Firmware version 1.0.283 available

Looks like another update is now available.

Looks like manually adding IP-cameras didn’t make this version.

Just updated myself and I too don’t see an option to add an IP camera.

Scratch that. Now it shows up… Weird.

Yes, it is working for me now too. Setup of the camera was very difficult (see other thread for the steps I had to follow).

After you do an update, the ‘reload’ link should force a browser refresh and clear out the cache. What you’re describing indicates that the firmware upgraded, but the browser was using the old html/javascript that was cached. For sure, once Vera got the 283 firmware, the html file has a pull-down to add a camera. I created a bug report to look into it: http://bugs.micasaverde.com/view.php?id=213

We’ll also see if there’s a way to make the process simpler, and to add more plug and play scripts for other cameras besides the Panasonic.

Upgrade unsuccessful?
Has anyone run into this problem… I took the upgrade, but now I get:
haserl CGI Error
Unknown operation near line 58 of /www/cgi-bin/cmh/upgrade_step1.sh

When I go to the Advanced>Downloads page… Also, if I go to the Advanced>Net & wi-fi>Advanced configuration page I get a blank tab (using Firefox 3.0.3) that never populates. So at this moment it looks like I cannot do much…

I just recently removed all scene’s from Vera, which were there since 1.0.272.

I went in and tried to add two new ones, and I can’t get past changing the name. When I click the + button to expand to the additional options, it doesn’t do anything.

Anyone else having a problem?

I’m currently on 1.0.283.

Updated 11/3/2008 7:34 pm:

I did a complete reset of the Vera box, and I was able to create new scene’s and I was able to modify the scene’s I added.

New issue with Vera not getting gateway address if in bridged mode after a reset.

Did you tried with another browser?
You can go directly to http://[IP]/cgi-bin/cmh/upgrade_step1.sh - e.g. http://192.168.81.1/cgi-bin/cmh/upgrade_step1.sh for upgrade.
Note that your Vera need internet access in order to check for new version.

I tried a completely different computer, same type of browser (I only have one on each computer). No luck, same error for the upgrade page. Using the direct link gets the same error.
I am able to access the advanced networking pages, but at an address of http://192.168.81.1/cgi-bin/webif/info.sh instead of the http://192.168.81.1/cgi-bin/webif/info.awx that the “Advanced configuration” link leads to…
Interestingly enough, the networking info page now appears as my main page when I connect to the IP. That does not strike me as quite right anymore either, but I am able to connect to the normal pages if I go to http://192.168.81.1/cmh/ (the default instead of my actual IP is shown).

We’re just getting to release the next firmware, and it has an enhancement to the tech support section so we can see what you’re seeing. When you get the next version, call us, tell us what browser you’re using, and we’ll connect to your setup page via remote assistance so we can reproduce it.

Is there a way to upgrade without using the Downloads page? I still cannot access that.

If you can’t get to the web UI, you can manually upgrade the firmware like this:

  1. run “telnet [ip of vera]” from your pc’s command prompt (or use ssh, like putty, if you set a root password)

  2. type:
    cd /tmp
    curl -o firmware.img “http://download.controlmyhouse.net/firmware/wl500gP-1.0.292.trx
    mtd -r write firmware.img linux

  3. Wait about 4 minutes. Vera will reboot and be at a factory default state. If it doesn’t reboot in 10 minutes, cycle power on Vera

Attempting this now… I will let you know the results.

It worked! The downloads page is back and the Advanced Configuration page of the networking is working at the correct URL again.
Thanks.
