Indigo Domotics

Hmmm, it does appear the 1-wire hardware is working ok. I re-connected my 1-wire bus and tested with Indigo 7 and it appears to work ok. To be honest I'm not sure what's going on. It seems the digitemp binary which the plugin uses to query the 1-wire bus isn't working reliably on your new setup for some reason. I didn't write the digitemp binary, it's a utility the plugin uses to do the dirty work. You could try running digitemp directly to take Indigo and the plugin out of the loop for testing purposes.

1. Disable the plugin in Indigo.
2. Open a terminal
3. Change to the plugin's folder ...

Code: Select all

cd "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7/Plugins (Disabled)/DigiTemp.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin/"

4. Tell Digitemp to walk the 1-wire bus ....

Code: Select all

./digitemp_i386 -s /dev/tty.usbserial-A501HY6D -w

You should see a list of all the sensors on the bus. Try it a bunch of times and see if the output is consistent.

I may have jumped the gun there. I added a few more sensors and noticed the same thing as you. Sometimes I'd read 8 sensors, sometimes 2. I downloaded the latest digitemp binary, compiled it, and added it into the plugin. It seems to be more reliable.

When you scan for sensors, make sure it's not in the middle of polling. You might have to set the poll interval up high at 15 minutes so it won't poll while you're scanning.

Try this one. Please let me know if it's any better.

Hi

Well i installed the modified plugin which brought me up to v1.0.4 I think it got worse. Still is random of what i get when i scan for sensors, as you see in the errors. the first 10 lines was repeated 4 or 5 times over in the log. It seemed to have a hard time finding the adaptor. As before what ever sensor wasn't found wont show up on Indigo. But when i did get all 6 sensor in the scan in this case the upper garage temp didnt show up on Indigo even though it was found in the scan, after a few tries the config screen shot looked normal. What i will can try next is what your previous sugestion was and try running DigiTemp directly and by pass Indigo and the plugin and see what that turns out.

Hmmm. That's too bad. Unfortunately there's nothing more I can do from the plugin side. The digitemp binary or USB serial adapter is not working reliably on that system for some reason. I just checked my logs and I haven't had one bad read over almost 24 hours with 1.0.4 reading 8 sensors.

It looks like you're using an FTDI adapter, same as me.

I'm out of ideas. Sorry.

Hi
Well i was playing around with DigiTemp and tried what you suggested by taking out the plugin & Indigo and read the bus
and the results were all over the place like 2,6,0,1,6,0,2 then tried plugging the adaptor in different USB ports. next ill try
the old mac to see how that looks. then maybe do a time capsule backup and upgrade to Sierra to see what that does.
I'd thought i would let you know what i found. I guess its safe to say that Indigo and the plugin is ok. I'll just plug away at it
and at some point ill get it to work or at least find out what caused the errors.

Thanks again for your help

Bret

Ok, sounds good. Let me know if you make any breakthroughs.

Hi Travis, also updated to v7..

I'm having similar problems. I got a sensor to be recognized by unplugging it, but it quickly lost it.

Turned on debug. I got;

Code: Select all

   Stopped plugin "DigiTemp 1.0.3"
   Starting plugin "DigiTemp 1.0.3" (pid 3693)
   Started plugin "DigiTemp 1.0.3"

   DigiTemp Debug                  Error reading digitemp.conf file.
   DigiTemp Debug                  STATE: Test
   DigiTemp Debug                  STATE: Test

And then on a scan, also;

Code: Select all

   DigiTemp                        Starting scan for 1-wire sensors.
   DigiTemp Debug                  STATE: Process Poll
   DigiTemp Debug                  STATE: Process Poll
   DigiTemp Debug                  STATE: Process Poll
   DigiTemp Debug                  DigiTemp Output:

   DigiTemp Debug                  Read Sensor List Start
   DigiTemp Debug                  OUTPUT:
   DigiTemp Debug                  Error reading digitemp.conf file.
   DigiTemp                        Scan complete, found 0 sensors.

So, it can't read digitemp.conf.. hmm - I can't find such a beast either.

Forgot to mention I'm on El Capitan though.

Try running 1.0.4 from the DropBox link above. If that doesn't sort it out you can try running digitemp manually. You might be in the same boat.

If it can't find any sensors during a scan there won't be any config find. You have to successfully scan your sensors in the config for that file to exist.

Hi Travis

Well i just did an upgrade to Sierra tonight to see if that would help, But I'm still having the same issues as before with Yosemite.
i also tried using a powered USB hub in case the built in USB ports were limiting the current to power all the sensors , So as of now it
only works for me with Lion on older mini mac and not with Yosemite & Sierra on newer mini mac. I did a time capsule backup of Yosemite
before the upgrade in case i had more issues which i didn't so ill leave it at Sierra. Its starting to look like I'm having a hardware issue in the
newer mini mac reliably with the 1-wire USB dongle? just guessing . well I'm still plugging away at it.

Bret

Strange. Mine still seems to be stable on 10.9 using the 1.0.4 version of the plugin. My logs aren't showing a single read error on 8 sensors spread all around the house.

Would it be possible to reupload v1.0.4 please? (the dropbox link above is dead) I've just set this 1wire system up, and am also getting random results in terms of the number of sensors being detected. Many thanks!

This should work:
