Altui blank tab on opening via button on vera

Plugins & Plugin Development Alternate UI
#1

Vera gives me a new empty white tab when pressing the altui button. Latest version according to Vera is 2.24 and I have 2.26 running. ::slight_smile:
Not sure when this started, but I think this was not directly after the firmware update of vera.

This problem, I think:

http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,85487.0.html

Just follow the brief instructions there.

#3

Ok, clear. But how do i “Reset home url variable then reload luup”?

#4

Go to Devices, click on the Variables for the AltUI device, then look for LocalHome. After clearing it, reload.

#5

Cant celar that value: Value cannot be empty.

Clear it from altui itself
Or with a luup variable set lua code from test lua

#7

Hi Amg, would appreciate a little more help and guidance :-). Altui wont open so I cant use that anymore.
It truns a blank screen. I would not know how to reset a vlue for Aluit with luup?

run a code like this in UI7 test lua window

luup.variable_set("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:altui1", "LocalHome", "" , <ALTUI_DEVICE_NUMBER>)

you should also be able to open ALTUI using the good url

http://<ipaddr>/port_3480/data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home#

and reset the variable from ALTUI

I have fixed this LocalHome issue in the next release ( I hope )

#10

@amg0, I am not sure that you have. Using v2414, after clearing LocalHome, and reloading, I get a 404 error, with the following URL:

http:///data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home

No port number, no trailing #. I have been unable to find any incantation to put in LocalHome that works.

#11

Yes, here too now. Fixed it before, but now (after update of altui) get:

veraip/data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home

and then:
404 - Not Found

try again, reset variable, then go into settings and play a bit with the url selection menus ( this should set it properly ).
I ll try again when I am back home but this is what I did with the new release to confirm it worked. it does not work if you carry over a non empty variable value from an older release, basically the app set it up properly but only if it is empty

#13

Cleared it empty via altui but does not set it back correctly despite…

#14

Can you please explain step by step ( 1. 2. 3 4 etc ) what you do from the variable clear step 0 and until you confirm the new value of the variable is still not correct so I get a proper repro scenario
Thx

#15

Ok, here you go:
step1: trying to open altui via vera: 404 error.
step2: using url http:///port_3480/data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home# opens altui.
step3: goto altui device via altui and open variables. I clear the “LocalHome” value by pressing the bin. it asks “Do you also want to delete this variable definitively ? (LocalHome)” and I say Yes.
step4: close the dialog box and it seems to reload luup (although controller does not respond for a while - 11 seconds).
step5: I refresh the native vera interface, goto altui app and press open button, so I try the button via vera interface again: about blank.
step6: reload luup again manually (it seems it did not reload luup automatically) → goto altui and reload luup engine.
step7: I refresh the native interface from vera again and and press open button: 404 - Not Found

ok should be fixed in the next revision. in fact since march2008 there is a pb with my openluup detection code due to the change documented here

#17

The latest release (v2418) has fixed now this issue for me. Many thanks.

#18

espite, for me it does not… still 404…

#19

make sure you have the lates version, try again to clear the LocalHome variable from within ALTUI or with a lua code on UI7.
then refresh browser + reload LUA
then try again from scratch
if it does not work try to do the whole sequence in debug mode and share the logs

Works, will monitor behaviour. Thanks!
