jackal Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I am one of those using the ha-bridge with Raspberry Pi without the use of the ISY portal to connect to Echo. see original forum here Well, the SD card finally died after running flawlessly all these years. I bought a new card, installed the latest pi OS and loaded the latest release from ha-bridge. To my surprise, ha-bridge is still very well supported and updated. (v5.3.0) I followed the installation instructions and copied my device.db into the /data folder. Done! This is an update for all those that are still on this system. Tip: You might want to store a backup copy of the device.db file. It seems AWS configurator by Barry Gordon doesn't work with the latest ha-bridge version. (You can obviously load an old version of ha-bridge to run) It will save you a lot of time. Good luck! 1
blueman2 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I am one of those people still using RPi and ha-bridge as well. I had moved to their latest version (5.3.0) but ended up having to go back to an earlier version (3.5.1) due to changes in how dimming works in newer ha-bridge versions. Also, with v3.5.1 of ha-bridge, I can still use @barrygordon's AWS Configuration System tool to configure devices, programs, scenes, and variables more easily. For the AWS tool, I use 6.0.3, which is the last version Barry created. Screen shot below: Edited January 6, 2020 by blueman2
jackal Posted January 6, 2020 Author Posted January 6, 2020 @blueman2 Thanks for stating the ha-bridge version that AWS Conguration 6.03 system is compatible with. Will be useful when I added new devices in future! Even better if @barrygordon would update it in future! But very happy with this solution thus far!
