Button Controller App Cannot Edit After Saved

So I created a button controller instance and setup my luton pico to control some lights and it all seemed to work. However when I go back to the button controller app i don't see the instance I just created but i do see it listed in the apps menu. But if I click on Button Controller app or even the instance of the app i just created it always takes me to the create screen with no option to edit the one i already created.

Image below shows the Button controller app and the controller rule i created

But if I click on either one of those i'm only see this

Am i missing something?

Did you try clicking the i in a circle?

yep takes me to the same screen as if i hadnā€™t created anything yet

Try to delete completely and recreate if it lets you. Otherwise you probably need to contact support.

Click the ā€œiā€ and scroll to the bottom. Click Remove App.

Ya I deleted it and recreated and had the same issue.

Try to remove and reinstall the app. I have not created a new Button Controller app since the 706 update, so I tried to duplicate what you are seeing, but cannot. Probably the Button Controllers app just needs to be reinstalled.

Otherwise, if that doesnā€™t do it @bobbyD will get it straightened out quick.

Button Controllers doesnā€™t display itā€™s child apps on the main screen (neither does Rule Machine). You can get into one of the individual button controller child apps by simply clicking on it in the list of apps, shown under Button Controllers. Did you click on Jasmineā€™s Bedroom Night Light Controller?

Are you using Safari as your browser? I canā€™t edit anything if I use Safari. I switched to Chrome for my hubitat.

Yes i did click on the Jasmineā€™s Bedroom Night Light Controller and it still takes me to the create button controller and not the instance iā€™m trying to edit. I can confirm though that this only occurs in Safari on my mac if I switch to Chrome its fine.

Ahh Apple stuff. It just works different :wink:

If you code specifically for Chrome it won't work in Safari as well. Has nothing to do with who made the browser, it's the code being displayed by the browser. :slight_smile:

If you donā€™t code specifically for safari donā€™t you mean? The code works in Chrome, Firefox, Edgeā€¦

This sounds like a weird caching problem, but who knows. We havenā€™t seen this before. I do use Chrome, but once in a while I bring things up in Safari, and Iā€™ve never seen anything like this.

No, I meant what I said. If you're writing code and only checking your work in Chrome then you're only writing for Chrome. Someone didn't check their code in Safari... No blame, no name calling, just stating fact.

No code was written for Chrome. Most of this code was originally written for the ST mobile app. I cannot reproduce your problem with Safari and Button Controller. It works fine with Safari.

The one known Safari anomaly, that we have coded for specifically for Safari, has to do with inputing a time.

Well Iā€™m not the only one who has reported issues with Safari and itā€™s more than just buttons. I canā€™t edit RM rules or simple lighting rules with Safari either. Itā€™s not a cache thing because Iā€™ve flushed cache, restarted Safari and even restarted my Mac. Iā€™ve sent a laundry list of issues in Safari to Patrick via PM. I can also provide screenshots and video if it helps.

Until the Safari issues are fixed Iā€™m fine using Chrome.

That's very strange, as I can do all of the above with Safari. I've tested it on MacOS and iOS.

Are you using MacOS or iOS? The symptoms you are reporting sound like mouse-click registration, or tap registration -- depending. You think you'e hitting one hyperlink target, but are actually hitting a different one.

I also reported an issue in Safari with the Hue integration where on the step of the hub link / discovery Safari takes you to a 404 page on refreshes while looking for the hub, where Chrome discovers the hub properly. I think others experienced this to.

I just checked and i can edit the buttons on iOS but on Safari on my mac I am always taken to the Button create page.

Iā€™m on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 Beta (17E170c) Safari Version 11.1 (13605.1.32)

Using MacOS High Sierra. It's not what I "think". I know where my mouse pointer is and what I'm clicking on. :slight_smile:

Every time I click on a rule to edit I'm taken to the page to create a new rule. I can recreate this every time.
