Zee S2 Crashing

There have been reported issues with HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.425. Many folks have downgraded to HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.424. There is also now HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.427 posted.
Here I was running HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.425 for a couple of weeks with no issues (no crashes) and upgraded to HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.427.
I am also utilizing Omni Plugin V3.0.2.8 here. Using ZWave 3.0.1.210 here.- Pete

Still no joy. Support is suggesting that it could be an anti-virus or firewall. Insofar as this is a Zee unit, I'm not sure how the anti-virus/firewall running on another computer on my network could interfere with the Zee. Any thoughts?
My router (a TP-Link) does have a built-in firewall. Could that be causing it? Again, I'm not sure that I believe it because I've not changed the configuration of the router and the Zee was working fine until a week ago.
Tonight I will try running the Zee with the Omni PI disabled and see if that has anything to do with it. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll turn off any computer running anti-virus and separately turn off the router's firewall.

On Windows yes. On the RPi no.

no.
Disable all of your plugins.
Update your Zee to current release version 4.28.
Reboot your RPi then see if it starts OK.
Then enable your PI's and see if they run.- Pete

Are you familiar with using SSH to your new Zee2?
Is your RPi wired or wireless.
If wireless please connect it via an Ethernet cable to any switch you have around.
1 - shut down Homeseer 3 via the GUI.
2 - ssh to your RPi
3 - back up the Homeseer directory.
a - ssh to your RPi (Zee2)
b - type cd /
c - type sudo mkdir homeseer-backup
d - type sudo cp -a /usr/local/HomeSeer/. /homeseer-backup/HomeSeer-BU04182018
e - it will take maybe a minute to backup the HomeSeer directory.
4 - updating your Homeseer build
a - ssh to your RPi
b - cd /usr/local/HomeSeer
c - type sudo ./updatehs.sh 428
d - this will update your Zee2 HS3 to current version V.428.
e - type reboot
f - go to HS3 web gui and validate that you are running V.428Last edited by Pete; April 18, 2018, 07:38 PM.- Pete

Thanks, Pete.
Since I had my keyboard and monitor attached to the Zee, I just did this all directly. BTW: For anyone else doing this, note that there is a space in the middle between the "HomeSeer/." and the "/homeseer-backup" . I should have seen it right away because of the syntax, but I'm not a big Linux user.
Anyway, Pete's update procedure worked a treat. I'm running .428. (Weirdly enough, the Setup tab tells me an update is available to .425.
I'll now add back my PI's and see what happens.
BTW: Does anybody know if there is a limit to the number of devices a Zee can controll reliably?
***UPDATE*** Unfortunately, about 30 minutes after loading the OMNI PI, HS3 crashed with the same message: "Error sending over stream: Unable to write date to the transport connection: The socket has been shut down." It then tries to restart HS3 but doesn't manage.Last edited by SHPHomeSeer; April 18, 2018, 09:06 PM.

Sorry to hear about your Zee2 crashing. Not totally sure that it would be a plugin causing the crash.
Try this next ....
SSH to the Zee2
What size SD card are you using?
Type
df -l or df -H
Here is what you will see.
Code:Pine64:~# df -l Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 30903180 12010996 17596384 41% / devtmpfs 815492 0 815492 0% /dev tmpfs 1018176 24 1018152 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1018176 9044 1009132 1% /run tmpfs 5120 4 5116 1% /run/lock tmpfs 1018176 0 1018176 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk0p1 102182 23280 78902 23% /boot tmpfs 203636 0 203636 0% /run/user/0
to check how much space is left on the SD card.
copy and paste your stuff here.
Above it shows I am using 41% of my primary partition.
Next type:
lsb_release -a
copy and paste your stuff here

Here's what I get. I didn't even realize there was an SD card (it's not visible as you know.) But does this mean it's 8GB?

