Lutron repeater disconnects

Ok, this is weird. This afternoon, the lights on my main repeater started ping ponging back and forth. The tech at Lutron asked if I was running another piece of software that communicates with the main repeater, because the pinging would indicate that. I tried to explain Indigo to him and he insisted that it must be communicating with the repeater and causing the ping ponging.

What say you? I'm stumped.
Thanks

Re: Lutron keypads

You might have some trigger going that's creating an infinite loop. Turn on debug logging and see if there's a lot of traffic going back and forth.

Re: Lutron keypads

Do you see anything here?
And was he correct in that Indigo is indeed speaking to the main repeater?

Re: Lutron keypads

BTW, after I cured the ping ponging by powering down the repeater for a couple of minutes, I no longer can access it with Indigo..I should have mentioned that before I sent the data.

Yes, that's how automation systems work with an RRa2 system. They communicate with the main repeater, either over the LAN or serial.

Nothing in that log. You need an excerpt from when you see the ping ponging. If it only does it for a few seconds, ignore it. If it does it continuously then it might be an issue.

If you reboot the repeater, you need to restart the plugin.

Re: Lutron keypads

I just power cycled the Mac, and the Lutron Gateway shows as connected.

What kind of commands might I have attempted with Indigo to cause this?

I attempted to change a setting of one of the dimmers through Indigo and it failed, knocking the Reader offline. Here is what shows....

You don't need to restart the Mac. There's a restart command in the menu for every plugin.

Every command to the Lutron system is going to "communicate with the main repeater". Which will cause an LED blink.

Re: Lutron keypads

That should have read repeater, not reader. Sorry

Re: Lutron keypads

I don't know what to tell you. This used to work, right? So what did you actually change?

Re: Lutron keypads

Not sure. I was just playing with Indigo to see what I could accomplish. Maybe I did something but I have no idea what.

Re: Lutron keypads

Well, restart the plugin and make sure there's no errors in the log from that.

Re: Lutron keypads

I did restart the plugin with no luck. Rebooting the Mac fixed it then.
However, I can no longer get the gateway to be seen. I have rebooted the gateway, rebooted the Mac, and restarted the plugin to no avail.

This is the latest message..

Re: Lutron keypads

I just rebooted the Mac and Indigo, and for a few seconds the gateway was connected. But just a couple of seconds later it became disconnected with this message..

Re: Lutron keypads

Check to make sure you don't have multiple gateway devices.
