Hi
Am I the only one suffering this.

Every now and then , probably after boot, Vera chance the % signs in various lua Codes in scenes and in startup lua. For example my house was cold this morming because vera did not understand it is weekend today due to this error
…
local dNow = os.date(“%A”) → local dNow = os.date(“/”)
…

This is an other example 2-3 weeks ago

local tms = string.format(“.%03d “,math.floor (1000 * (time % 1)))
local stamp = os.date(”%d %b %Y %T”,math.floor(time)) … tms
→
local tms = string.format(“.d “,math.floor (1000 * (time u1)))
local stamp = os.date(” s v”,math.floor(time)) … tms

I am running Vera Plus and Firmware version: 1.7.2138

This is getting very frustrating. Can I do something, eaven an workarround will do?

Use the new Beta (7.19) and RE-Enter your LUA code.

Had the same thing, all % signs and + signs got replaced by random characters. Only solution is to re-enter or fix your code. Hope you have a good backup of your code!

It is a known bug on all the FW after 7.0.13 until it got partially fixed on 7.0.19
Non ASCII characters get corrupted when saving the scene.
You will have to upgrade firmware and re-edit all your scenes. Or if you have a good back up, recover it.
