Clean re-install of uniFi-WiFi-AP can't be configured

I had some issues leading to that I uninstalled the plugin by stopping the server, deleting the plugin file and preferences file and folder, and then started Indigo and installed a new instance of the plugin. Now I can't get even basic configuration done. The plugin starts fine, but I can't do any configuration.

Starting plugin "uniFiAP 2022.42.389" (pid 1587)

Trying to configure anything leads to this (and no configuration gets saved):

Configuration GUI

Log
uniFiAP Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 1325, in validatePrefsConfigUi
self.cameraEventWidth = int(valuesDict["cameraEventWidth"])
KeyError: 'key cameraEventWidth not found in dict'

Any suggestions?

I am out of town until Nov 30

That looks like a bug. I removed code for the old old UniFi camera system. (1500 lines). I might have missed something while deleting code.

Or as a temp fix
you could add a text field in pluginconfig.xml
cameraEventWidth
Fill it with a 1

Or delete line 1325 in plugin.py

Hi,

After deleting line 1325 I get this error instead:

uniFiAP Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 1327, in validatePrefsConfigUi
self.imageSourceForEvent = valuesDict["imageSourceForEvent"]
KeyError: 'key imageSourceForEvent not found in dict'

I can wait until you are back

Or if I can install the version before those lines were removed?

please delete these 3 lines starting at 1325:

self.cameraEventWidth = int(valuesDict["cameraEventWidth"])

self.imageSourceForEvent = valuesDict["imageSourceForEvent"]

self.imageSourceForSnapShot = valuesDict["imageSourceForSnapShot"]


or yes you could go back some releases .

Karl

I commented out those three and now I can configure the plugin, thanks!

However the plugin seems to reboot like every minute with this written to log:

No worries, I'll wait.

please check the new version .394

it has some checks added if config is not fully configured.

please delete first
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2023.1/Preferences/Plugins/com.karlwachs.uniFiAP.indiPref
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2023.1/Preferences/Plugins/com.karlwachs.uniFiAP

then load the new version. it automatically goes into config, please setup :
- web user id and pwd
- unix (ssh) userid and password
- ip # of unifi controller and type and port number (anything new should be 433) and do not check port #
- select f you want to use controller info for reports only or also to check for new devices. if new devs is selected any new UNIFI system device will be automatically added.

Karl

Thank you Karl, it looks good now!

I am trying to control PoE for some switch ports but nothing happens when I am using the plugin to do this (Unifi web GUI works fine). Is there anything I must configure in the plugin before this works? I tried with two switch models so far; US 8 150W and USW Lite 16 PoE.

Thanks!

Sorry, just read this. Will check when I am back home on Thursday.
