Nothing is saving properly and disappears HELP!

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)

Hi

I am having issues setting up a new PLEG it keeps on loosing things and is not saving properly. Can be triggers, schedules, conditions and actions. I enter my configuration then click on back and then hit the Save Changes button, I then reload LUUP and then refresh the browser and 9 times out of 10 what I have just added has gone making PLEG pretty much unusable at the moment.

VeraEdge UI7 v1.7.1509 (beta) Support got me to update the firmware last week to try and fix something else.
PL Core v7.48
PL Event Generator v7.47

Auto Update is checked on both.

Am I doing something incorrect or is there a known problem?

Thanks

EDIT: I am using Chrome web browser on Windows 10 to access the Vera web GUI.

Where is there a “Save Changes” button ?

DO NOT USE THE BROWSER BACK BUTTON!
Navigate to where you need to go using the what’s available on the current page.

In the PLEG along the top you have

Inputs - Conditions - Actions - More… - Back

I have been pressing back there and then you can see a Save Changes button.

I am not using the browser back button.

Thanks

All day yesterday I was having issues with it not saving and what should have took 10 minutes to setup look hours.

Having said that today so far touch wood, it has been saving things OK. And I am not doing anything different to what I was doing yesterday.

Thanks

I created a new PLEG instance today for Heating and Lighting and I am having the same problem, most of the time it does not save what I have entered in to it and it just disappears. I don’t know why its doing this?

Thanks

Just reload the lump from where you are that is what commits the changes. If you are editing conditions then hit reload when you are done editing the condition. If you are in inputs reload from there when you are done editing.

The save changes button you are hitting is only for the device name and room assignment and has nothing to do with saving in PLEG.

OK many thanks

So after editing inputs I should then reload and after editing conditions I should then reload again.

I will give that a try !

That doesn’t seem to work?

Under inputs I just added a new schedule, I then clicked the Reload Luup button that is in this area. Vera reloaded and I then refreshed the browser and went back in to the PLEG now under inputs - schedules my new schedule has vanished.

EDIT: That was using Chrome browser. If I open Vera in Internet Explorer instead the new schedule is still not listed so its not a browser issue I don’t think.

Finally after 6 or 7 attempts the new schedule has now stuck and is not vanishing. But PLEG is pretty much unusable for me at the moment due to this issue. :frowning:

I am now trying to add a new condition and when done I clicked on the Reload Luup button in the Conditions area. Vera then reloads. I then refresh the browser when the reload has finished and go back in to the PLEG and look at the Conditions.

In this instance it has saved the condition name which is cFrontLEDsOff (it didn’t save the comment I added) and the contents of the condition have vanished. It should have had sFrontLEDsOff in the condition.

See screen shot

Thanks

What version of Vera Firmware on your one.
What versions are the Program Logic Core and Program Logic Event Generator Plug’ins on?

There is a compat issue with the latest version of the Logic Core if you are not on the latest UI7 firmware.

You mean this

I just followed the instructions and named the file J_ProgramLogic.js and uploaded it to Vera.

Note there was not an existing file already named J_ProgramLogic.js so not 100% that was the correct file name?

There was an existing file called J_ProgramLogicC-UI7.jsenc

Any ways after reload / refresh I tried to add another new schedule and still have problems, it saved the schedules name this time, but it lost the comment I added and it also lost the actual schedule I setup, like the days of the week and the time had all gone / vanished again.

StartType for the schedule was set back to Unknown, I set it to Day of Week.

13

OH, this may sound silly, but are you pressing the “accept” button to commit the changes to the schedule before you press the reload button.

14

You do not need to “Reload LUA” until ALL of your changes are made.

You can edit Inputs, Condition, Actions, Notification … then when all is done … “Reload LUA”

15

Yes I am pressing the Accept button in the schedules area when creating a new schedule. There is no such button in the conditions area.

That doesn’t work either some things might get saved but most of it disappears after. :cry:

Hi

I’m still having big issues with PLEG not saving stuff and it just disappears which is very frustrating, edits which should take 10 minutes can take over an hour having to re-enter everything over and over until I get lucky and it sticks.

Vera Edge is now on Firmware 1.7.1707
Program Logic Core 7.48
Program Logic Event Generator 7.47

Thanks

I am pretty sure this is the same problem I reported in this forum a couple of weeks ago, http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,35989.0.html.

I do a lot of work in PLEG and it seems like all of a sudden I started having to wait random amounts of time before committing my changes. So I would make my changes and wait 5 to 10 minutes before clicking “Reload LUUP”. After the reload completed I would refresh my page and the changes would stick but not always. I had times where they stuck after a couple of minutes and times where they did not stick after 15 minutes. I have a ticket open with Vera support on the issue. I will report back once this gets addressed.

19

So I just made some changes and waited 15 minutes to reload the luup. After reloading the luup I ran a status report which showed that all of my changes were gone. I then reloaded my browser for good measure and when I went back into my conditions they most certainly were gone. This is getting to be a serious issue and is crippling my ability to use PLEG.

Hi

Well least I am not the only one! Yes I am seeing the same problems as you described as well.
