@Francois Also not present in the discovery?

[Francois]

@John yes it is also not in discovery

[John]

@Francois Gimme half an hour

[EDIT] A bit longer, the devices proxy mapping (devices used in plugins) is misbehaving.[/EDIT]

[tortoisedoc]

@John thanks for the fix, will test it later today. Is the latest build still good to go?

[John]

@tortoisedoc Sending and receiving data is not influenced by the discovery utilities. It is possible new devices are not found (which have an ID assigned). But this should not be the case for nodes which are requesting an id (this is still handled by the driver).

The path to the hardware is now completely open after receiving of the gateway started message. I will in the meantime ask an other user if he has an issue with the request for the version number from the gateway

[John]

@Francois I have continued the normal development path of this feature. Otherwise i would be "hacking" the code and then remove this to be able to continue normally. I do have a quick build ready, could you check the latest build (510) if it is working for you?

[Francois]

@John This version (510) fix the issue and it did discovered the sensor. Thanks

[John]

@Francois Good!
@tortoisedoc Are you able to use the node assignment?

[Francois]

@John I must say that you product is getting better with every release. This new discovery process that you now add is making things ever easier to add sensors to the system Thanks for all the hard work that you are putting into this project. I real appreciate this. Keep up the good work. You product just work and I don't have to worries about it.

[John]

@Francois Thanks for your kind words! Too bad you didn't download the release on the builder this evening, you have fallen in a test sequence ;).

When the routine is completely implemented i will post a follow up on this feature.

[Francois]

@John I never skip an release the moment there is new release I installed.

Unfortunately not.

See here: appLog.txt
At this point, im starting to suspect about the PI. The miniterm shows correctly the gateway startup tho.

[ceburge]

Getting this error with the 510 build.

[John]

@tortoisedoc The only thing i see is a gateway ready message, i do not see any node presenting or asking for a node address. I suspect that this information is also not available in miniterm. If it is, you have to try again without miniterm cause this then is interfering.

[John]

@ceburge Is this a fresh install or an update? If this is an update please clear the browser cache and re-open the browser

It was indeed an update. The clearing of the browser cache did the trick. Thanks alot.
By the way. Love your work you are doing with PiDome. It is user friendly and something that most people can funtion in. Keep up
the good work.

[John]

@ceburge Thanks! And that's exactly the thought behind the project (not in the beginning because it was a personal thingy, but has grown in to), try to create something most people would be able to use. It still needs a lot of work, but it's getting there. We have planned very exciting stuff!

PiDome relies heavily on the browser cache, one of the reasons why it responds relatively quick in most situations. So if there is any error with title "Interface error", clear the cache ;).

Cheers!

P.S. the reason for this error is due to the fact the messaging has been optimized, where possible device values which can be updated are now in one single message instead of four (if a device has four controls and/or data fields).

@John Ok, here more logging:
appLog.txt

There is actually data coming in - but the visual part is empty both in the driver's section as well as the "new" section for non-discovered devices.

PS I tested this in Chrome as well as in Firefox;

and the result is empty :

I believe there may be something wrong with the serial driver now. It was working like a charm in a previous build. Not sure what that build was though. I decided to update to the 510 version build due to the fact that I could never get my MQTT Gateway to auto discover devices. However I decided to go ahead and test what I already had working in the new build and it doesn't function correctly.

I am including an image of the drivers page I now see when using a serial connection. App log i there to if you want to look at it

appLog.txt

[John]

@tortoisedoc and @ceburge The builds on the build server are still test builds regarding discovery and driver web front end API. They are getting more stable but is still a work in progress. The builds which are following up are tests to test the progress of the current development roadmap regarding these.

This is a known issue and am working on it while the development progresses.

Excuse for any inconvenience, hope to have this functionality done asap.

P.S. I'm looking into the possibility to also have the node address requests being passed to the discovery collection page, all though it is a complete different internal process trying to make it coherent.
