Hi guys,

I’ll bring this up and see what I can do.

@Sorin, I can completely understand why disabling the firmware update prompt would be undesirable, and in fact, I myself would not advocate for that. It would be useful, though, if the message could be hushed for a period of time, like a week, so we just don’t have to keep fighting with it. I think most people object to the constant irritation of being interrupted, not the simple act of being occasionally reminded that something new is available. My 2p

@sorin i have a new ZW132 from Aeotec. The switch works fine, but the parent switch constantly shows Cant Detect Device. The two child devices for each switch are working fine.

I figured out a workaround by accident. I normally link directly to the vera, but in this case, going through the proxy and authenticating causes the bogus upgrade notification to appear only once during that session. Ugh.

Best way to diagnose this, is through our support team. Please hit the “Need help” button up top.

I tried to disable nightly heal on Vera Plus / 7.0.30 using the provided lua command on Test Luup code window. After that I manually changed neighbors setting for a particular device (advanced - variables).

Now I noticed that these changes had vanished for the device?? Is there some configuration file on Vera that I could check by ssh’ing into the box, to make sure nightly heal is indeed still disabled?

The best way to check whether it was disabled is by looking at the log and, at exactly 2am, see if it starts the nightly heal.

If you are looking for the variable, one way is to use altui and look at the controller table. If not you can run a luup.attr_get command. I can send you the exact command later.

Here is one bug I found. Not very severe, but reporting it anyways.

When checking from Windows network all visible devices, Vera can be found but it seems all information is outdated. For example links point to old micasaverde site, device web page returns 404 etc. Attached screenshot (personal info hidden by yellow boxes). Running Vera Edge with 7.0.30

Thanks you for the report.

try turning off UPnP

Im on 7.0.30, hade been running perfect since update but today my unit it offline and Internet and Service light is blinking, bluetooth is black and power is solid yellow …

What can i do?!

It is all in this very thread. It’s what I called the Xmas light mode. Start reading from here:

and downwards.

I worked with Vera engineering on this issue. What we ultimately found is that having wifi disabled was related, and re-enabling it was a viable workaround. You don’t need to use the wifi network for anything, it just needs to be on, and enabling just one of the two bands is enough.

Or update to 7.31. There’s a separate topic for that release with links to firmware.

But how can I do that when I’m unable to access the Vera?

You’ve power cycled it?

I think there supposed to be a chant and addition of “eye of newt” to some potion to make this work really well? Possibly “abracadabra” too??
