Fing won't show some device(s). How can I recover

IP 192.168.0.10 is my Airport Express.
It used to show up properly, but since I "Reset All Devices" last week, it has disappeared.

I can see it the the fing.log:

Code: Select all

2018/08/16 00:19:19;up;192.168.0.10;;;F0:D1:A9:0C:72:44;


but it doesn't show up when I "save ipDevices to file" or in the indigo devices window.

One other device also disappeared (a MacBook Pro). 23 other devices are behaving just fine, including another Mac, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, etc.
.
How can I figure out what black hole these disappeared into and recover them?

My bad. Looks like I have a bug in an event script (from the indigo log):

Code: Select all

  Trigger                         new device discovered
   Embedded script executor host started
   Script Error                    embedded script: 'key name FingEventDevChangedIndigoId not found in database'
   Script Error                    Exception Traceback (most recent call shown last):

     embedded script, line 3, at top level
KeyError: 'key name FingEventDevChangedIndigoId not found in database'


What variable can I use to get the indigo device ID, so I can log(email) other details about it?

PS I'm running fingscan version 7.29.31, which I believe is the latest.

posted a new version v7.29.32 on GitHub.com/kw123/fingscan (should show up in plugin store soon )

it will populate 2 variables:

ipDevsLastDevChangedIndigoName shows the indigo device NAME with last status change
FingEventDevChangedIndigoId shows the indigo device ID that triggered a finscan EVENT

hope that helps

Using the indigo console, I don't see either of those variables:

>>> print indigo.variables['ipDevsLastDevChangedIndigoName']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'key name ipDevsLastDevChangedIndigoName not found in database'
>>> print indigo.variables['FingEventDevChangedIndigoId']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'key name FingEventDevChangedIndigoId not found in database'

I do see :

>>> print indigo.variables["ipDevsNewDeviceNo"]
description :
folderId : 1147016421
globalProps : MetaProps : (dict)
id : 1496645261
name : ipDevsNewDeviceNo
pluginProps : emptyDict : (dict)
readOnly : False
remoteDisplay : True
value :
>>> print indigo.variables["ipDevsNewIPNumber"]
description :
folderId : 1147016421
globalProps : MetaProps : (dict)
id : 591831393
name : ipDevsNewIPNumber
pluginProps : emptyDict : (dict)
readOnly : False
remoteDisplay : True
value :

which are empty at present because no event has triggered.
Is there another way to access the two variables you mentioned?

Did you upgrade to the latest version


And check out the indigo variables view.
If the variables are there you can access them in a script


Good practice is

Code: Select all

try:
   Do your thing
except:
   Indigo.server.log(“error”)# you can be more specific

this will show the state (status) of the fingscan device that changed last

Code: Select all

devName = indigo.variables['ipDevsLastDevChangedIndigoName'].value
if len(devName) > 0:
    dev   = indigo.devices[devName]
    state = dev.states["status"]
    indigo.server.log(state)


and this one the same for the FINGEVENT (this one uses ID not name!!)

Code: Select all

devID = indigo.variables['FingEventDevChangedIndigoId'].value
if len(devID) > 0:
    dev   = indigo.devices[int(devID)]
    state = dev.states["status"]
    indigo.server.log(state)


Yes, I have the latest version of fingscan:

versionCheck for com.karlwachs.fingscan installed: 7.29.31

.

Yes I'm familiar with the variable view window. It doesn't show either of the two variables you mention, only these similar names in the "folder IP Devices": ipDevsLastUpdate, ipDevsNewDeviceNo, ipDevsNewIPNumber, ipDevsNoOfDevices.

I browsed your code. I see where you create and delete the variable 'FingEventDevChangedIndigoId'

if init:
try: indigo.variable.delete("FingEventDevChangedIndigoId")
except: pass

try:
indigo.variable.create("FingEventDevChangedIndigoId",folder=self.FINGscanFolderID)
except: pass

I think "self." in the above is an error. FINGscanFolderID is used as a local variable in other places. I don't see it being created as an object member. That would explain why I don't see it -- it's being put into an undefined folder.

Also, I can't find any mention of 'ipDevsLastDevChangedIndigoName' in plugin.py. You must have meant one of those I listed above.

Then you likely you do not have the latest version. May be I have posted an old one.
I am out. Back in 2 hours.

indeed on the plugin store was v7.29.31 and on GitHub the latest7.29.32. sorry for that, somehow I forgot to push from GitHub to indigo store.

please download .32. the variables should all work

Karl

jtburgess... does it work for you now?

I'm now running the latest

Started plugin "fingscan 7.29.32"

and I can see both variables we've been discussing.

Thanks!

Now I need to rework my Actions to use the new info.
