Beta - Ezlo Linux firmware v.1.0.29 update for Vera Edge and Ezlo Plus controllers

We’re releasing a new update for Ezlo Linux firmware for Ezlo Plus and the Vera Edge (that runs Ezlo Linux). v. 1.0.29:

New Features:

  • Added support in firmware for HTTP request action block for scenes (the support in UI will come in the next mobile apps releases)

Improvements:

  • Improvements on the FW update process from Vera FW to the new Linux FW (handled cases with bad blocks on the controller)

Fixes:

  • Bug fixing on Z-Wave and Zigbee devices

Known issues:

  • Issue on devices that support Tamper where the broadcasts and notifications generated are opposite to the actual tamper state

  • Issue on Z-Wave devices with “electric_meter_amper” that is updated only when the hub is restarted. Ampere meter not changing value instantly once pairing a device supporting it (for example pairing a switch and adding some load to it - e.g. connect a bulb)

  • Issue with incorrect sunrise/sunset time for scene in case the timezone is changed after enrollment. The sunrise/sunset scenes are calculated based on location and for the moment we do not have UI support to change it after enrollment (API is in progress of being integrated in UI)

  • Issue with random Zigbee module crash and automatically restart when trying to change Zigbee dimmer value after the hub reboot

  • Issues with can not change color on Zwave RGB bulbs

  • Issue on Vera Edge where after the first update from Vera FW to the new Linux FW the “Internet” LED is OFF.

To get your controller updated to the latest version please do one of the following actions:

  • Power cycle your Vera Edge / Ezlo Plus controller or
  • Unplug the ethernet cable, wait for 10s, plug it back into the Vera Edge / Ezlo Plus controller.

@Ioana and @Oleh, since they don’t seem to be enumerated here, can you confirm what elements from the earlier discussion on needs for upcoming sprints actually made it into this July 16 update? This list seems a good bit thinner than I was hoping to see…

Hi @Ioana
Improvements on the FW update process from Vera FW to the new Linux FW (handled cases with bad blocks on the controller)

Are we going to be able to migrate VeraPlus to EzloPlus (in local or cloud mode)?

Hi @rigpapa

  • Unified logging module - first part of implementation is ready but need to finish the second part which is covering our new functionality.
  • Unified strategy for error handling - the status is pretty much the same, part of implementation is ready but need to finish the second part which is covering our new functionality.
    Preparing the documentation and will send it to you.
  • Relationships between objects or data - updating the documentation and will send it to you.

The big part of the next release which we are planning to do July 30th is HTTP server.
