Anyone running MeiHarmonyHub 3.0.3.10 on HS version .435?

[sirmeili]

I have some users who are having the plugin crash on newer versions of HomeSeer. I put .435 on my dev machine and in fact got it to crash, but I haven't figured out why yet.

Is anyone running the newest version of HS and having crashing issues with this plugin?

Is anyone running the newest version of HS and having crashing issues with this plugin?

I'm running plug-in 3.0.3.10 under 3.0.0.435. It is not crashing, but bursts of errors that I haven't had time to study. It seems to be working fine other than one hub disconnected on 5/4/18 and I didn't notice until a couple of days later. It did not try to reconnect as far as I can tell. I have three hubs, the errors definitely occur for two of them, possibly all three.

Errors:

Some connection failures I would expect with the nature of the hub being on wifi (which I find horribly unreliable compared to wired connections). One hiccup in your wifi and it could cause the hub to think it's disconnected. I haven't tried removing the heartbeat to see if the plugin would stay connected or not. Even their phone app incorporates a heartbeat.

The errors above make me think think at the time of the connection, the hub just isn't responding (wifi down or the hub is just responding slowly).

Here at the house on my prod machine, I checked my logs back to 5/4 and I've only had 1 failure since and it reconnected successfully. I'm not saying there isn't a bug where it doesn't reconnect sometimes as i think there may be, but I'm still tracking that one down as it's incredibly hard to reproduce.

I noticed in one of my tests on .435 that it seems to have failed about 24 hours later. I'm wondering if the crash is happening if the plugin tries to update the devices and activities while not connected. That might explain the crash. Either way I have added more debugging around the connect code to try and figure it out. Hopefully this is limited in scope and I'll have a solution for those infected soon.

I edited the subject of this post to fix the version number. I was thinking the newest version was 3.0.3.9 and it is in fact 3.0.3.10.

Yes, when harmony hub plugin is running windows throws an exception error after a very short time saying to shutdown plugin. It also affects the operation of homeseer .435 software. Very unstable. I have shut down other plugins and still same problem. This isn't an intermittent thing. It happens everytime I turn the plugin on. I never have seen the plugin reconnect automatically after a disconnect. Phone app is reliable with hub over wifi. Don't see any way to connect the hub directly to internet.
