25 22:22:54.450 MainThread udi_interface ERROR udi_interface:write: No module named 'boto3'

any ideas?

did you you install the dev packages on the IoX? Some of the modules need stuff from there to work.

I did not do it, but I can give it a try - was trying to keep system "clean"

 

[bpwwer]

Unfortunately, because of the way Python works (and Python is what most plug-in's are written in), it sometimes needs things that are part of the development packages on the Polisy/eisy.

Most Python packages are available for the OS that the Polisy/eisy is built on in ready to be used form, but some are not and typically are available in source only form.  When they are only available in source form, they need to be compiled on the Polisy/eisy to be used.  To compile them, we need the compilers installed and they only get installed if you install the dev packages.

got it

Is there a way to limit the number of nodes - i.e. I only use 8 sensors - but it defaults to 16 

[bpwwer]

No, it just builds nodes for each sensor it finds in the data from Emporia. 

You can delete the nodes from the admin console, but the plug-in will re-create them the next time it restarts.

OK - I think Emporia just reports all 16 - I only have 8 connected to the device
