2.2.8.133 Bundles for Apps/Drivers

Haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, but in addition to the Libraries I see that we now have the option to create App/Driver/LIbrary (ADL) bundles. Nice feature: It asks for the order of installation. Source to create new bundles appears to be limited to ADLs that are already resident on your hub, but it also provides the ability to import/export bundles in a Zip format.

Going to have to take this feature out for a spin …

Yeah, it is a slick adder for more complex apps, for sure.

A little more information to whet your appetite, The bundle Zip contains an install.txt and an update.txt file which contain (in order, and on separate lines) the:

  • namespace
  • bundle name
  • source file entries:
    • type (this looks like the required order also):
      • library
      • driver
      • app
    • a blank space
    • source file name

The file entries within each type are in install/update order. Other than these two required files, there are only the source files for installation/update.

There is an issue with iPad/iPhone when trying to create or modify a bundle in that the drop down to select an ADL doesn’t populate the sort order so the change never gets saved.

Works fine from any PC browser that I’ve tried but not from a browser or the app on an iPad/iPhone.

so for instance automations like require an app and drivers should be put in a bundle like the tesla app or the ecowitt weather station stuff. etc.
