Brandmiester API Keys not working in Pi-Star Admin

Post by KB1ILJ »

The instructions on line are very straight forward, but I am not getting the BM Controls on my Admin screen after loading the API keys.
I've tried a couple of times.
I go logon to BM, go to profile, get the key, copy it. Go to Pi-Star, Configuration, Expert, BM API, paste in the key, click the apply changes button, the keys disappear from the screen, I go back to Admin and there is nothing new on the screen.
I have the latest version of Pi-Star
Pi-Star:4.1.4 / Dashboard: 20210312
I did an update before I created the keys on BM and loaded them on Pi-Star.
I have also rebooted and Pi-Star and still no change.

Any ideas where I might be messing this up somewhere along the line would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I found out I needed to add my Hotspot Security Password on the BrandMeister Site to get my MMDVM to work.

"https://brandmeister.network/?page=selfcare" is the page to go to to add that option on the BrandMeister page.

I generated a new v2 key and pi-star now works showing BM info and allowing control. (read pinned post at the top of this DMR related forum)
