Unknown devices types 105, 115, 77

[rbdubz3]

A large number of errors/warnings in my Indigo Domotics setup which uses python lightify version 1.0.7.1.. Below is the dump of indigo plugin log along with Warnings from the lightify plugin (reference messages 'LightifyDirect Warning'

Error Block 1

NOTE - no new devices were actually added to my system so I suspect this is something different. There were a large number of recurring errors prior to the above Warnings about missing device types.. The errors were as seen below - potentially some type of memory corruption in my system with python? From what I can tell, the python utf8 errors in 'Error Block 2' persisted throughout the night repeatedly while the ones listed above for the missing device types in 'Error Block 1' occurred just once this morning - triggered via motion sensor as I entered a room.

Error Block 2

Anyhow, thought I'd pass along in case it is of any value

@rbdubz3 Could you please take this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OleksandrBerchenko/python-lightify/for_rbdubz3/lightify/__init__.py (I have added additional debug messages on warning level) and try to reproduce again?

It looks like we got from Lightify Gateway a response of unexpected length and structure.

Thanks!

[rbdubz3]

@OleksandrBerchenko - will give it a shot and let you know.. BTW I haven't seen this before so may be difficult to recreate

[OleksandrBerchenko]

@rbdubz3 Did you have a chance to reproduce that issue again?

Thanks!

[rbdubz3]

@OleksandrBerchenko - I honestly have no idea how to reproduce it and what started it in the first place. As I mentioned above, I suspect something was going on with python on my system as I saw the utf-8 errors prior to the errors from the Lightify library.

Maybe we just close this Issue and I can re-open if I see it in the future

[OleksandrBerchenko]

@rbdubz3 I think you have received a wrong packet from the gateway. Existing log is not enough to understand what exactly happened.

You may close the issue, but please continue to use my customized code - hopefully next time I will get enough data to debug.

Possibly we need slightly better error handling anyway - I will think about that.

Thanks!

[rbdubz3]

closing this as I cannot reproduce it

[OleksandrBerchenko]

@rbdubz3 You can update the library from the custom to the latest version.

Thanks!

[rbdubz3]

sounds good - thanks @OleksandrBerchenko .. BTW - are you guys planning a new release anytime soon?

[OleksandrBerchenko]

@rbdubz3 I have no plans yet. So just use the latest 1.0.7.2. Thanks!
