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?

Using the solaredge integration
Hi, I saw this topic: Solar Edge - Smart Home Building Automation Software - ComfortClick bOS
But i'm unable to get it working/connecting. Is there some feedback or manual available to further troubleshoot this?
It doesn't seem to work via API calls.
Thanks in advance.

Advise on a possible compatible USB<>UART adapter
Hello everyone,
Hope that everyone's safe.
I'm looking forward to test a certain device, that's supposed to be connected to a RPI under the UART interface (+5v GND RX TX).
As I'm not even risking voiding the warranty of the Jigsaw, I was looking for any kind of USB adapter that would allow me to connect the UART interface of the device, to a USB on the Jigsaw, and therefore try to use the "Basic" device to see if something happens, and try to do the integration.
Most of the adapters I see on the internet refer drivers, etc. I was looking for something more straightforward, as I just want to connect via USB to the Jigsaw.
Any advise? Anyone ever used this kind of adapter on the Jigsaw / Grinder / Whatever?
Best regards

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.

Alexa Communication Problem
Hello, I have all my KNX devices at home connected via BOS to Alexa - about 92 devices. All worked well, until suddenly Alexa stopped responding to all devices. i.e. - When I ask Alexa to 'turn on' a device, it says that the device is not responding.
To clarify, BOS works well from the app and also Alexa works well with other devices not connected via BOS.
Any help please?
