Sorry should have been more specific. Yes C5 series.

I deleted the app, and made the changes as outlined and i am not getting the devices in smart things to setup now…

I will send a live logging if this helps

You may need to update the SmartApp and Device Handler code too if you haven’t… I’ll send you a PM

I reloaded my RaspberryPi this weekend and installed the Node Proxy app. Has anyone found a way to start the node proxy on the Raspberry Pi on startup? I’ve tried using pm2 and that seemed to work, but it seems to hang when trying to refresh. Something else, I setup each zone and renamed them, MPR:Deck to Deck Audio, for example and added “thing” to their specific room on the the SmartThings app. I did this to be able to use my Amazon Echo to turn the zones on/off. My problem is when I go into the app and reconnect they all get reset back to MPR:Deck. Is there a way to remove the “MPR:” and if I can when I re-connect the app will it create new “Things” every time.

Does this support the RIO protocol used by the C Series controllers? I am looking for a solution that does not require using anything but the SmartThings hub.

247

Couple different options… I just use forever to run it as a background process but that works for me cause the machine never goes down. If you want to make sure it comes back if the RPi reboots, check the following out:

Do you have the latest SmartApp?? It has a toggle button “Discover Zones” which you can turn off after the zones have been installed and configured by you… this will prevent the zones from being deleted/recreated with the “MPR:” label.

248

No RIO… C Series controller support through SmartThings Node Proxy, speaking RNET through RS232.

249

So I was able to get nodeproxy to start on boot, 2 steps:
1 - create a scripts in the home folder of the pi user “/home/pi” by
vi nodep.sh
"#!/bin/sh
cd /nodeproxy
node server.js"
Remove the double quotes…

save the file, then chmod 777 nodep.sh
2- Then modify the /etc/rc.local file, you have to do this as root, add this line before the exit 0:

/home/pi/nodep.sh

save the file.

I manually started the nodeproxy just to make sure it was working, then rebooted the RSPi and it worked.

I tried to run the node server.js in the rc.local file, the issue it could not find the config file.

@redloro I don’t think I do, I thought I grabbed the latest/greatest.

Thanks!

Is this the latest?

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redloro/smartthings/master/smartapps/redloro-smartthings/monoprice-sg6z.src/monoprice-sg6z.groovy

251

It was… realized that while I had added the discovery switch to the Russound SmartApp, I forgot to add it to the Monoprice SmartApp… it’s there now. Update the SmartApp to the latest and you should now be able to reconfigure the SmartApp without recreating your Zones.

252

Thanks for the update! That worked!

Hello Redloro/Ken,

Hey - did you get the npm install to work without error? The old github package had a bunch of dependencies for other plugins… I just updated it so that it’s much cleaner.

So if you haven’t gotten npm install to work right, just download the new package.json from github and do the following:

  1. Download new package.json and place in your stnp folder (replace the old file)
  2. Run: npm run install:mpr-sg6z
  3. When that finishes successfully… run: npm run start

And you should be good.

Redloro - appreciate your response! this worked to get me one step closer! npm install worked good! now getting an error in the run. I suspect that the usbser in my config.json is causing it.

I am using a USB to Serial cable to connect to the MPR6Z from the RasPi3.

259

The value in your config.json for serialPort is incorrect… Refer to the last line of the log you shared… Those are the detected ports and the only ones available to use… You need to change the value in your config.json to one of those.

260

Super That worked! Thanks for pointing it out! Now onto the next step!

Quick question - the groovy indicated at the beginning of this topic is the right one to pick - correct?I think I see the groovy for Smart App int eh link just above - but I do not see a seperate device handler groovy for the MPR6Z. - Should I be using the Russound one?

261

The link above is for the Russound one… You want the Monoprice one which is one folder up… Look at the SmartApps and Device folders and get the Monoprice ones.

262

Ok I tried to use the device types from this link that you provided. All seems to be ok and the app is added and shows under smarpapps.
It also seems to connect to NodeProxy as I can see the activity on the console.

But nothing is appearing in the things screen for the amplifier. Am I missing a step?

This is what I see on the console -
