I thought iVera had been abandoned!

I really did, mine hasn’t worked in ages and I haven’t seen any fixes. Is someone working to get iVera going again?

Sure! The developer is working on it. And there’s been Beta testing going on; there have been several iterations. From my perspective: huge improvement.

Im running 1.06 final and its functional
Also betatesitng is done on 1.2x with TED support and some bugfixing.

Good to hear. I liked iVera when it worked, can’t wait to see what’s coming.

Anything specific that didn’t work / stopped working?

Everything. It didn’t matter if I was home or on 3G, I just get the “Refreshing x Times” screen until it declares it can’t connect. This happens about 3 out of every 4 tries…until I stopped trying. I did try it again earlier this week and it refreshed twice then connected but who wants to wait for that?

I see. That does not sound unfamiliar. The current beta is indeed very promising in that regard. I’m assuming those changes will make it into the next release.

There were problems with shade control that I communicated to the developer, but my beta provision ran out, and was on my iPod not my new iPhone, so I’m not testing it anymore. I’d be glad to help as I can test it against all of the major shade controllers.
