openLuup: VeraBridge - Clone remote rooms

Plugins & Plugin Development openLuup
1
Latest version in development branch has a CloneRooms variable which should be set to true to force all bridged devices to be in the same rooms as on the remote Vera. Devices which are in "No Room" remotely, are placed in the appropriately named "MiOS..." room which corresponds to the remote machine name.

To install this version of VeraBridge, simply enter development into the Update box against VeraBridge on the Plugins page, and press Update.

I cant get this too work, I typed in Development and then hit update but am not seeing a CloneRooms Variable?

…did you really type in “Development” ? You should have typed “development” (without the quotes.)

Sorry yes I typed "development" in lower case but still no change. Where should I be seeing the variable?

What versions of both openLuup and VeraBridge are shown on their respective device control panels?

The variable should appear under the VeraBridge device variables.

Akbooer,

using the DEV branch… is it stable for production? I would like, as I said before, having a Room sync :wink:

Oh yes, the development branch is (almost) always good to use.

There is a separate ‘testing’ branch for the scary stuff.

7

What’s the easy way to switch to Dev branch without losing/resintalling ?

Type ‘development’ into the Update box on the Plugins page, and press the Update button.

9

Are you keeping a release note somewhere of the dev branch ?

Same place as the master for significant updates: openLuup: Version log

Otherwise,it’s usually as a response to Suggestions.

Sorry for the late reply I was away from home for a few days…
I tried again but still no luck… No cloneRooms Variable.
Openluup version is 16.8.3 and Bridge is 16.7.5

Do you have an old copy of L_VeraBridge.lua in /etc/cmh-ludl/ ? If so, delete it and reload.

If you open the L_VeraBridge.lua file from the Files menu on the Plugins page, what version do you now see?

13

You need to be running 16.8.12 or later.

ok i think i have sorted it out!!! I needed to chmod 777 openLuup files and folders to allow read and write and now all is working well.
I have installed openLuup on a more permanent machine now and have tried copying the user_data.json file to the new machine and start with ./openLuup_reload but it crashes at the main page? should this be all that required to restore backup of the other machine?

What do mean by crash? Is there a log to share?

Yes, the user_data.json contains the entire context, apart, of course, from the directory structure and device XML and json files.