You are fine with Jessie / SD card memory.
Not sure what Mono Version you are running.
Earlier versions of the Zee had a compiled and built Mono on them which made it difficult to upgrade. Not sure though if this will fix your issues.
I am reading about issues relating to the upgrades in the Linux versions of Homeseer 3.
Ideally you want to remove and upgrade Mono to current release and I am not sure if you can do that with your Zee.
You should be fine with running Jessie current release of the Zee OS.
BTW here running HS3 Lite headless and only access it via SSH. Much easier for me to access it from wherever.
You should though configure you RPi such that it utilizes minimum amount of memory to do video as you do not need a directly connected console to manage the RPi.
Do this by running :
sudo raspi-config via ssh.
Configure your GPU to 16.
[ATTACH]68319[/ATTACH]
That said yesterday here updated my current HS3 Lite computer to V.431.
I personally have not had issues running HS3 Lite V.425 to V.431.
This morning noticed V.434 was released and I am reading about Ubuntu issues with V.434.
Historically there have been minimal or no issues running Homeseer 3 on Linux.
You should not be having any issues running current release of the ZWave and or Omni PI.
Here are some numbers relating to running HS3 Lite and V.431.
I am using HTOP...install it by doing the following:
1 - sudo apt-get update
2 - sudo apt-get install htop
When running htop edit display options (F2) as shown. Then save them with F10 (quit)
Reload htop then ....
[ATTACH]68317[/ATTACH]
When viewing do a filter (F4) for hs to display Homeseer stuff.
[ATTACH]68318[/ATTACH]
This will show just Homeseer 3 / mono / plugins.
[ATTACH]68316[/ATTACH]
I am curious what numbers you see when running the Zee with mentioned version of HS3 before it crashes.
Note too here I am running Homeseer 3 on a Pine64 ARM based 2Gb RAM computer and Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit server which is a bit different than the Raspberian builds (all 32 bit and 1Gb of RAM). Linux is Linux is Linux and Homeseer 3 runs on any Linux OS with Mono (from the get go).Last edited by Pete; April 20, 2018, 07:38 AM.- Pete

Yeah I have not seen any hardware issues with any of my RPi's.
Not sure if you have a Zee2 with an internal ZWave GPIO card or USB stick.
I have seen the internal GPIO cards come loosey goosey here moving around the RPi. (hitting it with a hammer, throwing it across a room - just kidding).
(here utilize the GPIO card and an RTC shim underneath it).
Thinking that HST should be upgrading the Zee2 image to utilizing Stretch and most current version of Mono and current release of HS3 Lite and now the hardware for the Zee2 to the RPi3 B+.Last edited by Pete; April 20, 2018, 11:59 AM.- Pete

Here running the Omni Pro PI on the HS3 Pro and the HS3 Lite box (Zee2 OS)
The Leviton HAI OP2 panel is connected to X10, UPB, ZWave and Zigbee. I am using all of the serial ports though on the OP2 today. (for tinkering mostly).
I am splitting up the functions of the plugin between the two instances a bit.
I believe today Rob (author of the Omni Plugin) is running the Omni Plugin / ZWave plugins and other PI's on the RPi (or equivalent) now since the beginning of the plugin.
The Zee2 allows for up to 5 plugins which doesn't include using it with the Amazon Alexa (built in) or Homeseer Touch (built in) or as many scripts as you want (built in).
Making the RPi 2-3 work hard can slow things down. It is related though to number of plugins, events, variables and scripts.
I read somewhere that while it is not apples to apples the RPi 2-3 similiar in speed to an Intel Core Duo with 1Gb of RAM.
Here in to tinkering with hardware such that I purchased a similar to but not the same as an RPi computer called the Pine64 a couple of years back.
Other HS3 users are using other computers similar to the RPi for certain features (like the Odroid). The Pine64 is one of the first ARM based computers with more than 1Gb of RAM. Newest Rock64 computer can be purchased with 4Gb of RAM and an OS running on an optional eMMC chip which personally is a bit better than an SD card.
Based on what you have written about your Zee S2 you should not have any issues running your 2-3 plugins.- Pete
