Release Notes - UI7 - Vera Firmware Update - v.7.0.31 (1.7.4954/1.7.4955/1.7.4956) - February 19th, 2020

[korttoma]

Upgraded my main VeraPlus from Version 1.7.4903 to Version 1.7.4955. No problems so far…

I can confirm that the Hue issue has nothing to do with this Vera firmware update.
On my production Vera Plus I still run the Vera Hue plugin on an old firmware. This has run fluently for some years, but since yesterday it stopped working. all Hue lights are gone, despite I paired the bridge again and it says connection is OK. On my test Vera Plus I did the firmware upgrade to 7.0.31 and there I run the AltHue plugin. This still runs as a charm. So I now have a problem with my production unit, but don’t dare yet to upgrade it (because of other problems and not tested long enought).

Hi,

@slelieveld

We are pleased to announce that we’re releasing today Firmware v.7.0.3 for the following controllers

I fixed it, thank you. It is 7.0.31 - as in the title.

Hi,

@Mai_Pensato

I updated my test Vera Plus. This went fast. First thing I notice now: Watt readings on wall plugs (both Fibaro and Greenwave) are not visible anymore in the UI. In Variables-Watts I can see the actual readings.
Can someone confirm this new bug ?

I confirm it is a bug in the webUI, I added it in the known issues list and in the backlog for the dev team to work on it. On iOS and Android it is displayed correctly.

Hi,

@rafale77

To be fair, the fixed list is a gap to 7.31 beta 1. It is very incomplete. Given the pull of 7.30 you should add the 7.31 beta 1 list and the 7.30 list. If coming from 7.29, the list of fixes is actually quite massive and this is one of the most significant releases.

Exactly, the list of fixes is way bigger. You can look here at the list of fixes included in the 7.0.30 release. Thank you @rafale77 for your replies and the testing you’re doing.

@rafale77

@Mai_Pensato. Interesting that this Wattage problem was not on beta 1.

This is new, we’ve added it in the list for the dev team to solve it.

@rafale77

Is it unique to the switches or do you see that on the HEM as well? (My prod unit is on another luup uptime marathon so I am testing devices)

If it is just the devices, it is likely the device json which somehow has changed.
Edit: nope that’s not it. It is within the web server then. likely the css…

Hi @rafale77,

The power switch devices (BinaryLight1, and I think DimableLight too) stopped showing the wattage. The PowerMeter sensors are fine. Note that the D_BinaryLight1.json never had anything to display the wattage, it is(was) some special display hack that would display the Watts value that they apparently took out in the final release. I noticed on the Android App yesterday, and just now on the web GUI. Not too happy with this change either. Well we still have ALTUI

Cheers Rene

[slelieveld]

Can’t ALTui not become the default UI

[ElCid]

no its

Yeah, I recalled after I posted, but didn’t want to be picky over one letter

If it’s a css thing, it can be easily fixed.
If I remember correctly, css are read-only, otherwise I think I’d provide an easy fix to apply.

EDIT: It’s not in the CSS, it’s probably on the HTML/Javascript side. I can confirm the value is not written at all (the html node is hidden).

[rafale77]

@Pitt13 is French like me and the French translated version we had is K2000. I even had to look up the name of the show English… Knightrider.

@slelieveld, I actually don’t think it is that crazy to want ALTUI to be the default UI. Likewise, ALTHUE should be the only Philips hue plugin since it is the only one fully functional. @Mai_Pensato, @phillid2… many reported problems with the mios plugins before.

[Ioana]

I’m back with news,

@Mai_Pensato

I updated my test Vera Plus. This went fast. First thing I notice now: Watt readings on wall plugs (both Fibaro and Greenwave) are not visible anymore in the UI. In Variables-Watts I can see the actual readings.
Can someone confirm this new bug ?

@ElCid

Yes all my power reading have disappeared

@rafale77

Interesting that this Wattage problem was not on beta 1.

@therealdb

I lost wattage as well

The team already fixed the issue, early next week we’ll publish an update with this hot fix.

Thank you once again for reporting this,
Ioana

[Catman]

Good engagement @Ioana . Well done

I want to upgrade my VeraPlus.

Latest Firmware 1.7.4453
New Firmware 1.7.4955

When I upgraded in the past, my VeraPlus crashed. (maybe a memory problem).
The solution was to go back to factory settings and then upgrade to the new firmware.

Now I want to perform a firmware upgrade to new firmware 1.7.4955. Is it better go back to factory settings and then perform an upgrade to firmware 1.7.4955 or is upgrade to firmware 1.7.4955 from factory settings not possible?

[Catman]

Should really be for a support rep to answer, but if you can ssh onto your Plus and check how much space you have, you’ll have a better idea.

C

[therealdb]

here’s the steps in case you are out of space:

• backup
• factory reset
• update the empty unit
• restore from backup

After this update, as @rafale77 already said, it should not be necessary anymore, since they changed the disk partition structure.

[Sammy2]

Since I’ve had on the last few updates had issues, one time requiring someone from Romania or was it the Ukraine to remote into my laptop and then ssh into my VeraPlus to bring it back to life. I think I’ll open a ticket, when I have spare time to be at home to babysit if need be to have Vera Support perform the update for me as they’ll probably end up having to figure out how to recover it afterwards anyhow.

[fje]

Well done! That’s fast…… Good job, thanks. Waiting for your news……

Thanks again
