[quote=“kigmatzomat, post:78, topic:199599”][quote=“melih, post:76, topic:199599”]I think a better starting point is: Please tell us all the problems you are facing. Lets get it all out in the open so that we can start addressing them one by one.
Its day one of our acquisition, we believe in this company and we want to do good by its users.[/quote]
Well, you could read this thread before posting.
But I will give you cliff notes:
There is no bug tracking system or you could have just read that.
There is no feature request system or you could have just read that.
I suspect that customer care ticket system isn’t categorized or you could have pulled metrics.
The current OS has memory leaks in poor performance and system failures.
Despite being a “fully local” controller, it has multiple services that always call home. Some of those tasks are very CPU intensive.
If those services fail to call home, the backlog grows, consuming disk and CPU resources until the machine bogs down.
The luup engine that does most of the work is delicate and it’s not uncommon for the engine to fail multiple times a day. Or even multiple times an hour. See issues above.
Luup restarts can take more than a minute to complete.
Automations fail during luup restarts and as most variables are wiped, many scenes fail to start when part of the trigger condition data is lost.
The device management system is prone to getting “ghost” devices that cannot be cleared without a restore or firmware upgrade
Zwave network management is something of a wreck as the system will often flag devices as unreachable that may or may not work just fine.
Enrollment/disenrollment requires a luup restart (see above) for each device.
Device enrollment is too dependent on recognizing a particular product/model rather than using zwave capabilities. As a result, new devices often don’t have the correct capabilities configured.
Logging is much harder to use or access than it should be.
Firmware upgrades are untrustworthy as they often cause more harm than good.
Production firmware releases often include code not seen in the beta releases.
Firmware releases often include so many language packs that devices run out of space and brick during upgrades.
Most of the best features are from user-developers but firmwares often cause issues with apps.
ZigBee is more or less a nonexistent feature
Bluetooth is a nonexistent feature
Geez, I am depressed just writing that.
Btw, I own a Vera3 and a vera plus. Neither is plugged in because see above.[/quote]
now I am depressed too
Now I will use this list to start building a department that can take all these and get it resolved and report back to you…
Please do keep it coming …
