#21

up to VeraPlus: 1.7.4001. this may have fixed my “16 alerts for 1 event” issue the started after the last update.

#22

As previously reported, latest firmware upgrade once again resets manual network settings to ?Automatic? and turns Wifi radio back on. Also required power cycle after waiting 30 mins.

Reported here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,81524.msg395120.html#msg395120

it did not enable wifi for me

Prior to my upgrade I was getting “Luup : Downloading Luup Plugins” messages. This started at the same time as the Firmware notifications, so I thought they were related. I took all my normal backups and clicked Upgrade. When the upgrade to 7.0.27.4001 on my VeraPlus completed, I was still getting those errors, plus a new one that my EventWatcher Startup Lua Failed. After cruising the forums I realized that my EventWatcher is REALLY old. So I removed it/uninstalled it and now I am getting even more Startup Lua Failures along with a system failure about EventWatcher. “System error : Device: 329. Fail to load implementation file D_EventWatcher.xml” Device 329 was an attempt to reinstall EventWatcher.

All this leads me to two questions.

  1. How can I remove device 329 from the LUA startup?
  2. I am getting System Errors trying to save scenes. The last time this happened I was out of storage. What can I safely clear up to free up a little room? I cannot even enable remote support.

I had the same issues with every update since since about May…I have the DataMine 2 Plugin installed and it uses just enough space to fill it up. This is how I solved my issue: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,81524.msg386059.html#msg386059

Hope this helps.

#26

Hmm. I do have that plugin too. But since I mounted a USB drive and stored all the logs there I didn’t think that much room was being used.

#27

Updated 1x Plus and 2x Edge with simple setups:

All took first time and the two Veras with most use report no Vera or luup reboots/restarts since installed 4 days ago (per SysMon). Encouraging, rarely would it run for 2 days.

#28

I have the same setup with data being logged to a USB, however the plugin itself takes up 2.4mb which is quite large considering the partition is only about 8.6mb or so if I remember correctly. That is about 28% of the partition just for this one plugin. My guess is that anyone who has this plugin installed is having a similar problem.

If storage space continues to be a problem, I am considering moving the rootfs of the vera to an external USB SSD.

Not for the faint of heart but could be the solution.

#30

The right solution is for Vera to NOT release the OS every time …
They need to break their current installation into:
a) An OS piece
b) A Vera piece
Then they olnly need enough space for the Vera Stuff with each release …
Then they can release an OS independent of the Vera Stuff and visa-versa.
Note: There is already a
c) User/Controller specific piece that is supposed to survive an update

#31

I thought I removed my Datamine app, but my Vera is sideways right now and a different app uninstalled. I removed the datamine this morning, and ran the following commands from support, and now my Overlay partition is 54% used.

[code]rm -r /overlay/etc/cmh/ergy*

rm -rf /overlay/etc/cmh-firmware/mios*

reboot[/code]

#32

Firmware process update…

My device app errors “GCal3 Holidays[224] : Startup Lua Failed” “Harmony[227] : Startup Lua Failed” “MultiSwitch[229] : Startup Lua Failed” were resolved when I uninstalled those apps. Now my Vera engine reloads without these errors, but I am getting the following error. Any idea what this is and how to resolve it?

Luup : Downloading Luup Plugins Luup : Downloading Luup Plugins Luup : Downloading Luup Plugins Luup : Failed to download all plugins. Will retry in 10 minutes.

#33

Why can?t Vera just create a beefier device that has more storage and memory ? It seems the majority of issues happen due to capacity issues.

The last device from Vera, the Secure, was actually released more than 1.5 years ago and that was not a high spec device either and UI 7 is now almost 4 years old as well.

I looks like my Netatmo plugin is the culprit of the Downloading Luup Plugins messages. Everytime my engine reloads, I see the attached image…

So im having exactly the same issue, also related to the netatmo app, have you found any solution?

#36

Customer Care can easily sort out any storage issues. Contact details in my signature.
I strongly advise to let them do this for you. It’s faster and safer.

#37

So what is exactly not working for the Fibaro FGS223 (2*1.5kW rated switch) ? I use several of them but and they seem to switch fine.

It took a couple of uninstalls and reinstall to get it right again. And a few engine reloads for the Netatmo plugin to download everything it needed.
Ultimately I ended up deleting 4 of my installed plugins, one being Datamine. Once I did this it freed up a fair amount of space. I have since reinstalled 2 plugins and keep going back and forth on if I need the other 2.

They must be too busy to sort mine out. I had Customer Care do the upgrade to make sure it went smoothly and I still have issues. Devices falling off the network, plugins no longer working, just general instability. I have emails to Customer Care to sort it but it takes days for them to get back to me and when they do, nothing really gets any better.

It is a pretty sad state with the Vera at this point. I have more devices to add and want to control more lights with it but at this point , I don’t trust it.

#40

I would probably call them and work directly with them over the phone.
I hear you about stability though. I was getting plugin errors in my notification banner at the top. I removed four of them until things were stable and the errors went away.

  • Netatmo
  • Harmony
  • MultiSwitch
  • EventWatcher
    I also deleted DataMine, which cleared up a lot of space for me. I have not put DataMine or Eventwatcher back in yet as I’m trying to figure out if I really need them. If you are needing space, there is a previous post by me that states two directories you can delete. These came from support and cleared a little room for me. DataMine cleared another ~25%. A reboot is needed after you clear these two directories though.

Good luck.
