Hi,
Its been some time since I took the code from its original fantastic author Mike, but I now have an updated SceneMaster (calling it v1.3) ready for testing. This version is designed to be a seamless upgrade from 1.2 however, I would like to first ask those that are comfortable backing up and restoring their systems to test. Please backup your configuration before installing. A restore from backup should not be required, but I do not want to push a large update to everyone before a few other people have tested the changes with me (so the backup is a just in case, but certainly rather have it than not).
The updater_override.txt file is located at http://download.casapiedrasoftware.i...r_override.txt
Simply put this file into your HomeSeer directory and update your plugin list, you should see the CasaPiedra test section and see 1.3 available. No need to pre-copy the zip file local, this will grab it from my website automatically
Things to test:
1) Basic functionality. Many under the cover changes for reliability and speed, all existing functionality should be working as before, but please verify.
2) Ability to set a scene member to 'No Change' if you want to ignore a specific device for a scene change.
3) UI filters. Putting text into the UI filter will limit the Scene and Trigger lists to just devices that contain that text. I found with thousands of devices the lists were very hard to manage, this should let you quickly target those dropdowns to devices you care about.
4) Triggers. Triggers are simply the ability to assign a device and its state (such as ON) so that you can logically step through the various profiles. e.g. you can setup a Insteon button so when pushed it automatically goes to the 'next profile' for the scene. I use this extensively in rooms where different profiles are really different Hue and WifiBulb color and brightness changes. e.g. cycle between daylight scene, evening scene, night scene manually when desired
5) General UI responsiveness. I worked hard so that as much of the data is possible is cached. Switching between scenes should be faster (still needs to generate the page one time) but switching between already visited scenes/profiles should be very quick now.
6) Wider device support, things like locks should now be controllable.
Please remember this is a test version, I will do everything I can to help fix any issues, but if you are not comfortable with beta software please wait until we shake out any issues and publish the release version.
Please create a new thread here in this forum for any issues, so I can track them independently.
Thank you!
