TESTING RELEASE

[Jens]

Hi Gene,

thanks you, you fixed it. 360 so far w/o any problems.

Since UPNP was disabled the 357 was not crashing anymore now for several days (until I updated today to 360)

Cheers
Jens

Hi Gene,

I unstalled r360 now but same problem for the status in Control mode.
The java script console says that one file is missing (Error 404).
The file is fr.lingo.json.
And this file is not in the folder /hg/html/locales/.

In this release JkUtils SunCalc doesn't work anymore same as r357.

Cheers
Dani

HG now to fast :-) ?

Hi Gene,

I use Infrared Commands forwarding from one Box to the main Box

Programm Instructions are

HomeGenie Automation do LIGHTSON Room1

Room1 has 1 X10 device and 5 HUE devices

nearly always the last hue device is not turned on

and I have to issue the command again.

First showed up in R360 (before all lights were turned on but it took longer)

Regards
Jens

Does the light actually turn on and just the control panel it is not updated?
If the light do not turn on at all, try increasing the delay in the Automation->Scenes->GroupsOn program:

Code: [Select]

Modules
  .InGroup( PROGRAM_OPTIONS_STRING )
  .OfDeviceType("Light,Dimmer")
  .IterationDelay(0.25) // <--- 250ms pause, try increasing it to eg. 350ms (0.35)
  .On();

If the light turn on and just the status in the control panel it is not updated, try to look at the debug info in the browser console and see if the event is missing from there.

Hello Beta Testers 

a new testing release is available:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/homegenie/upload/testing/

please read the change log for testing new features and fixes.

Cheers,

I updated and found a few issues with programs not being usable.  When I went through the list of automation items, I tried to disable all items I don't need for testing.  There were several items that had red icons that were either green or yellow before.  I can disable them but they turn purple which means they are broken I believe.  The ones I found were:

• Security alarm (red)
• Group Lights OFF (red)
• Group Lights ON (red)
• MCP23017 GPIO Modules (purple)

I don't use these, but I tried to figure what was wrong with a couple but couldn't figure it out.

Also, I tried my 2 part X10 speed test using a stop watch.  The fastest time was right at 2 seconds.  The slowest was closer to 3 though.  I'm not sure why it would vary since I'm not running anything special on this system yet.

Hi Ben,

please upgrade using this procedure:

1) sudo dpkg --remove homegenie
2) sudo gdebi homegenie-beta_1.00.362_all.deb

also refresh the home page the first time you load it.

Cheers,
g.

[bkenobi]

Will do.  For reference, I started from a fresh image of r360.

[bkenobi]

1) sudo dpkg --remove homegenie
2) sudo gdebi homegenie-beta_1.00.362_all.deb
3) restore backup image saved several versions ago

I tried a factory reset to see if using the image was the issue.  It did not fix things, so either the backup was not completely removed or it's an issue somewhere else.

Hi Ben,

I need more info about the issue you reported since I am not able to reproduce.
I suspect it's something related to the bakcup restore. Probably if you do not restore a backup after r362 install, there won't be any issue.

In the meanwhile attacched to this message there is a patch that adds event logs to HG. This is a work in progress so any suggestion is welcome.
I think you'll like it, I remember you asking for such feature.
It's just html files but since HG has got some caching mechanism it can takes up to 10 minutes to see the new UI without a restart.
Click the upper right led to enter the event log.

I tried installing HG 362 again without restoring the backup and programs work correctly again.  There must be something in the backup files causing issues.  I don't have much in my test setup, so I'll just import programs and set up from scratch.

I installed the log tool, but haven't figured out where to find it yet.  I believe you are suggesting that I just click the X icon in the upper right corner where the update arrow appears.  So far, that doesn't do anything so I will keep looking.  I also tried clicking the led on the group but that also did nothing for me.  For reference, I'm using FireFox on Win7.

[bkenobi]

Is there a direct link to the log so I can at least take a look at it?

[bkenobi]

I found that I could manually navigate to the log page, but it was empty. 

http://192.168.0.200/hg/html/pages/events/main.html

I'm using a little imagination here since the formatting is rough and the page was empty of events.  However, based on the titles and the text boxes, I'm envisioning that you will be listing all kinds of events with sufficient detail to see what's going on.  And, the text boxes are presumably for filtering on the fly.  I'm looking forward to seeing a functioning version!

One comment on the new version with my 2 X10 command test.  I found that it could be very quick or somewhat slow.  I'm not sure why, but sometimes the light turned on in what appeared to be less than 2 seconds (good), but a few times it seemed to take closer to 3 seconds (bad).  I did have the web interface running on the laptop, so perhaps that caused lag?  I didn't have the logging XTenLib.dll setup for this, so I don't know what could be going on to slow things down.  In previous testing I was pretty consistently between 2.1 and 2.3 seconds).
