Well... after some time with everything working well, I started to see some issues (turns out not related but I thought it was). I'd completely forgotten about this issue I had, and hadn't touched HS4 since. Anyway, while investigating these issues I spotted that my JowiHue plugin was out of date, so I updated it... and all hell broke loose!
Long story short, all JowiHue actions had disappeared from the events, so none of the switches around the house would operate any lights... Downgraded, upgraded, looked for beta, nothing worked... Reverted to a backup and now HS4 is running line a dog...
Turns out, I added a Hue Tap Dial in the Hue app recently (thought I'd try one). Haven't done anything with it, it's still on the table, but I've noticed I have thousands of instances of a device called Hue Tap Dial Switch 1:
How do I get rid of these, and start reconfiguring HS4 again? I've had to disable the JowiHue plugin temporarily to get CPU value down to a workable level.

Which version of the plugin are you running at this point?
Are you sure it was this version that starting the dail switch device creations or the older one? It looks like it is creating the device, but not the features. But looking at the device, I am having the impression this is not coming from the HS4 version of the plugin, but the HS3 version of the plugin?
I don't have the dial switch here to test, but if you are using the HS3 plugin version, I am afraid the plugin will not recognize the device correctly?

Ok. after a long period of radio silence I've had a chance to look at this again. After a restore, I was back up and running and I left it there... So...
You were exactly correct - plugin version was in fact 2.1.2.1 or something old like that. Upgraded plugin to latest version, and some hours later going through and fixing events, I'm back to where I should be (mostly).
I then reset the Tap Dial Switch, re-added it in the Hue App, and it works fine as configured in the Hue app. So far so good.
The issue I have now is, the Tap Dial Switch does not seem to appear in HS4. I've left it 24 hours just in case it takes some time... still nothing.
Do I have to do something different / extra to make HS4 / JowiHue see the switch? Got another two in their boxes ready to go...

Relative rotary devices have so far not been very successful in the plugin, causing a lot of issues. Most users I have seen using these dials have no use for it in the plugin itself so I have excluded it from the plugin. How do you see the use of the dial in the plugin? Is it worth the effort to get it in the plugin?
I would maybe need to buy one myself to see what it does really.

Hi Wim, thanks for the update, that explains it! Thought I was going mad, since the old version of the plugin seemed to add hundreds of instances, and the new version added none!
The limitation with the device for me is, using the Hue (or third party) app, it's only possible to make the unit (dial AND buttons) operate on one group of lights, on that particular Hue Hub. I was hoping to use Homeseer / JowiHue to allow control of different devices in different groups / rooms / hubs, from the buttons at least, in the same was as I could do with the standard Hue remote. I hadn't really considered the dial - what are the technical difficulties? Starting / ending values maybe?

The frequency of values coming from the rotary and the need of sending updates to the HS devices. In the case of a Hue hub they probably perform some sort of internal direct Zigbee call, without the need to convert these. So that is performant.
If I was to try and bring it in the plugin, there is no guarantee the effects will be smooth, especially not with the way the Philips Hue communicates (slow) to the REST API. An update is send at its best only one time per second. In a second you can have rotated the dial in several directions..... and only one wil reach the plugin because of the slowness. That is why I doubt it will work like you expect.

You an still use them, but bound through the Hue app... there are more users of the plugin using this device and it functions fine once setup in the app :-)-- Wim
