Intellibrite "sneaks" in to dashPanel

[arrmo]

OK, this will seem odd I know, but ... if I leave dashPanel running for a bit, after some period of time I see Intellibrite (that I don't have) - pic below.

If I refresh, it goes away (again, pic) ... but returns after a period of time it seems. Or am I just nuts? 😆.

PS: sometimes it seems like a refresh makes "Loading" occur again (see the pic above) - just to understand, what does that mean?

Thanks!

Grab the next repo of njsPC and update dashPanel. We have been working on Touch integration in dashPanel.

When it says loading it means that njspc is interrogating your OCP for any changes. Touch interfaces will do this periodically to make sure it is up to date with the anything that may not have been reported or got jumbled up on the RS485 bus.

Grab the next repo of njsPC and update dashPanel. We have been working on Touch integration in dashPanel.

Pulled the latest (next branch for njsPC, master for dashPanel ... right?). Seems to behave the same? I did restart both of them (using PM2).

Thanks!

Please hard refresh your browser that lone palette on the lights header should not exist. I'll bet it is still running the cached files on the client.

[arrmo]

NP! Did a hard browser refresh (Ctrl-F5) ... it shows that item (Intellibrite) at ~ 70% of loading, then goes away. But it comes back.

Thanks!

BTW, thinking out loud, but ... I had a discussion with @tagyoureit before, and while getting influxDB working I had to do the following (to stop IntelliBrite from showing up in influxDB),

diff --git a/web/bindings/influxDB.json b/web/bindings/influxDB.json
index 030e62a..0d56477 100644

       "points": [
         {
           "measurement": "circuits",

So perhaps IntelliBrite is "coming from" njsPC somehow, and you are just displaying it?

[rstrouse]

Yes it is simply picking up its existence. I believe it just gets added no matter what because, If you have a Touch controller it is part of the motherboard so it always exists with no way to disable it. I'll have a look to see whether there is a way to simply remove it in njspc when there are no lights attached to it.

[arrmo]

That makes sense, thanks! I'm not so sure this device even exists in my (~ 17 year old) MB, but I may be wrong 😜.

[rstrouse]

It exists. There are cave drawings in southern Arizona to prove it.

[rstrouse]

By chance do you have any circuits that have a function defined as any of the following:
SAM Light
SAL Light
Photon Gen
Color Wheel
IntelliBrite
MagicStream

Also if you have that palette showing up on the lights header you don't have the most recent software or it is still running on cached files for dashPanel.

[arrmo]

Don't think I have any of those defined ... LOL. Check config.json I assume?

Hmmm ... I do have the palette (you mean the pic below, right?). Odd, CTRL-F5 is supposed force a hard refresh, no? It did force reload (dashPanel ... counting up, then Ready).

Let me try to force again.

@arrmo Hey bud! Can you post a packet capture and I'll step through it. I have an idea why it might be happening but would be useful to see your packets coming through.

[arrmo]

Hi @tagyoureit. Good to hear from you! Hope all is good there, and you are staying safe.

Absolutely, will capture this, NP at all. Any particular flags you want set (or debug levels)?

And thanks @rstrouse, really liking how all the pieces are working together! As @tagyoureit will confirm, I seem to find the very odd things ... LOL!

[rstrouse]

Not really odd just different than my setup. I am running IntelliCenter and there are only a few differences. One of them happens to be IntelliBrite control.

However, I noticed that you have duplicate schedules. Are there really 4 schedules defined at the panel or are we taking the effort to show you 2 schedules twice just in case you missed them the first time.

[arrmo]

Duplicate schedules? Sorry, you lost me there. The two pics are just vs. time, to show the Intellibrite "sneaking in" over time (i.e. it's not there right after refresh).

Or did I miss your point?
