Program Logic Event Generator

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

I saw a posting about the Program Logic Event Generator and it intrigued me, so I went to the apps store and downloaded, first, the Program Logic Core common code plug-in, and that worked fine. I then went to download the Program Logic Event Generator, and it seemed to start fine, but my Vera goes into an endless “Unit busy” cycle. So then I decided to unplug my Vera and re-start it, and now I can’t get a solid orange “Ready” light - it just blinks very slowly, once about every five seconds, and am unable to communicate with it. It seems like my Vera/Lite is hosed. Does anyone know what happened and/or if I can recover from this?

UPDATE: I can now see my dashboard, but the status window just shows two lines…the first says Luup: Downloading Luup plug-ins, and the second says Zwave: Starting z-wave Network. But it’s stuck there. I can seem to do anything. It’s been a good 20 minutes since I clicked the button to download the PLEG plug-in - it can’t take this long, can it?

UPDATE: RESOLVED

I’m still not sure what happened, but I did a restore from a prior backup, and that reset my Vera Lite into working order again.

Has anyone else experienced this weirdness trying to download/install the Program Logic Event Generator, or any other plug-in?

Have you been successful at downloading the Program Logic Core and Program Logice Event Generator ?

I was able to download the Program Logic Core without any problem. However, after attempting to download the Program Logic Event Generator and locking up both of my Vera Lites in what seemed to be an endless loop, I will not try that again. I still don’t understand exactly what happened, and had it not happened on both of my Vera Lites in exactly the same manner, I would have thought it was a fluke. But everything I described earlier in this post happened to the Vera Lite in my main home, and then I stupidly tried to download the Plug-in to the Vera Lite in my vacation home, and kluged up that one too.

Fortunately, the restoration from a backup restored both Veras to working order. But I’m not going to try downloading that plug-in again until/unless I hear from someone that I should’ve done something different to complete that download successfully.

Hi,

Same problem here with Vera light. Downloading PLC went ok, but PLEG resulted in endless loop. Only restore of backup brought it back working. PLTS downloaded and installed without problems.

Thanks

Could be this bug again: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=10679.0

It certainly seems that’s the issue. With all the mayhem that caused me last week, I’m completely gun-shy to download any plug-ins at this point.

I first tried to download the Program Logic Event Generator and it seemed to go okay but there was no triggers tab. Then I tried to download the Program Logic Core and I could not access my vera3. After sometime, I was able to gain access to my vera3 and the “unit busy” message went on for 10 minutes. Meanwhile I found this string so I decided to restore from yesterday’s backup. That seemed to recover my system so I tried again. This time I download the Program Logic Core, which seemed to go okay but there was no device that appeared on my desktop. Then I tried to download the Program Logic Event Generator again and got into another endless loop.
Hopefully, someone will let us know when this problem is fixed. I will report it to tech support.

Try the previous version of PLEG or PLC … One of them seems to be hosed on apps.mios.com.

I found it at apps.mios.com and am uploading it now.
The latest release on this website did not load. I am trying the one dated 12/15/12.
That failed to load too.

Even though it gave a message that it failed to load both versions, I found a version (? which one) on my desktop. ?This one has a “trigger” tab so it may have loaded successfully.

How do I know if the Program Logic Core is successfully installed? I thought that I loaded it but don’t see a device on my desktop for it.

I have been able to duplicate the problem. It appears to be a problem on the apps.mios.com site.

To work around:
Create a file called D_ProgramLogicEG.xml with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0">
  <specVersion>
    <major>1</major>
    <minor>0</minor>
  </specVersion>
  <device>
    <deviceType>urn:schemas-rts-services-com:device:ProgramLogicEG:1</deviceType>
    <staticJson>D_ProgramLogicEG.json</staticJson> 
    <serviceList>
      <service>
        <serviceType>urn:schemas-rts-services-com:service:ProgramLogicEG:1</serviceType>
        <serviceId>urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:ProgramLogicEG</serviceId>
        <SCPDURL>S_ProgramLogicEG.xml</SCPDURL>
      </service>
      <service>
        <serviceType>urn:schemas-rts-services-com:service:ProgramLogicC:1</serviceType>
        <serviceId>urn:rts-services-com:serviceId:ProgramLogicC</serviceId>
        <SCPDURL>S_ProgramLogicC.xml</SCPDURL>
      </service>
    </serviceList>
    <implementationList>
      <implementationFile>I_ProgramLogicEG.xml</implementationFile>
    </implementationList>
  </device>
</root>

Then goto Apps → Develop Apps → Luup Files.
Where it says Uload Files select the file you created.
Then Go
Then install the Program Logic Core and Program Logic Event Generator plugin.
I will have to get @MCFlorin to find out why the file is not downloading.
