For some reason I am getting 5 extra, duplicate nodes which are all empty. I have deleted them once in PGX, but upon a restart of the NS, they showed up again. They are nodes 10-14. I have a MCA-88 with 8 zones. So I should have 9 nodes: 1 for the controller, and 8 more for each zone.

From the Russound controller directly:

Any ideas? Info log attached.

Thanks.

From the log, these are the nodes that the plug-in is creating:

2025-12-11 10:41:30.915 Thread-6 (start) udi_interface.interface INFO     interface:addNode: Adding node Bedroom Sound(zone_1_1) [None]
2025-12-11 10:41:31.915 Thread-6 (start) udi_interface.interface INFO     interface:addNode: Adding node Laundry Room Sound(zone_1_2) [None]

2025-12-11 10:41:36.922 Thread-6 (start) udi_interface.interface INFO     interface:addNode: Adding node Deck Sound(zone_1_7) [None]
025-12-11 10:41:37.923 Thread-6 (start) udi_interface.interface INFO     interface:addNode: Adding node Garage Sound(zone_1_8) [None]

So it doesn't look like the plug-in is creating those extra nodes. However, after it has set the initial values for those 8 nodes, it reports 5 errors:

node address zone_1_10 does not exist ... node address zone_1_14 does not exist when it tries to query those nodes.

The log doesn't show the plug-in creating them and it's not clear from the log where they are coming from, could be either the PG3x database or IoX. I'd suggest deleting them from both places and then restart to see if they come back.

How they got there in the first place is something I have no way of knowing without seeing a debug log from the plug-in from when they first appeared.

took me two times but they look like they finally went away! thanks!
