Patched webCoRE for Hubitat (2018/09/09)

bptworld · May 4, 2018, 3:40pm

Alright...still banging my head against the wall. Back working with the Rpi.

Formatted the sd card and started from scratch. Same outcome. I get the 'Forbidden' screen.
One note about that is that the webcore file that is created with "sudo ln -s 'pwd' /var/www/webcore" has an exclamation mark for an icon, like there is something wrong.

If I then delete the webcore file and try to go to web server, I get a 404 Not found. So it's definitely looking for that file. But obviously something isn't right with that file when it is created.

Had another person try to run through the instructions too and also got the same thing. Extremely puzzled on how some have this working.

Did you copy/paste the command? Can you make sure it's a ` around pwd and not '

I had an issue with this as well; it was the first time I ever needed to use this character (the backward slanted quote below the tilda).

You are a genius! The dashboard is now coming up asking for my registration code. This is why I gave up programming after COBOL! lol

Thank you!

I saw where @ajayjohnm updated the Hubitat webCoRE code in his gitHub. I originally followed the instructions here:

to build out my rPi and it is working well. What is the recommended way to update my rPi with the new code? I want to make sure I don't mess anything up so I thought I would ask for help before I did that.

Thanks!

cd
cd webCoRE/
git pull

@ajayjohnm merged my changes to fix the virtual flash and dim over time commands along with some basic support for Home Security Monitor (no arm, disarm commands yet but you can see the status), and some fixes for executing pistons from a url. If you are using a local version of webcore use the command above to update along with the main groovy files. If you are using dashboard.webcore.co you must add the ?access_token parameter manually to your piston execution link. You can get the access token by clicking the blue "i" link next to the main webcore app and looking for "accessToken"

I am using the local version of webcore. That is what I was looking for. Thank you!

I followed the instructions for installing on my Raspberry Pi. The WebCoRE dash board launches fine but I cannot create any pistons.

When I try to create a piston, it asks for the author and piston name. I type both in and hit create. I am then greeted with an error stating: "Sorry, an error occurred while retrieving the piston data. "

The only option that I have when I get this error is to hit "Go Home" which takes me back to the dashboard. I then see the new piston name in light grey under "Paused Pistons". If I click on it I get the same error as above. The Hubitat Apps page shows both pistons under my main WebCoRE app. I can't edit them though.
I get the same if I try to import using a backup code or any other method.

Any ideas?

I had things working ... for a while then the dashboard (webcore or local) froze and got all fubar ... Uninstalled and may retry when I have some downtime

I've noticed that occasionally my pistons go past the time of execution and the timer starts to count up.
Last night when we got home none of my light pistons had fired. House was in complete darkness.
Is anyone else getting issues with webCoRE?
I thought webCoRE had some sort of 'failsafe' that would kick in if a piston failed and the time counter was going in the wrong direction.

bobbles · May 7, 2018, 2:08pm

Anyone having problems with loading existing pistons?
I updated to the latest version webCoRE yesterday and now I cannot access anything.
Nightmare.
It's either the latest hub update or webCoRE.
Anyone have access to an old version of webCoRE that I can try to see if this is the issue.

You can just look at the history in github, and grab the files from a different revision:

Pick a commit, click on the "Browse Files" button in blue at the right, and there you are.

bobbles · May 7, 2018, 2:36pm

Thanks for the reply.
I'm obviously being a bit dim here, but I cannot find the old files.
I click on 'Browse Files'.
I can then see ady624/smartapps.
Click on that and it has the latest files.
Where will I find the old ones.
Thanks again.

Matthew · May 7, 2018, 2:38pm

I updated and I am not having any issues. I can access all my pistons and the all appear to be working as expected.

bobbles · May 7, 2018, 2:40pm

OK. Thanks. When you say updated, do you mean the hub, webCoRE or both.
Thanks again.

neilb · May 7, 2018, 2:41pm

I to have just updated and now cant creat any pistons I get the above message in logs

Matthew · May 7, 2018, 2:52pm

Sorry. Both. I updated my local webCoRE on my RaspberryPi for the changes on Saturday morning and I updated the hub to the latest firmware (1.0.8.711) when it was released.

bobbles · May 7, 2018, 2:57pm

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That could be the reason. I haven't updated anything on my Pi.

Matthew · May 7, 2018, 3:08pm

@jp0550 Now you have me thinking (always dangerous). I still have the previous version of webCoRE code in my 'Apps Code' section and I never updated that. Do I need that code since it is running off the RaspberryPi? Can I/Should I remove that webCoRE 'Apps Code?' If it is needed, then I should at least update it to the same version that I have on the RaspberryPi, right? What is the right thing to do here??
