I’ve raised everything you posted here to the technical team to be included in the scope for the 7.32 release.
If there are other minor items that were reported/requested and are not yet solved please ping me (PM or in this post) to make sure I’ll bring them into discussion.
I am following this thread and to be honest I have a serious doubt about when to do the upgrade.
Should I wait for the hotfix that is expected for thus week or the following one?
Should I wait for a future 7.0.32 that we don’t know what time plan has?
Whatever you answer, please, consider that many of us are real end-user, whit maybe some technical knowledges, but we are not Linux, either VERA firmware technicians.
However I have not even updated to this new Vera firmware. My Vera Plus is still on version 1.7.4453 (7.29).
I couldn’t control my lamps in my living room and I noticed that the Philips Hue plugin v1.76 (not the AltHue one) in the UI7 was turned Off. I turned it back on.
Hue Scenes still work OK from Vera UI7 using the Hue plugin, however the actual Hue bulbs have all vanished from the UI7.
My Hue bridge is now on version 1937045000 and shows that it updated today, despite the fact in the Hue mobile app I had turned off auto updates in the settings.
Looking on the Philips Hue release notes webpage version 1937045000 was released by them today.
The prior version of the Hue bridge was version 1935144040 and everything was working OK on that version since January when that version was released by Philips.
So I’d say this Philips Hue problem is not related to the 7.3.1 Vera firmware update ?
So what the hell is going on and how do I fix it ?
Thanks
EDIT:
I have a 3rd party Zigbee ZLL LED strip controller a Dresden fls-pp lp and that is still showing in the UI7 and controllable. Its the genuine Hue bulbs that have vanished.
I don’t need the advanced features of the ALTHue plugin but I understand that it may fix this issue.
However I would really like my Hue bulbs back with the same device ID’s in Vera as I have lots of scenes / PLEG logic and Imperihome apps all looking for those particular device IDs etc.
I don’t understand why you think it is anything advanced. It is a direct replacement, better written, cleaner and simpler than the mios one. It is even smaller in size I believe. You may be confusing with ALTUI both courtesy of @amg0.
That may well be the case but it doesn’t solve my current issue with the missing bulbs unless I want to reconfigure everything else to point to new device IDs.
And by advanced I meant stuff like Hue motion sensors and Ikea stuff.
You don’t have to. You can install the plugin. The device will configure themselves, change their IDs and you are done…
The original 2 hue plugins on the vera were a hot mess. I looked at the code and the rule followed appeared to be “Why make it simple when we can make it complicated?”
