7.32 Vera Firmware - Beta Release

I just noticed an unexpected Administrator Account on my (7.32 beta) Vera Plus called ‘LinuxTest’ which I never knowingly created or authorized (edit: I authorized it for a different controller… see EDIT below).

Should I be worried? Does anyone else see the same thing under Settings > User and Account Info > Other Users? And is it safe to remove?

EDIT: Someone explained that this was a legit account created by ezlo staff while helping with a problem on a different controller (beta test ezlo Plus); it just happens to appear on all of my controllers due to how accounts are stored at the User Account level.

FYI, I don’t see that account on my Vera Plus (7.32).

Turns out it was related to an admin account created by ezlo staff on an entirely different controller (beta testing ezlo Plus unit). I had not realized that these User Accounts would appear on every controller, and only then because they get created at the “account” level rather than the “controller” level.

MYSTERY SOLVED!

still waiting for an answer or plan to plublish…

sorry, but very dissapointed after years of use - no answer at all to my question. Still testing the 7.32 on 1 VERA Plus - no problems. I have 3 other PLUS and wait for some sort of roadmap for roll out.

The link in the first post is not longer valid:

I found a new link - maybe the fw is released now?

Curious to know how you “found” such a link? lol
I’ve gotta say 7.32 (beta) has been rock solid for me this past month, so I’ll happily jump on board the official release.

Once @Oscar.Morales , @Sorin et al say it’s official. :slight_smile:

As I discovered the broken beta link, I just followed the logic from previous official fw links and it works…
7.32 is installed on 2 machines without problems. Even when you reset to factory settings, the 7.32 is installed.

The links for the download at the top don’t work
i.e. [broken link removed]

I’ve asked the team. A new set of builds are coming this week.

Hello,
We’ve released a new beta version.

UI7 - Vera Firmware Update (Open Beta 2)

Firmware versions:
VeraEdge: [deprecated link]
VeraPlus: [deprecated link]
VeraSecure: [deprecated link]

Fixes:

  1. Fixed the issue with broken schedule after editing a scene based on “After/Before Sunrise/Sunset”
  2. Fixed the issues with empty device pairing wizards for Honeywell T6 Pro Thermostat, RCS Technology Thermostat TBZ500 Lux Thermostat KONOse and Lux Thermostat KONOzw
  3. Fixed the issues about negative values in “Device Options” not being displayed correctly. Negative values can be set from “Advanced”->“Variables”->“VariablesSet” but there is still an known issue about not being able to set it from “Device Options”.

@edward Noticed on Edge (5372), install with factory reset:

  • The mios_fix_time script, which is broken and I thought you said you were going to remove, is still present and now linked twice (once with a .sh suffix and once without) in /etc/rc.d
  • In fact, it looks like there are a handful of scripts in /etc/rc.d/ that are now double-linked, once with .sh suffix and once without, and this will cause them BOTH to run at boot; I’m not sure this is a good idea, may have unintended consequences/side-effects. List:

In light of this revelation, am now adopting an even stricter “wait and see, and then wait some more” stance on installing beta (really, any) firmware onto daily driver Vera.

I’ve updated to the latest beta and it’s working ok for me, but I’m decoupled and I’ve removed the scripts mentioned by @rigpapa anyway. I’ll report back in case of errors.

@rigpapa thanks for catching this. We know where the issue is and are working on a fix.
