@sjenkinsJust did an update but version number is still showing 0.1.6 in PG3. Been using your plugin in programs for the past few days with no problems

[sjenkins]

@GTench  updated properly now ; had this happen once before,  the production updated on mine then reverted back in my developer screen.  thanks for the heads up.

[GTench]

@sjenkinsDid an update but still showed 0.1.6 in PG3. Tried a restart but still showed o.1.6. Also got a popup error in PG3 saying "Error fetching from gateway". Another thing was that programs stopped working but AC direct commands still worked. I tried just running the "run then" command but that did not work either. I needed to go into each program, select a line and slick update (did not change anything) then clicked save changes. After that the "run then" command worked

I had some really odd stuff happen.  Had to resave my developer upload to get the 0.1.7 to stick three times.

Just redid it this morning so you may want to try again.

The resaving of programs I have heard of before but only with other plugins.

 

[GTench]

@sjenkinsDo I need to do a  reinstall? I don't see an update button in PG3

[sjenkins]

either delete and reinstall or if you goto the plugins production store you can manually update there.

 

[GTench]

@sjenkinsOK did a reinstall from the store. The store and your change log there show 0.1.6 and PG3 still shows 0.1.6 after the reinstall from the store

[sjenkins]

wow ; went to mine & it showed 0.1.7

did a refresh of the store and it reverted to 0.1.6

let me do a new push to my GitHub and see if it sticks... if not I'll have to put a ticket in.

 

[sjenkins]

ok I went to 0.1.8 and it seems to be sticking ; so weird

 

[GTench]

@sjenkinsNo luck for me. Store still shows 0.1.6 2024-03-31 even after a refresh. Don't see an update button in PG3 either

[sjenkins]

ok , so did something kind of severe...

I have been wanting to change the name to HunterDouglas since about the beginning to match the naming convention and make the plugin easier to find.

so I deleted the old one (still shows in list but no install option)

Shows in the store further up the list as HunterDouglas and version 0.1.8

Works on mine but if this doesn't work I don't know any more nuclear option.

 

[GTench]

@sjenkins I only see 1 entry for HunterDouglas and that is the original one near the bottom of the list. Dis you change the name on the new entry?

[sjenkins]

Can you refresh your store?

[GTench]

Did a refresh and see 0.1.8 in the original position but I don't see the entry further up. I will try the update on the 0.1.8 entry that I see

[GTench]

@sjenkinsOK that worked. I see 0.1.8 as installed on PG3.

Just curious if you know why most plugins show up sorted alphabetically except for the last 7. If I try to resort by clicking on name it does not correct this.

[sjenkins]

So 10min after I made my change it changed the name back on mine too.

Go figure.

This is why I wanted to change the name of mine from 

hunterdouglas

to

HunterDouglas

the lower case gets sorted to the end

I will ask the Discord development guys on how best to change it.

btw: :  Sorry if by doing this I messed up your programs

(this was more frustrating than any issue so far, arrrrg)

[GTench]

Ah ok thanks, That makes sense. No problem with programs. If I remember correctly I had similar update and program issues with the Yolink plugin in the early stages. Just part of the learning curve

[sjenkins]

So, to the meat of it:

The plugin should change based on what you modify in the PowerView app names in addition to adding/deleting shades or scenes.  I added this after cleaning up mine a bit & realising I wanted it.

We are getting 10 more shades in the next month or so.  Most of them will have secondary axis as most are double rollers.  One also has the header move up/down.  Should be able to test some new types.

[GTench]

Nice... Might get more in the future too but if so I assume they would be G3. Will you plugin work with a mixture of G2 and G3 hubs?

[sjenkins]

@GTench Not currently as it makes that choice at the start. Would require some rewrite, and a tester (hint hint). No reason it can’t be done, I just don’t know how the gateways operate together or are talked to separately. Might make more sense just to run two instances of the plugin.  There isn’t any other cross talk between blinds. You could make your own scenes in the ISY. I’d be interested how their app handles it.

@sjenkinsOK thanks. Don't have any immediate plans for more but will let you know when I do. Your idea about installing a second instance seems like the best approach
