Adapters Plugin [archive]

[DaveL17]

Not sure what's causing the error, but it's working fine for me. Do your settings resemble these?

Dave, Thanks for the support. I put the parameters you recommended into the adapter. I assume the symbol for degree is option shift 8 on a Mac keyboard.

Dave,
So if these parameters work correctly on your system there must be something wrong with my Indigo setup.

Hi Again Dave,

So restarting IndigoServer eliminated the errors buy the Adapter plugin now shows 0 degrees even those I'm asking it to subtract 6.8 degrees from the physical device's reported 78.2 degrees.

Could the ° symbol I used is not recognized as a valid unit?

Thx

Mike

I'm digging in the code.

The error isn't anything you're doing - there appears to be a bug in the code, because "formula" (key formula not found in dict) is not supposed to be in the dict, so it shouldn't be trying to reference it.

I also get 0, and if you stop/start the device you get the error back again...

Dave, is it working for you?

[mgolden50]

Thanks guys!!!

Ok, he's got an easily fixable bug.

Download the attached Devices.xml and save it into

\Library\Application Support\Perceptive Automation\Indigo 7.3\Plugins\Adapters.indigoPlugin\Contents\Server Plugin\

(If you're not familiar with plugins, you'll need to right-click Adapters.indigoPlugin and "Show package contents")

Then restart the plugin, delete your adapter device, and recreate it.

Matt/Jay, i'm intending publishing a new Nissan Leaf plugin (also Dusty's).

Dusty has touched his github account twice in the last 18 months, so obviously isn't active anywhere at present.

Can I takeover his plugin(s) - Nissan Leaf and Adapters certainly, to post up this fixed version? Not sure if he has others?

(Just looked; the only other plugin is Ecobee - anyone else want to take on that one?)

That’s great; I only searched his posts on here, I didn’t actually read them so it might have said that in a reply sonewhere.

It's working for me without errors, but I can't guarantee that I'm on the latest version of the plugin. It look like the degree symbol is being used in a standard python string format conversion, so it really shouldn't be related to the error. Regardless, it sounds like Peter may be willing to fork the plugin and fix the error for good.

@howartp - I've sent @DustySparkle an email to enquire. I'll let you know when I get a reply. If he's no longer maintaining them, then we'll figure out the best course for getting those moved to the right spots so you can take over maintenance. Thanks for the offer!

Any news Jay?

No. If I don't hear by Monday, we'll consider what to do next. The issue is that he used the Apache 2.0 license (rather than a less restrictive license like MIT or Unlicense). That license carries some requirements that are somewhat burdensome, namely section 4b:

You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files

That's a pain to enforce when multiple people are working on the same source. Since we would be distributing the plugin via the store, we would (theoretically) be liable for a variety of things: 1) the License file wouldn't be included in the plugin bundle so it would have the effect of being distributed without the license and 2) if you (or anyone contributing to it) forgot to attribute their changes clearly in the source, then we would be liable for that as well (again because we're distributing it).

This is why the MIT license is SO MUCH BETTER for our purposes and we highly recommend that people use that instead.

Leaf won’t be a problem as I’m rewriting that with a different base library; I never liked his implementation anyway!
