Unless my experience is unique, I find the process of updating plugins fraught with issues.
Today I updated 5 plugins. One went smoothly and four did not. I recognize that plugins are controlled by the original developers - but one of the plugins was a native homeseer plugin. Here was my experience:
1 updated fine - didn't need to shut it down beforehand.
2 failed during the update process. So I had to run the updates one by one by disabling the plugin, running the update then enabling the plugin.
1 failed, so I disabled the plugin, but then the option to update it disappeared. Refreshing the page didn't do anything so I eventually restarted Homeseer, was able to click on the update link, then shut the plugin down, run the update and enable it.
Twice during this process the Update Listing section showed the same update twice, when I tried to remove one it removed both.
Once, after shutting down the plugin, updating it, the plugin disappeared from my list of installed plugins - a restart of Homeseer was required for it to be recognized again.
And when running the Z-wave update, instead of showing an error message in the log, a pop-up window appeared on the Homeseer application on my server indicating that a file was in use.
Through various combinations of shutting down plugins, downloading files manually, restarting several times, I was able to get all plugins up to date.
It would seem that some attention should be given to this to allow this process to run more smoothly?
