Stuck on "Waiting Initial Data"

Plugins & Plugin Development Alternate UI
#1

Hello,

For a long time, AltUI has been working fine on my system (Vera Plus on FW 1.7.4970). But for about two weeks, it’s not loading anymore (stuck on “Waiting Initial Data”).
According to the control panel of the device, I’m on version v2.03.

I’ve tried

  • Uninstall/reinstall AltUI (from the “regular” Vera interface)
  • Using the “default configuration” button within the settings

…but it’s still stuck.
Any idea about how to restore a proper behavior?

Hi Gabriel,

In the ALTUI variables look for ControlTimeout and increase it’s value. I suspect that will help.

Cheers Rene

altui version ?
did you change / add devices 2 weeks ago ?
are you using it locally or remotely ?
can you check the javascript console logs ( ctrl +J in chrome ) messages and share them ?

The questions brought by amg0 have led to a “resolution”/workaround of the issue :slight_smile: (ie: change browser)

First, the answers (in case that could be of help to anyone):

  • AltUI version 2.03.2245, used locally
  • No device/change intentionally done 2 weeks ago…but…some of my blinds decided to open themselves during the night. Maybe something strange happened…
  • I am using Firefox (77.0.1). When firing up Chrome in order to check the javascript console logs, I’ve noticed that AltUI is loading fine under chrome.

→ it looks to be related to the browser.

Using chrome enabled AltUI to update itself to 2546. → same situation

The Javascript console log (Chrome) shows the following message:
A cookie associated with a cross-site resource at http://www.google.com/ was set without the SameSiteattribute. A future release of Chrome will only deliver cookies with cross-site requests if they are set withSameSite=NoneandSecure.

Edit:
Here are the console logs from Firefox:

understood.
yes I am now focusing on browsers that I can test.
i.e safari , chrome, edge chromium version

yet it is strange that jquery.min would not load. is Firefox using any special things( cache ?)

As suggested by reneboer, I’ve increased the ControlTimeout value (to 60000).

It seems to solve the jquery loading error (which is puzzling me, as I’m assuming that my 100Mbps connection is fast enough), but there are still issues:
