Hello,

I am unable to fetch employee check-in.

ping
python3 erpnext_sync.py - service running…

But nothing is here after refresh

Employee Created
Attendance Device ID (Biometric/RF tag ID) set.
Screenshot of local_config.py

May I know from where we can get the value of device_id and shift_type_name in local_config.py.

These values should be set in ERPNextor Machine.

What I am missing?

Please check the error.log

May I know from where I can get this device id and shift_type_name?

If I have only one machine, so can I remove the second line for machine_2 in devices.

@lyf yes remove the second device , it’s causing ping problems .

lyf · September 15, 2023, 1:58pm

After removing second device…

Getting below error

when doing ping…

Is there any issue related to device name ???

or any setting I am missing in biometric device

bahaou · September 15, 2023, 2:01pm

@lyf are you doing the ping in the same terminal the code is running ?

lyf · September 15, 2023, 2:10pm

No, I am doing PING from Command Prompt, and my ERPNext site is hosted on VPS.

Biometric Device is connected through LAN Cable to my router.

bahaou · September 15, 2023, 2:19pm

@lyf ok the erpnext is hosted . you are doing ping from your local computer . where is the code running ? the erpnext_sync code where is it running ?

lyf · September 16, 2023, 5:46am

erpnext_sync.py is running inside

/frappe-bench/biometric-attendance-sync-tool-1.0

Please check this SS

@lyf the code should be running in your local computer , a computer that is connected to the same network your biometric device is

lyf · September 18, 2023, 9:29am

Okay I Understand.

lewindev · October 5, 2023, 1:13pm

so did it work for you by running the script on the local computer yet erp is on vps

umarless · October 7, 2023, 6:37am

No.

A script needs to be installed on a computer that is on the same LAN network as the biometric device (i.e. Customer’s PC). This script pulls biometric logs and pushes it to ERPNext at regular intervals.

Please take a look at the Note on Biometric Integration in ERPNext

Thanks.

lewindev · October 10, 2023, 7:57am

umarless · October 10, 2023, 8:22am

I used CLI.

lewindev · October 10, 2023, 8:23am

lewindev · October 11, 2023, 12:02pm

umarless · October 12, 2023, 11:25am
