For me it is a matter of lag for my automation scenes…
When I come home I have about 20+ zwave and zigbee commands which runs on top of disarming sensors, I have lights, vents etc. When this scene runs and I trip a motion sensor, I normally see a lag of 2-3s before I get a TTS annoucement when I don’t have these heavy scenes running and I get 5-20s lag with these scenes running. I eliminated the 2-3s making it 0s by making the vera send updates to openLuup instead of waiting for openLuup to poll. (did this a long time ago) but was left with the large variable lag. Since the update… I have had none. Pretty stunning. I am speculating that there is a command queue built into the serial interface package which was not working before or was not used adequately and that it is now fixed.
@zedrally. Yes it can be done. Pretty easily. I am just used to want to see the returned output of these commands through SSH. In particular checking if the repo is already in the opkg config file. If you already upgraded to 7.0.29 I suspect that you should already have that repo so the commands should be:
OS.execute(“opkg update”)
OS.execute(“opkg upgrade zwaveserial”)
