URGENT HELP ! OH **** PLEG just died

Hi Richard

I’ve power cycled my Vera Edge twice running the 9.1 version and it doesn’t fix it.

Still get “Error Reading Data” and nothing loads in the PLEG device.

Cheers.

Just to confirm, this worked for me. I had to disconnect the internet connection to stop it updating before I got in to turn off autoupdate. Now back on 8.23 and 8.11 and all good.
Need to complete my switchover to OpenHab as never have these kind of issues there…

To be fair PLEG has run for donkey’s years without issues. Looks like some corruption in the new plugin files possibly.

Yeah same for me, three years without an issue with PLEGs and I have lots of them… Is it better to disconnect internet before restore of Vera or will I be able to turn off auto update after restore before it updates itself?

@RichardTSchaefer I have also power cycled and PLEG still not works…

You can’t unplug the ethernet cable before doing the restore if you are downloading a backup file from the Vera cloud.

Just do the restore and then as soon as its back quickly uncheck the auto update boxes on the PLEG apps. That’s what I did.

Or do the restore let it complete and then pull the ethernet cable.

Or from the " Your System Backup Log" area download the backup file locally.

Then unplug the cable then restore it from that locally downloaded backup file LOL.

Over 10 years for me !

Once your up and running again, I recommend you all backup your PLEGs just to be on the safe side.

Give it a name and hit the button, it will dowdload a .json PLEG backup file.

I did make a mistake in releasing the code.

I updated the wrong file in the installation kit … Vera broke Install testing with UI7 … so I can’t test until it’s released. I will fix.

Thanks Richard for looking in to this quickly !

Is there a change log? What’s new in version 9.1 ?

Cheers

Thanks Richard!

Well I’m relieved to find out it’s a known issue - being without PLEG is like returning to the stone age.

I’d need a fix soon. Thank you.

OMG, yes I just wanted to open my doors and nothing worked… PLEG says:

Is that this issue?

Yes that’s the issue.

Well, this was a good test of my alerts if my boiler fires/TRVs don’t reach setpoint in a specified time :slight_smile:

I only found this post after my second backup restore and I happened to notice Vera unexpectedly making a plugin download.
Good test of emergency backup rollback resilience too.

After 12h running on the restore and disabling the plugin update, nothing weird appears to be happening.

At least the “Error Loading Data” error pretty quickly points out where the issue is.

Is there any way to speed up the process for a solution?

EDIT: I cannot even “disarm” the non-functional PLEG to transfer the logic away to home assistant…

Restore a backup from the 27th of October, check the app versions are then these:

Program Logic Core (PLC) = 8.23
Program Logic Event Generator (PLEG) = 8.11

Uncheck auto update on both those PLEG apps.

We are waiting for Richard / Vera to publish a fix for the 9.1 version that rolled out.

Thank you, that would be my question… how long would that fix take to be populated?

(I prefer not to hassle with backups: bad experience).

VERA?

That I don’t know.

Vera support are aware and Richard the PLEG developer is aware of the problem and looking in to a fix.

For those that cannot, will not use backups, is there a repository anywhere of the other versions of the plugin files that can just be uploaded to replace the faulty version?

I did look before restoring myself, but didn’t find them.

If anyone knows exactly which files are required, then anyone with working system could pull them.
