Title: Android App
Post by: domotica86 on April 19, 2015, 05:25:17 PM

I bought a small 7inch android tablet with 4.4 to use as a touched on the wall. Unfortunately the Android app doesn't seem to update the status of the z-wave switches. It works fine to use switches, but I can't see if a switch is on or off, for instance if somebody used the switch in the wall. Is that normal behavior for the Android App?

The app doesn't really update the status correctly for me either.  If I control a device from the app, it will correctly change the physical module as commanded, but it does not change the state in the app.  If I change something from the web interface, the app does not update.  If I change something from a controller that transmits the command that HG can see, the app does not update.  If I control a module locally, nothing updates for me as I use X10 and it has no transmit capability so this is expected.

If I use the android app to control a module, I can get it to update the status if I switch to a different tab and then back.  I don't recall currently if this works every time for every type of change listed above or if it's less predictable.  I have not done enough testing to say for sure as I only use the app periodically and it works well enough for my current needs.

What is type of your servers? (Windows/Linux)

Now I have a server running Windows Serveer 2012R2 and the same problem with it.
But I remember when I tested it on a Raspberry PI B+, then it worked.

I run HG on a RPi B.
