TESTING RELEASE

[bkenobi]

FYI, the last couple updates (491, 492) have required restoring settings from a backup file.  I have not had that issue with an update in quite some time.  I'm not sure from the update items why this would be an issue.

[kevin1]

So is it safe to use a recent build, or what is the most stable recent version to use?  I am way out of date now, 476.

[bkenobi]

You would have to check the build logs to see what's changed (a lot).  I have no significant issues with the current release (492) other than I had to restore a backup configuration.

Hi Gene,

after the recent upgrade

- wheather underground does not update anymore, notify window tells me "string does not contain a definition for moon phase"
- dimmer has the new slider, but light, too (X10 modules) is that desired? I would suggest that the light switch has no slider


Thanks
Cheers

Did you try restarting Wunderground? Is the city name correct?
The light should not have the dimmer level knob (now it's fixed).
Thanks for quick reporting

Cheers,

Once over sudden wunderground started to work, cityname is set to autoip
I have no clue why, as I tried restarts before

One other thing I noted, adding a module to a group, in this case a x10 module
crashes the browser, safari on ipad. I have not tried a PC yet, but adding a module recently worked on the iPad, too.

Hi,

I noticed interesting feature after updating to r493. For some reason Chrome on my PC is showing temperatures in Fahrenheit not in Celsius as it should. IE is showing temperature in Celsius. On Raspi temperature unit is Celsius when using Chromium.
Any hints how this could be fixed? Could it be something in Chrome settings??

BR,
Pasi

Since updating from 471(?) to 491, my HG has been getting into some weird states.  I would say I have seen three separate behaviors:
1-everything okay
2-'undefined module' shows on all clients browsers (PC running HG, ipad chrome, android phone chrome) - see attachment
3-'undefined module' shows only on the mobile devices while PC running HG is okay.

Tried stopping/starting service via windows tray icon.  Tried service restarting HG.  Tried rebooting PC.  This happened oen other time in the past week, I think I had to restore backup to get working.

Seems to be receiving data from my at least one of my arduinos.  The programs all have yellow lights.  One program for my garage arduino has red light in list of programs.  When I try to edit one of my programs, all I get is: 'loading program data' (even for programs that seem to be running according to the event log - see attachment)

Very frustrating that HG is so unreliable from mobile devices for me :-(

Hi kevin1,

there have been some changes in the API, so try compiling programs again. If it doesn't work, I think it's best to install latest hg package and then restore your config backup.

On android and ios chrome browser the HG login prompt pops up for me repeatedly.  This is very annoying and makes it hard to even close the HG tab frequently.  It pops up as I try to type or cancel into the first popup.  I have posted about this in other threads but have not gotten a solution.  Tried adding the user/password to the URL, this helps a bit on android, but the problem still pops up after going away from the browser and returning. 

I access HG through my router so a long password is a must for security but difficult in this situation.

Can you make an option to use a webpage form (like most websites) for the password instead of popup?  Also, would it be good to allow us to change username from admin to something more secure?

Hi Gene,

I am trying to use X 10 Shutters (they usually need extended X10 commands) with the timetable and came across the following. The timetable "dimmer and shutters" is linked to the shutter module, the shutter module does not support percentage values for X10 modules (or I am doing something completely wrong with calibrate). The only chance I have is using X10 on and off commands to close the shutter or open it completely. Now, the timetable does not have an "On" selection. Would you mind enhancing the selection by the following (Off, On, 10%, 20%....) ?

Many thanks
Regards

I have an issue that has been following me around since the first time I started to use HomeGenie, maybe it's my setup since I never read about this issue on the forum?

In the statistics the program crashes when loading the "Data analysis" tab. The page loads but the loading icon just keeps on spinning and the datetime pickers are blank. When clicking the datepicker I get an error msg in the console (the same error msg occurs upon loading, see picture).
When debugging I can see that the lang property is undefined, maybe there is a workaround?
I am guessing this is related to my locale (Swedish)?

Hi Gene,

I am on version 493 (raspberry) how can I upgrade to 493-p4 to test it?

Many thanks

Hi Jens,

Actually, you have to get github sources and compile by yourself.

I don't know where I can put that issue. Or is that an issue ?
All Status and Thermostats controls (SetPoint,Mode,OperatingMode) don't pass through Interconnections. Is it a normal aptitude ?

Updated Post at 14:35 :
I have made some patchs on module, ans now I receive all thermostats events from the server node.
Only replace :
     if (!celladdress.Contains("?") && property.Name.StartsWith("Status."))
By :
     if (!celladdress.Contains("?") && (property.Name.StartsWith("Status.") || property.Name.StartsWith("Thermostat.Mode") || property.Name.StartsWith("Thermostat.Set")))
I have know to find that error ZWave Interface Exception: An empty string is not considered a valid value ..... when I wan't to control the thermostat from client side.

Updated Post at 16:42 :
Side of client HG I got that api call :
MIG.Gateways.WebServiceGateway
192.168.1.7
api/HGIC:192_168_1_2.HomeAutomation.ZWave/11/Thermostat.ModeSet/Off/1440686403825     HTTPGET
Side of server HG I got that api call :
MIG.Gateways.WebServiceGateway
192.168.1.7
api/HomeAutomation.ZWave/11/Thermostat.ModeSet/    HTTPGET
We can see that one parameter is lost in the call to server.

That issue exists with Dimmer and Shutter also. The level Value is not passed to the server :
MIG.Gateways.WebServiceGateway
192.168.1.7
api/HomeAutomation.ZWave/10/Control.Level/   HTTPGET

Found the issue I will pull a request soon.
