Is there a UI7 general bugs thread?

Community Playground General Discussions
1

Now that UI7 is out of beta, is there a group or thread on here specifically about issues and bugs with this release?

2

Can this be the start of one then?

I’ve noticed that sometimes when creating scenes, I get an error ‘Failed to save system configuration’ and the scene has an ID of the form ‘100001’ instead of a 2-digit number that would follow the numbers of the other scenes. This means that the scene doesn’t actually exist and if you login and then log out, it has gone. Not sure what is causing this but I think it is something to do with the LUA code in the scene. Bizarrely, the same code might work a bit later.

Sure would be nice to have somewhere to discuss the issues!

UI7 is out of beta? By what standards? ;D

Might be a problem if you tried to throw all problems into on thread.

Since I’ve upgraded, there always seems to be one or more devices in the dashboard listed as ‘no longer connected’. It varies each time I login but all of my devices are working or have worked fine. It is currently telling me 6 of my devices are not connected. Each time I test the devices shown as not connected they work OK. Any thoughts?

6

Something that concerns me somewhat is the shortcuts section of the UI and iOS apps.
Some shortcuts are dangerous: For example; since some GE wall plugs are detected as ‘lamps’; the shortcut to turn all lights on or off can for example accidentally leave a dehumidifier off; and so on.
It needs to be configurable; as well as the icons and device type should be configurable to some extent.
Also the ‘modes’ need more flexibility; or at least hide mode that are not in use.

For the first time since I upgraded I finally have all my device happily connected with none saying they are unreachable :slight_smile:

The biggest and most annoying bug (though tech support tell me it isn’t a bug) is that if I connect on the ‘User and Account Info’ menu option, it displays the sub-menu then redirects me to login again :frowning: The only way I’ve managed to access these features are by logging in from work and doing it remotely. On my home network these menu options are totally unreachable.

Once I log back in, I can then go to settings without another login request.

Here is the bug report I sent to Vera Corp support team:

[quote=“lolodomo, post:9, topic:183403”]Here is the bug report I sent to Vera Corp support team:

Please next time when you find bugs and report them, please add also logs for the bug, especially when the bug is related to any kind of devices(z-wave, plugin generated).

[quote=“mcv.andrei, post:10, topic:183403”][quote=“lolodomo, post:9, topic:183403”]- “Can’t detect device” error for a Z-wave device (was OK in UI5) but scenes with this device are apparently working We will need additional information and logs. This could be also generated by a failed poll for that node, and when it is executed again, device is reached, failure flag is set and device is responding again in UI

That’s exactly what seems to happen. The poll seems to fail while the command seems to be received and handled by the device. Of course, I never get this error when I run UI5 and my Vera and all my Z-Wave devices are unchanged (same location).

Here are the logs I can find:

The Fibaro dimmer is device 83.

Edit: I just discovered in my logs that I have the same error for another Z-Wave device: an Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch. But strangely this one is not listed in error in the dashboard.

But here are the errors when I try to switch ON this device through the UI:

And now, after this failed test, the device is added in the dashboard as in error.
Note that there is only 6 meters between my Vera and this Z-Wave device !
Strangely this device was working well since my upgrade to UI7.

No, here is how you can reproduce the bug.
Note that I just discovered that is not dependent on browser. Same bug in IE and Firefox

1 - Click on Apps => Develop apps; fill in your code and push GO. That’s working well, code is run.

2 - Click on Edit Startup Lua

3 - Click on Test luup code. Note that the code has been suppressed (in UI5, the previous code was kept). Now fill in again a code and push GO. Nothing happens.

PS: I used luup.log commands to do the test.

Scheduled scenes are simply not working properly. I have one that runs every 15 mins and another that runs every 60 mins. Both use LUA code to send simple messages to my home control system, so that I can check they are working. Simply editing and updating them causes ‘failed to save unit configuration messages’ but, I eventually got both onto my Vera Lite and could manually run them OK.

The reliability of them running is terrible and quite random. The 60min one ran 3 times today then stopped. The 15min one ran once. The 60 min one ran once this evening again.

If you look at the UI, the times displayed for when the scene should next be run are wrong. Often they are some time in the past or the same as the last run time/date (ignoring the fact that it’s displaying US date formats and shouldn’t be!).

14

@dreamgreenhouse: be happy, you could simply enter in an infinite lua engine crash when using scenes schedules every xx minutes.

15

Configuring the serial port still doesn’t work in IE11.

16

I can’t get scheduled scenes to work at all now :frowning: Unfortunately this is a critical part of my Z-Wave network in my home automation system. Going to have start looking at an alternative to the Vera Lite unless they can get a software fix out to address this soon.

17

Software fix has been out for years. It’s called UI5. Before you “Look for an alternative to VERA” Google UI5 and use that.
It has been made fully aware on this forum that UI7 has more bugs and non functioning items then any other version. Which version you choose to use is your choice. Doesn’t matter if you upgraded to UI7 or if you bought a new device already with UI7. Option is still the same.

18

In IE11 Device Value for assigned to room is undefined. User is unable to modify the room that the device is assigned to. See attached.

FYI - Works in Firefox.

19

Even in IE9, the page is not displayed.

Here are few additional bug I previously forgot to report.
