Harmony hub control
Hi,
For now I control my harmony hub via comfortclick with a workaround.
I do a http command to a raspberry pi running a http server with node.js and it calls harmonyHubControl which can access the harmony hub using activtiy and command ids.
This is great because you can teach the hub new IR commands.
So I can not only start activities but also control IR relais and sockets (cheap stuff).
I just read that harmony has released (don't know when) and API for the hub. Any plans to integrate this as a device in comfortclick?

This would make things much easier and I add a lot of value to your product.

bos configuration gone after windows update
Today after windows 11 update, bos server started with blank/new configration. All default passwords and no license data. Thanks to tip from Jürgen here I checked for configuration data in windows folders. I found that after update windows renamed original folder to windows.old thus all configration data stayed there.
I stopped the services and copied bos data fro old folder back to current and all started working but for a moment i was worried :)
so this is something to work on for ComfortClick team or validate if windows folder is a good place to hold configuration data

bOS Configurator and bOS Client do not open
Hello! bOS configurator and bOS client do not start in my Windows 11 laptop after an update. First I updated my office server (CC Jigsaw), then the bos configurator got updated.
After this I tried to start the bOS Configurator and a pop-up error message displayed about the update of ".NET-desktop runtime 6.0.0".
When I clicked the OK button on the error message the web browser opened so i can download the last update (6.0.35). After the installation the same error message kept appearing so I downloaded manually the 6.0.0 version.
Finally, there wasn't any error message but both softwares do not start. I double-clicked on the shortcuts and right-clicked>open but the only thing that happened was for the "busy" cursor to appear for a couple of seconds. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Hikvision face terminal conectivity
Hello! I have been trying for a few days to connect a hikvision facial recognition terminal (ds-k1t341am) to comfort click using http. I would like to take over from this moment when he gives the command to unlock the door. for any command I used, it tells me that it is an unauthorized or invalid code as well as the status code. Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this problem? In Postman I tried to retrieve certain data, the only thing I managed to retrieve (using /ISAPI/System/deviceInfo) was the device data, but if I use this command in comfort click, it tells me that it is unauthorized. Thank you!

Help to identify the correct token
Hello Guys,
I'm getting a new device API setup, but I'm facing an issue with a token and need help to identify my mistake.
I have the following command response data: [{"accountId":"aa1111bb-cc2d-3333-e44f-55g666h7i888","genesis":true}]
I'm looking to get the account Id value, which, according to multiple JSON path finder should be under the token : [0].accountId
However, the value remains desperately empty :
Any idea about the possible issue ?
I've already tried with [].accountId and accountId, but same result
Thanks in advance for any tip

For some unknown reason, the Modbus protocol causes Values\Connected\Value: True to change to False.
Hi Support team,
I have a project that uses many Modbus Devices (Reference #1)
My protocol settings
Driver\Enable: True
Error Handling: Reconnect
Will work normally initially
Values\Connected: Trues (Reference #2)
After a period of operation
For some unknown reason, the Modbus protocol causes Values\Connected\Value: True to change to False.
Causes Modbus Device to fail to operate
Check that the physical network device and Modbus device are not faulty
The important finding is that bOS also has no error messages
I think because there is no fault abnormal signal in bOS, the parameter setting of Reconnect has no effect.
Disposal method:
Log in to bOS Configurator
Manually
set Driver\Enable: True
change into
Driver\Enable: False
Cultivation again
Driver\Enable: True
Such operation can restore normal function operation
But when something goes wrong, the customer's on-site environment shuts down immediately.
Exclusion actions require our assistance in running the program
Need help
what is the solution
It allows me to use a program to detect Driver\Enable: True
and driver\enabled: False
Automatically re-execute
Driver\Enable: True->False->True
This problem has happened many times
And every time it happens, not all Modbus devices will have the same situation happen simultaneously.
We cannot monitor the running status of the client bOS system all the time
Whenever the customer's equipment shuts down abnormally, the customer will notify us to handle it.
Several incidents gradually raised questions among customers about the stability of our systems.
Therefore requesting assistance in providing a solution Thanks
Looking forward your reply
Best regards

Json parsing error - Missing token (Shelly Plus Plug S / MQTT)
Hello,
I sucessfully integrated a Shelly Plus Plug S via MQTT.
MQTT messages that contain "switch" updates (when it's turned on/off) are successfully interpreted. I catch them with Token Name : params.switch:0.output (see screenshot below).
Meanwhile, the Shelly device is also sending other MQTT messages with energy consumption information. When doing so, the parameter "output" is not present in the JSON file, resulting in a Exception error : Error parsing received data. Value cannot be null.Parameter name: value
Any advise how to prevent these errors ?
Thank you.
---
JSON message when "output" changes. This gets successfully parsed. Example of a switch off message :
{"src":"shellyplusplugs-e465b85ccccc","dst":"shellyplusplugs-e465b85ccccc/events","method":"NotifyStatus","params":{"ts":1701336805.47,"switch:0":{"id":0,"apower":0,"current":0,"output":false,"source":"WS_in","voltage":0}}}
Periodically JSON message to notify energy updates. These don't get successfully parsed (as it is missing the 'output' parameter. Example :
{"src":"shellyplusplugs-e465b85ccccc","dst":"shellyplusplugs-mytext/events","method":"NotifyStatus","params":{"ts":1701352440.40,"switch:0":{"id":0,"aenergy":{"by_minute":[5.012,8.202,0.000],"minute_ts":1701352439,"total":4.922}}}}
