Problems Everspring ST814 after Firmware upgrade Vera Plus

Today I updated the firmware of my Vera plus controller to 1.7.2044.
After the update finished, the value (temperature and humidity) don’t update anymore.
I excluded and included the device again. Still no result.
When I push the button 3 times, the values are updated manually.
I changed variable 7 to 1 and variable 8 to 5. No result!

Please help!!!

If you don’t get this issue resolved on your own the best thing to do would be to contact Customer Care and have them look into it. support@getvera.com.

Did this get resolved for you? My sensor reports randomly after the upgrade.

Same problem here.

Hi Marc,

I have a case open with support on this at the moment. I have pointed the agent to this thread.

Let us know if they do anything we can do on our own. I’ll be back and forth and won’t be able to work with Support for a couple of weeks.

Not looking good so far - it has been escalated to their developers.

I suspect they will have to release new firmware.

Same problem here. Almost every time I update firmware instead of seeing fixes I see more things broken :frowning: .

Just keeping you all in the loop - no update as yet.

As an aside - I have found a serious issue with the Lua editor - DO NOT Modify any code in your scenes!!!

Any new code in a scene that contains a + gets the plus stripped out, so for example x=x+1 results in an error in Lua. When you go back to the scene you will only find x=x 1

This is horrible.

Workaround is to use x=x - - 1

Yes it is horrible. Coming from UI5 to UI7 has been a long and frustrating battle for me. I loved UI5. I thought by now UI7 would be stable but it isn’t… I sure hope things turn around for the better. My ST814 worked great for so long… now it no longer triggers my bathroom fan automatically - the only reason I bought it. As you noted, it was fine until I foolishly updated firmware again.

Hi–

Not sure what controller you’re using but have you thought about going back to UI5? With the problems with UI7 I’m staying with UI5 until further notice.

Using Vera 3 but have a Plus waiting to be put into service. My First Alert detectors drive me to UI7 a couple of years ago… Been suffering ever since.

More people have the same problem with the Everspring ST-814.
The problem occurs after the firmware upgrade. Before that, everything was ok!
Till now , no update for this item.
Please let me know when someone has a solution!

I think we got to the point where we can joke a little about Vera… I did find a solution.

This was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” that sent me over to OpenHab as my main controller. Vera will only be running locks and thermostats now until OpenHab supports them better.

Nice to have my Humidity sensor controlling my bathroom fan again. Damn kids are too used to automation… ;D

Still waiting for update…Please.

I too found a solution - moved everything to Domoticz and switched Vera off!

Solved, for me at least.

FWIW I thought I had the same issue, and searching for a solution led me here. I was ready to give up on the EverSpring sensor. However, I left my desk to get supper, and when I came back… all was well! I think the issue is that the sensor goes to sleep immediately after inclusion into the Z-Wave network, and doesn’t wake up again even if you press buttons etc., until the wake timer has expired, which defaults to 1800 seconds – about half an hour. And Vera is waiting during that time for the device to wake to complete the configuration, add the multi-channel embedded devices, etc.

It’s probably not the solution to everyone’s problems, but you might try an exclude, wait a few minutes for things to settle, include again, then wait at least 30 minutes after that before looking at, or attempting to edit the EverSpring device. Go get supper, or something :wink:

Good luck!

got same issues here with ST814 on vera3.
issue is the ST814 values are only updated on the main device, not on the embedded sub-devices (temp+hum).

i have some logging shows device 104 updating nicely (main device), 108 (humidity device) not following with the same values

the problem i had i cannot activate the fan on device 104 in the UI7, it only has the option ‘battery below x%’ to choose from in a scenen.
today i got it working, don’t know if it holds on the long run.

How:
Devices>Temp Humid Sensor>Advanced>Params> “device_json” value was “D_ComboDevice1.json”
I made a new json file, copy of the original D_ComboDevice1.json, as D_EverspringST814.json and inserted 2 more options under “eventList2”
The 2 options i added came from D_HumiditySensor1.json.
You can find the original json-files in Apps>Develop apps>Luup files>Upload , download the originals, edit the code and upload it with a new name. After the new json was uploaded, changed the value in Params and restarted the vera.
Now i have the option to use 'Humidity goes above/below" on the main device, changed the scene to start the fan with this option and it works again.

It’s not a fix, it’s a workaround, but hopefully it works until the next vera update.

I included my two 814 last weekend , they give wierd info , humidity which doesn’t make sense for example.
How do i know ( remotely) when the last update of the Temperature and humidity was?

Thanks,
Cor

Trashed my 2 ST814 due to flaky behaviour and replaced with ZOOZ 4 in 1 sensor.
