Widgets turns undefined

[raptorjr]

I have a problem. After only a few days widgets that were working turns to undefined. It always start with the Energy widget, and after that the Thermostat widget. If I do a factory reset everything turns back to normal. But I don't want to do that a couple of times every week.

Any suggestions on what I could try?

Widgets become undefined when corresponding program fails to start or stop unexpectedly. Instead of performing factory reset go to Programs page and start failed program.

Thank you. Now I need to figure out why it stops after a few days =)

After above help from Bounz I can restart the Energy program when that widget gets undefined.
But which program controls the Basic Thermostat widget?

HG has been running for about 4 days. When I got back home now the Energy and Thermostat widget was undefined. Restarted the Energy program and that widget turned to life again. But what about the Thermostat widget? How can I get that working again without having to reset everything?

Basic Thermostat Widget is controlled by Basic Thermostat Program (PID: 78). In my setup this program is located inside "Weather and Environment" group.

You are gold to this forum Bounz! (or me atleast) I think you know everything about HG =)

There should be a automatic restart option for programs that stop. And maybe a notifiction in some log. But not good that you have to restart them manually all the time. Although I guess they shouldn't crash at all:P

Yes, this is strange, that programs in your setup suddenly stop. I have HG running for months without any problems.
I'll try to check sources and implement the auto-restart feature.

Hi, raptorjr.
I have made an auto-restart feature (and also merged your new Add Module dialog). Check the download link for testing build here: http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=129.msg11843#msg11843.

Nice, will try it as soon as I can.

Could you make a pull request or something? Would be nice to have this in my local dev branch.

[Bounz]

No problem: https://github.com/raptorjr/HomeGenie/pull/2
You can easily do such pull requests into your own repo by yourself also.

Thank you. Everything is new to me. JavaScript, HTML, Web development and GitHub. But I'm slowly learning.

I was found this git tutorial very helpful when started to use git as a main version control system. Maybe it will help you too.
