Dead Edgerouter Lite 3.

With the 2 more children about to come in a few weeks we definitely need to be able to support a more devices in a few years but 20k is pushing it, unless they've thrown an insane party.

Karl, as I'm changing around IP addresses it looks like I've lots of old plugin devices created with duplicates of online ones. Can I safely delete all UniFi created ones in the knowledge that next time they come in line they will be recreated?

Yes
Only if you set a device to ignore it will not be recreated

that should actually not happen.

A new device should only be created when the MAC number of a device is new/different, not when any other property changes ie not when the IP# changes.

if you have 2 devices with the same MAC number PLEASE let me know. I would like to understand how that can happen

Sorry I've deleted everything. But in short I had the plugin running only using access points but then bought a USG. In between getting everything set up correctly I moved the APs around between several different cloud controllers and they changed IP address several times so I had to keep updating the plugin. Plus I think I've changed physical AP is AP1, 2, 3 etc on the plugin. Also changed all the static IP address or device. But as you say, no MAC changes obviously.
Maybe I imagined it but sure I saw 2 rows for my phone, one showing inactive for 4 days. The other one as UP.
Anyway, nice opportunity to start from fresh.

Morning, just going through updating the device names to something meaningful and came across this example of duplicated device.

Any ideas on what its done?

Could you show all the states and props for both devices ?
Porps : use menu print...

{edit] this can happen: when indigo times out in creating a device or the device already exists but can not read it --> ie AppleScript is holding indigo
then the plugin does;

Code: Select all

                    try:  # normal creation
                        dev = indigo.device.create(
                            protocol=indigo.kProtocol.Plugin,
                            address=MAC,
                            name=devName + u"_" + MAC,
                            description=ipx + u"-" + nameCl+"=Wifi",
                            pluginId=self.pluginId,
                            deviceTypeId=devType,
                            folder=self.folderNameCreatedID,
                            props={u"useWhatForStatus":u"WiFi", u"useWhatForStatusWiFi":u"Expiration",isType:True})
                    except  Exception, e:
                        if len(unicode(e)) > 5:
                            indigo.server.log(u"in Line '%s' has error='%s'" % (sys.exc_traceback.tb_lineno, e))
                        try: # if device not successfully created try to create it again but with random number added
                            devName += u"_"+( unicode(time.time() - int(time.time())) ).split(".")[1] # create random name
                            indigo.server.log(u"trying again to create device with differnt name "+devName)
                            dev = indigo.device.create(
                                protocol=indigo.kProtocol.Plugin,
                                address=MAC,
                                name=devName + u"_" + MAC,
                                description=ipx + u"-" + nameCl+"=Wifi",
                                pluginId=self.pluginId,
                                deviceTypeId=devType,
                                folder=self.folderNameCreatedID,
                                props={u"useWhatForStatus":u"WiFi", u"useWhatForStatusWiFi":u"Expiration",isType:True})
                        except  Exception, e:
                            if len(unicode(e)) > 5:
                                indigo.server.log(u"in Line '%s' has error='%s'" % (sys.exc_traceback.tb_lineno, e))
                            continue


I have added a 2. try to create the device then the name gets this number in the middle

you can delete one of them then restart the plugin

Karl

Is this the right info?

Hi Karl,
I can confirm I have this issue, see image of 3 devices for my phone.

are you running applescript things? that can trigger this .. AppleScript can hold all of indigo and make queries time out. That error looks like a device does not exist or the plugin has to check for all kinds of exceptions. ... just my guess.

there is only one way to create duplicated devices. indigo does not find the device, then it tries to recreate it and it finds it already exists and it tries to create one with additional numbers.

Karl

No Applescript running. I'll keep an eye on it to see when/if it happens again.
