What event or message should I listen for when the Mini v2 is waiting for manager's PIN?

Windows Remote Pay SDK 4.0.5
.NET Framework 4.8
Semi-integrated
Clover Mini v2

Is there an event fired or an activity response for when the device is waiting for a manager's PIN? I've logged every event specified in the ICloverConnectorListener interface from PIN entry, to pairing, to sale request completion, but haven't seen anything related to PIN entry.

TIA

There is no event for that, you haven't successfully connected to the device yet.

Hiya David. Thanks for your reply; it makes sense.

A just came across this response in the log:

{
    "Action": "com.clover.remote-terminal.remotecontrol.action.V1_EMPLOYEE_PERMISSION_REQUEST",
    "Payload": null,
    "Success": true,
    "Result": 0,
    "Reason": null,
    "Message": null
}

I find no reference to "V1_EMPLOYEE_PERMISSION_REQUEST" in the SDK source and google yields no results.

I take it that response isn't from a PIN request, no?

Yeah I don't think we expose that. Is there a reason you are focusing on this? Pairing should really only be a one time event.

I'm not really focused on this; it was more of a curiosity. The connector is initialised as startup with listeners added/removed where necessary. A pop-up is displayed when a pairing code is received. I was just wondering if there was an easy, straight-forward way to say, "hey, stupid, enter a manager's PIN".

In any event, I'll make something work.

Thanks again, David, for your replies. Have a great day!

You could display a message in your POS when onDeviceConnected fires, that means that a connection has been established but that the device is not ready to process requests yet, one reason why it may not be ready is because the device is waiting for pin entry.

Thank you for the reply. and suggestion.

I'm just thinking at user login if the payment controller is enabled and the clover connector isn't connected, display a pop-up asking to pair.

But as some point, I grow rather tired of trying to idiot-proof things for lazy end users.
