Saving scene towards child device button saves only as last button

Plugins & Plugin Development Harmony Hub Control
1

I’m using 2.19 with Vera 3 UI5. I’m having some sort of glitch on the child devices. I have created multiple buttons on each of my child devices, for example “Vol Up”, “Vol Down”, “Mute”, in that order. If I attempt to save a scene that click “Vol Up” or “Vol Down” Vera ends up assigning it to “Mute”.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

This is one of the best plugins for Vera I have worked with!!

I have worked on over comming this issues for hours, here are the steps to reproduce:

Downloaded dkjson.lua.lzo from dkjson - dkjson
Uncompressed and copied dkjson.lua to /usr/lib/lua

Removed all Harmony Devices
Removed Harmony Plug-in
Removed all files that were created during Harmony Plug-in from /etc/cmh-ludl
Restored Vera backup from before Harmony Plug-in
Verified everything is running as expected on Vera 3 UI5
Verifed /usr/lib/lua/dkjson.lua still exists

Please Help! Really Appreciate the help and this plugin!!

I have attached the results of the log file for the Scene Creation with debug logging on

I figured out a workaround:

Instead of using the UI5 GUI, I created 3 scenes using LUUP:

luup.call_action(“urn:rboer-com:serviceId:HarmonyDevice1”, “SendDeviceCommand”, {Command = “Mute”}, 294)
luup.call_action(“urn:rboer-com:serviceId:HarmonyDevice1”, “SendDeviceCommand”, {Command = “VolumeUp”, Duration=1} ,294)
luup.call_action(“urn:rboer-com:serviceId:HarmonyDevice1”, “SendDeviceCommand”, {Command = “VolumeDown”, Duration=1} ,294)

Note: the command it the actual name in Harmony, not the button.

Hi jepjr,

I would have to fire up my old UI5 test box and see what is going on. I will let you know.
