Known bug. This will be fixed in 2.2.4 release.

In the interim you can program this single button using Rule Machine.

Any idea on the release schedule for 2.2.4. From what I've seen posted, there are quite a few bugs that I'm working against that will be fixed in 2.2.4. Thanks.

It's going to be a while. Best to use work-arounds as available.

Thanks!

Is 2.2.4 real or is it the code name for the mythical release where every known bug is fixed? :wink:

We can only fix the bugs we know about. But, that happens with every release. Here's how real it is:

Now, that reveals quite a bit, including:

  • It's real.
  • It's not very far along, considering that 2.2.3 got to .148.
  • Something must have been wrong with 2.2.4.101.

Beyond that, speculation is encouraged.

I don't remember exactly, but I had to roll back within about 2 minutes. My house runs on this stuff, and I do have a wife who I try to not drive crazy.
