Upgrade issue: "please install previous version"

[LivItWell]

Jowihue was working without known issues. I just updated the plugin and now it shows up only in the list of “Installed” plug-ins, but disappeared from the Plug-ins drop-down menu.

I am running HS4 Pro Edition 4.1.9.0 (Windows). My HS controller was upgraded from HS3 a long time ago.

The log file shows errors, provided below. The install appears to detect that I am running below HS4 v4.1.17.

I’m unsure how to install the previous version found in the ..\Updates4 folder. Can someone tell me how?

Also, any recommendations to install latest released version?

Upgrading HS4 to 4.2.x.x seems like a more logical solution...

Like the message and Steff tells you, you need to upgrade HS4 to use this version of the plugin to anything higher then HS 4.1.17 (HS 4.1.9 is lower...). You are running a quite old version of HS4 here, a lot has been improving since then. If you install the newer HS4 version, the plugin wil start running again too, no other updates needed.
If you go to the homeseer website you will find a download link for the latest version. From then on you can check the settings pages for a check for newer versions or beta's.

Thanks,

Wim

A momentary lapse in reason. 🤣 This underscores why I'm already taking a sanity day off from work today. 🤪
