Controling Sonos is unreliable and limited
Hi, I have been trying to get reliable control of sonos from bos for a while. Volume and play / pause / stop / skip etc. seem to consistently work well. However - selecting playlists sometimes works sometimes does not - and I cant figure out any pattern. Often I call PlayPlaylist(playlistName) and it just clears whats in the current queue - I call exactly the same command again and it loads the playlist and plays. Also finding that I can put a radio station in favourites - I can call it via the pre-built bOS control .. but not via PlayFavourite(favouriteName). .. I have not successfully called any radio stations via URI either.. The fact that the simple controls like volume and play work so reliably suggests no connectivity issues etc. short of installing wireshark on the grinder is there any way to see a log from bOS server to see whats happening between it and sonos and which side is messing up? Finally.. in the inbuilt bOS sonos control you can list the playlists & favourites .. how can I access these from a value to work with them programatically?

Server 4.8.5 changes default colours from 4.5
Hi,
I had installed server version 4.5, after upgrading to 4.8.5 all the icons have been changed the colour I had in previous version, there´s definitively something the new version 4.8 has changed that has fallen through the cracks of testing.
See below
Previously in version 4.5 (below are just objects that refer to an scene)
Version 4.8 destroys the configuration and every single object pointing to a scene becomes hidden -this is because the icon text shows up with no value
This now yields to changing more than 50 places where such objects linking to scenes are present, surely this must have been picked up in QA testing......it happened as well with translations, where the logic was broken between previous versions, so definitively an issue with QA testing and testing cycles.
Any thoughts whether a fix will be available?

http device connection error
My HTTP devices to publish notifications of the values changes in KNX stop working with reason "Error connecting to device":
Debug : 31.01.2021 15:37:50 : Devices\Homebridge : Exception : Exception : [ErrorConnecting]
Debug : 31.01.2021 15:37:42 : Devices\Homebridge : Exception : Exception : [DeviceConnected]
Debug : 31.01.2021 15:37:40 : Devices\Homebridge : Exception : Exception : [DeviceDisabled]
I was trying creating the new device and moving commands but did not help. The logs aren't very verbose about the reason of failure. Im running Jigsaw. The server the HTTP is connecting to is running fine, i.e. curl queries are working ok. Is there any way to find out the root cause of it? Some more verbose logs maybe?

SMA SunnyBoy returns -1
I've just connected my SMA Inverter (SB3.0-1AV-41) using the ModBus protocol. Connection was made successfully, but all I retrieve from fetching values is -1 or synonyms (65535 for uint16, 4294967295 for uint32,...).
I have some ModBus information on this specific inverter ( modbuslist_en.html), and I've tried to crosscheck this with the (slightly outdated) SMA-Modbus example on the Library, but no dice... I cannot read out values from my Inverter and start building my Solar dashboard...
I'm using the bèta of bOS 4.8.0 and these are my settings for getting the value of Phase A, address 199 in the SMA datasheet, so I use 198 in bOS;
Advise or tips?

3671 port doesn't work
Hello, does anyone know why the 3671 port doesn't work anymore on Bos controller even if there is a port forwarding? I need this for remote programming my KNX installation. It was working good so far since know. Also when the Bos configurator inform me that i need to update my controller when the window prompt me to, there is no update available.
Thanks in advance.

Problem accessing bOS Configurator
Is there any way to reset configurator data and restart with a clean configuration?
Im starting with a free licence, to try this system but somehow got an error saying that there were too many users (>1).
Now I can't access Configurator even by re-installing software!

configuration file format
I found configuration files (import/export of bOS tree) are kind of binary format. Is there any way to manage them outside of the bOS Config application? Especially the HTTP device which I'm interested in. I would like to generate automatically the configuration of the HTTP device and import it straight into bOS Config.
