Errors on Installation

I just installed the plugin (1.0.5), and it is not creating any devices (I tried changing folder names, picking an already-created folder, or even no folder), and just reporting the error below. No devices are being created, but it seems to be authenticating (since it reports total energy usage). Any ideas?

Code: Select all

Hi.

Does this fix itself when you start (restart) the plugin?

The 'core' device is created automatically and it's obviously there because you say you're seeing the active total.

In theory next time you start that device (which will happen at plugin startup) it will fix that particular error.

I've restarted the plugin several times and it is not fixing it. It never creates the device, which looks to be the issue...

Looking at the code (below) it looks like it pulls and logs the active power and daily usage before it tries to put them into the core device. The problem I'm seeing is that there is no core device being created. I see that saving out of the config dialogue should create the core device, but for some reason that isn't happening...

Code: Select all

   def getDevices(self):
      #self.debugLog(u"Getting realtime()")
      try:
         self.sense.update_realtime()
         for i in self.sense._realtime['devices']:
            rtid = i['id']
            self.rt[rtid] = int(i['w'])
      except SenseAPITimeoutException as e:
         self.errorLog(e)
      self.sense.update_trend_data()
      active = self.sense.active_power
      daily = self.sense.daily_usage
      self.debugLog("Active: {}w".format(active))
      self.debugLog("Daily: {}kw".format(daily))
      indigo.devices[self.devFromSid['core']].updateStateOnServer(key='power', value=str(int(active)), uiValue=str("{} w".format(int(active))))
      indigo.devices[self.devFromSid['core']].updateStateImageOnServer(indigo.kStateImageSel.PowerOn)


Ok, I solved it. Was an error where it was trying to convert the string, folderID (from the config dialogue) to an int. This happens on two lines of the code (lines 69 and 175).

Changing the code to

Code: Select all

dev = indigo.device.create(indigo.kProtocol.Plugin,"Active Total","Active Total",deviceTypeId="sensedevice",folder=str(self.folderID))


vs the old code:

Code: Select all

dev = indigo.device.create(indigo.kProtocol.Plugin,"Active Total","Active Total",deviceTypeId="sensedevice",folder=int(self.folderID))


That fixed the problem for me.

I believe the configuration UI where it asks you for the folder is wanting the folder ID (right-click on folder to get context menu to copy its ID) and not the folder name. The create() API will take either: if it is an integer it assumes it is the folder ID, if it is a string then it assumes it is the folder name.

But then it would only work with an existing folder? When I changed it to str, it created a new device group, which is probably the behavior most end users would expect?

Device group or folder? Normally when we refer to device groups we are talking about devices all grouped together (each device showing as a tab in the device's settings dialog), which is different than what folder the device lives in. The argument in the API (and the option shown in the configuration UI) is for the latter; which is just the folder the device(s) will live in.

I’m just using terms loosely. I meant folder.

I could be mistaken, but I don't believe the device create() API will create a new folder if it doesn't exist.

I thought it had, but maybe I mis-remembered.... I suspect you'd know better than me!

Correct - the setup instructions do state this, but I accept that the UI in the config dialog box doesn't, and will get that updated.

It's always best to go with IDs as you might rename the folder in the future which would break the plugin.

(I was confused when I read your earlier message and proposed fix, becase I know those lines WERE causing errors at one stage but I fixed them - Matt's post explains it!)

That's what I get for not RTFM

1.0.6 uploaded to Plugin Store to clarify and validate the FolderID requirement.

Working for me - I changed to the ID in the configuration dialogue box..

Good Morning!
I just got a Black Friday deal on Sense.... Giving it a try with this plugin as well, however I received the following error:
