Hidden worker pioreactor

Hi everyone,

I have a worker pioreactor that is added to my local access point cluster.

  • When I press the “blue light button” I get informed in the user interface that I am holding the worker button down
  • When I power-cycle (unplug and replug) the worker, I get an overview log that the worker is online and ready.

However, the worker is not available in the inventory.

  • When I ran the command pio workers status on the leader the worker does not appear among the available workers
  • When I try SSH to the worker, it cannot be found in the cluster

Did anyone experienced a similar problem or have a suggestion that could solve the issue?

Odd, can you try re-adding it? Try from the leader:

pio workers add <worker name>

It sounds like it didn’t successfully add itself to the database when first added…

Did not find the worker on the network.

I had similar issue when I tried to change the cluster of an other worker by using the command:

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect <wifi-ssid-of-new-leader> password "<network-password-of-new-leader>" && sudo nmcli connection modify <wifi-ssid-of-new-leader> connection.autoconnect-priority 100 

However, in that case, the worker was recognized by the watchdog after some time. I do not know if this is also the case with the current worker pioreactor, as I was away when this happened, but if this is the case, could it be still possible to reach the worker?
