TESTING RELEASE

[gcoupe]

I've installed r478 on a couple of Windows machines. Is it just me, or is this release very much more sluggish than previous releases? I seem to spend most of my time looking at the spinning circle...

[gcoupe]

Well, I unistalled r478 from one of my machines, and reinstalled r476. Now the system is back to be fast and responsive... So my Windows machines don't like something in r478...

Hi Gene

I have r478 installed and im trying to get my thermostat to work, but im having a slight issue - not sure that i have the correct version of the Z-Wave Wake-up program ? 

I have my thermostat set to wake up every 256 seconds (the minimum value) and when it wakes up homegenie receives it's update.. but if i change the set point in the homegenie widget i get a response timeout message and the temperature on the thermostat doesnt change - then at the next wake up interval the setpoint value in the widget changes back to the same as the thermostat.

Looking at the code in the Z-Wave wake up program i cant see anywhere where it sets the thermostat setpoint (just reads it).. which makes me think it didnt get updated for some reason?

new testing release r477 is out:

    - Should fix bug in ZWaveLib Thermostat.SetPointSet (encoding of setpoint value)
    - Added ZWave message queuing for nodes supporting Wake Up command class (battery powered devices - issue #77)

    - Fixed bug in MIGInterfaceCommand options parsing, that was affecting Statistics/Parameter.StatsHour when a module domain/address filter was passed
    - Fixed IP Camera widget preview not showing
    - Added missing Z-Wave command classes to _nodesetup.js
    - Updated locale language files

Hi! I have r478 running and my z wave module Aeon Micro Smart energy switch is automatically changing from scheduled on/off to level poll...
I have tried to make a clean install(including removing the /usr/local/bin/homegenie directory) but still no luck.
This is supposed to control some of our outdoor lights with Sunset / Sunrise...

How can i debug this problem?

Many thanks for a really nice software(have donated)

Cheers,
Tompa

Hi gene
Any chance to fix bug #98?

Thank you

[d-home78]

After update to R478 :
- Fibaro FGS211 : feedbacks of local action "on/off" are displayed
- Evergreen SM103 door switch : no feedback of "door is open" (same as < R478). Tamper switch works fine (same as with previous release)

Thanks.

Hi all,

I noticed that after upgrading to r484, frequently my own programs were disabled somehow. After I enable them back, in the next 1 or 2 days they were disabled again. I downgraded to r478 and now everything looks ok.

Anyone is experiencing similar problems?

Thx.
