Ikea plug sensor not showing connections in Phoscan

[pcgirl65]

This is weird. I just noticed that one of my Ikea plugs that I use for a repeater isn't connected to any other devices in Phoscan. It seems to be still in Conbee bridge in Jowihue but for some reason it isn't repeating or connecting to anything. Seems to have happened after a power outage. Is there something that I need to do to get this working again.

Which version of deCONZ are you running here?

If you select the on/off plug device in deCONZ, you can press "r" on it. This will reset the device in deCONZ and activate a new connection check internally. You will see the dots blink a bit and after 10 seconds or so you might see the lines getting connected again.
This does not necessarily point to a problem, especially if you still can control the plug?

I am running version 2.12.1 deCONZ. I tried r but that didn't do anything so I clicked on Edit and Reset Node. It seemed to blink red and yellow but didn't connect to anything. So then I clicked Reboot device thinking that it would reboot this one device. Everything disappeared for a couple of seconds and I got nervous. But then it reappeared and low and behold it started to connect to other devices. Thanks for the help!

Great it resolved!. One thing here still though. deCONZ is undergoing large changes lately. You are using 2.12.1 which is a beta version. It might be better to the stable version 2.12.6 which will have some issues resolved.

For now, make sure to stay away of the current beta's 2.13.xxxxx this one will be a really large change, so use it only when it is the stable version.

Can I update without loosing anything?

Yes,you can. Is this your first upgrade of deCONZ?

When you want to check for the latest stable version, go to https://github.com/dresden-elektroni...z-rest-plugin/.
On this page, in the right part, middle you will find the information of the latest stable release, you can click on it for more information (see image). There is no easier way yet still, there is no easy check on the latest stable version I think.



Inside the link you will see the version number (in this case 2.12.06)

With this number go to the download link http://deconz.dresden-elektronik.de/win/ which will give you a long list of versions. You select the version deCONZ_Setup_Win32_V2_12_06.exe. Download this file and stop deconz (no need to stop the plugin). Assuming you have installed deCONZ the first time using the defaults, n install the new version over the existing one and start deCONZ again. All should work like normal again.

Thanks! Yes, I haven't updated deCONZ yet. I have done the update now and it is rebuilding its' connections. I did notice before I shut it down that the same node didn't have any connections again. I will check it again once it rebuilds everything and report back.
