Paul,
 
Thanks for reaching out. The local hub is currently out of stock, and we don’t have an estimated arrival date for the next shipment at this time. Please check again next month or so.

Thanks for the heads up!   Just ordered mine as well.

Do we have a level of confidence that the YoLink node server works with the new hub?

[Panda88]

I have a beta release i can provide.   a new node is needed to support local integration.  it should run fine with existing node if no local integration is needed

note i am travelling so supporting the beta node will be slower and more difficult as i do not have access to my setup

@Panda88 I’d love to start playing with a beta now that my hub is here within days. Understand the limited support with you travelling, but could start generating questions and feedback for discussion. I’d also like to play a bit myself with some direct programming to understand it, your beta will be a useful jump start for that. 
thanks again for your work on this ahead of us, your current plugin is well integrated in my system.

aounds good.  ill try to get access to internet (vpn) and release as a beta today (i hope)

there is limited difference from the original node besides the need for a different authorization 

[Panda88]

may not be until tomorrow. i cannot get my VPN stable

So, does one simply add the new hub to the account and replace the existing credentials and secret key in the node server with a new one from the app once the new hub added?

you need new node. you keep the existing uuid and secret but need to add the local key as well. ( see earliervin thread how to get it)

the hub will work as existing hub without the local key   once added (with the new node server) and devices are made local (on uolink app) it should work as existing app.  

[Panda88]

Just pushed the YolinkLocalBe to the non-production node store 

You need to enter IPaddress and SUBNET_ID,  local client_id and local_client_secret (from Yolink app) 
Set mode to hybrid (probably not needed any more) - there is no true local mode - it communicated through the hub to the internet and only allows local operation if internet is not connected -

I am only seeing Yolink test in non-production.

Will the new local plugin install in the same slot as yolink production is in or will this require pointing all programs to the new node?

[Panda88]

I am not sure what happened - I pushed it - it showed up and was later removed - It happens often to me - not sure why

I have not tried to replay the original node - It will have a different node id, but nodes should have the same names and addresses - it may work and it may not

I added a new TSTyolinkLocal - hopefully this one makes it through 

 

[TJF1960]

YoLinkTest is still the only title in non-production and it wont let me install over production Yolink slot.

I do recall I had my fair share of issues  getting some of my plugins to stick in both non and production stores too. I never did figure out the rhyme or reason.

Try now - it shows on my other eISY now (It always shows on the one used to release) 

[oberkc]

I see both YoLinkTest and TSTYolinkLocal.

[Panda88]

YolinkTest is for different purposes.  ill remove it later as changes have propagated to the production node

[TJF1960]

TSTYolinkLocal is in the beta store now. Sadly it will not install in the production version slot.

[Panda88]

I was expecting that - I had to create a new node to get it on the non-production store 

[sjenkins]

Received my unit and set it up through the app. All is fine in app, Got the customer number & customer pass I need setting up the local network. 
Ran the curl statement to get the access token and no joy, just times out. 
Tried from a few computers & played with the curl. Just even to get an error response, just server time-out. 
Are the instructions right on or did anyone need to play with them?  I did not add any devices yet to the local if that matters. 
I know this isn’t a node question per se but appreciate it if anyone has some breadcrumbs. 
 

btw: the node did install just fine ; didn’t get all the data it needed because of above.

Where are the instructions? The More Info link on the store page is inop. and there are no instructions in the plugin config page.

after following the included documentation with the local hub at:

https://www.yosmart.com/support/YS1606-UC/docs/instruction

which will get you the client_id , client_secret , and local net ID

the below is the specific to get the access token

http://doc.yosmart.com/docs/overall/qsg_local

with all the above and the ip you can fill in the config of the local yolink plugin
