changes in V7.39.370@ 2021-05-13
==================
1. added warning levels for excessive time used to consume data for unifi devices
set in config at bottom in EXPERT section

changes in V7.39.3720@ 2022-02-09


needed for controller v 6.5.55 and greater:

changed check of port number to python-request and add option in config to not check port number
this is needed for controller V >= 6.5.55 as curl does not connect anymore, all connections to controller need now python-request module

There is a new version 7.40.374 available now,
That can run under MAC OS 12.3.. AFTER indigo 2022 is released

!!! do not upgrade to MAC OS12.3 (Monterey) yet !!!,

But this release should work fine with indigo 2021 and 2022 and older versions

I would appreciate if someone could test this with the current indigo releases ie 2021 and older.
It was tested under indigo 2022 Mac OS 12.3 and Indigo 2021 and MAC OS 12.2, but naturally not all functions.

The older versions of this plugin (< 7.40.374) will NOT run under MAC OS 12.3 (even with indigo 2022 )

Karl

changes in V7.40.375@ 2022-04-03
==================
added stats for wait times,
in menu "PRINT Communication and processing stats":.
this is useful to understand if the plugin has performance problems. This is not new functionalityfor the user.

The log output will look like:

It shows the modules that wait and the modules that cause any waits for others.
In my setup the max wait time for any data processing is 5.7 seconds and happened once in about 10 hours.
Indigo devices can be updated from different sources: switches, AP , router ... They should not update the same device at the same time. That is why the plugin serializes the actual updates
Sometimes 2 processes want to update at the same time. To solve this a wait mechanism is used. First update process goes through, the other has to wait.
This log print out shows who is waiting from whom and how often and how long.

So if you have a problem with performance, I might ask you you send me this info.

changes in V7.40.377@ 2022-04-20
==================
1. fixed status did not got up --> down (one tab was missing)

[jay (support)]

NOTE: Indigo 2022.1 has solved the compatibility issue with macOS Monterey 12.3+.

v7.40.378

1. fixed waitqueue for stats analysis, gave sometimes an error.. when queue was empty
2. some dev state updated did not work properly, when multiple updates to the same dev/state were in the queue

==> this release is indigo 2022.1 compatible, but still runs under python 2.7 for backwards compatibility.
This will be the last version that runs under python 2.7 and older indigo releases. Only if there is a major bug it will be be fixed<==

Any future improvement will require indigo 2022.1 and will run under python 3.x

Karl

Upgraded and got

Code: Select all

Reloading plugin "uniFiAP 7.40.378"
   Starting plugin "uniFiAP 7.40.378" (pid 1078)
   uniFiAP Error                   Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plugin.py", line 25, in <module>
ImportError: No module named queue

   Stopping plugin "uniFiAP 7.40.378" (pid 1078)
   Stopped plugin "uniFiAP 7.40.378"


The plugin does not restart, on its own or manually. I'm running on an older system, not Python 3.

Downgraded to 7.39.373 and it all came back up.

changes in V7.40.379@ 2022-05-19
==================
1. fixed: No module named queue


Karl

I'm not upgraded to 2022.1 yet, but unlike several other plugins, I see a "download available" icon for UnifiAP when looking at the plugin menu, but the new version specifically says it is for 2022 only. Other plugins like this have a red download available icon.

Perhaps I'm in a unique situation between OS versions and such?

[jay (support)]

A black arrow means that there is a newer version of the plugin in the store that's compatible, but not necessarily that it's the latest version. Switch to the releases tab and find the most recent one that says it runs on your version of Indigo.

Ok, I have no idea what I did wrong before, but now 7.4.379 is working for me.

thanks.

changes in V7.40.380@ 2022-06-03
==================
1. replaced all f = open() with f=self.openEncoding() method that does the utf8 depending on sys.version_info[0] >2
2. fixed global name 'item' is not defined;


****** definitely the last version that runs under py2 ******
****** next releases WILL REQUIRE PY3 and indigo 2022.1 *****

it gets difficult to maintain code that runs under py2 and py3 and I can not use the nice features from py3.
so this is it.

Karl

changes in V2022.40.382@ 2022-06-27
==================
1. suppress error message that File suspended does not exist
2. added option to supress Exsessive time used ... set in config at the bottom
3. fixed error msg: state key previousStatusChange not defined

===> this will require indigo 2022 and py3 <===
