I installed v1.8.7 (current latest release that I found), but it kept giving me an error that my user name and password were incorrect from the Hub Security credentials (problem existed whether I checked Hub Security, in this app, or not). I had confirmed my Hub Security user name and password as directed at Hub Login Security - Hubitat Documentation
I had to reinstall the HPM app, but using v.1.8.3 for this app to work.
Sorry am new to HE. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I think I may have discovered the issue (?). I was using a possible forked update on Github that was not the most current official update. As far as I can tell (now), v1.8.3 is the most current working update. Right?
No, v1.8.7 is the new fork, which most people would recommended now (the original developer has left the platform, and 1.8.3 was the last release by him). Do you see any errors in Logs when this problem happens? Do you have hub security enabled? If so, it's possible something went wrong between now and then and hasn't been discovered yet. I suspect many users do not have it enabled. Otherwise, the setting in HPM needs to match whatever is configured in the hub (including being disabled if it is disabled).
There's a chance that a repair of itself can interfere with itself. It will hang and you'd think it didn't work... it did. The new code is found and installed and it's only the display of "succeeded" that gets lost. Just use the App menu on the left and go back into HPM. You'll quickly see that you're on v1.8.7 because of the upper right corner:
I just did this entire recipe... I have a hub that does not have/use HPM and I installed it from the original github repo. v1.8.3. I did the match ups, I did an update pass, and so on. Then I did a Repair of HPM and am on v1.8.7 now. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Hi there!
I updgraded HPM today to 1.8.7. I've removed the older version, removed deprecated apps/drivers.
After matching everything, I've tried installing, repairing, and updating various packages and each time HPM hangs. I've waited up to 20-30 minutes, which never took so long before. So I'm not sure it's actually connecting to anything to be able to install/repair/update. (And I don't have Hubitat Security enabled.)
Any tips for troubleshooting?
Hub version 2.3.2.141
Didn't look at my log OR this thread before upgrading The upgrade from 1.8.2 froze and (not paying attention) I either refreshed the page or clicked on Apps --> HPM then re-ran the HPM update. The second one completed but now HPM shows 2 installed instances. Tried repair on both (no change) and uninstall on either one gets this error:
Once I figured out how to find the Package Manager Settings button, it worked like a charm. I posted a tweak to the instructions in that thread. Thanks!
The simplest path is to open HPM, click Repair, find HPM in the list and click Next.
The latest code is downloaded into the Apps Code area. Since HPM is running at that moment, there's a rare chance that swapping the code out can cause a fault with the display of the "success" message. Imagine the code is at Line XX and then the code gets swapped. Instead of running line XX+1, it's running YY. It doesn't damage anything, it just gives a log message and sometimes, appears to hang. (No "Success" message.)
Click on Apps in the Left Menu and start HPM again.. check the running version shown in the upper left corner:
An Update from 1.8.3 to 1.8.7 often has another cosmetic issue where two instances are shown. v1.8.7 has a new feature called UnMatch that, along with its other uses, also clears the two instances display.
Is there a plan to add in a Package Explorer type feature, or possibly take over the original?
Package explorer has been throwing errors(I assume since his other apps transitioned to Bundle Manager?). Although, maybe I'm just missing something. Is there a better way to search through HPM?
My history with HPM is mostly one of practicing the fine art of procrastination. The packages I was involved with at the time didn't fit HPM well. I have to admit even less demand to understand Package Explorer. Even today, I'm not sure what it did... I do know two things, it's mothballed and it was built to solve a problem that doesn't exist any more. @thebearmay points out that HPM gained external search features long ago and I enhanced (fast search) those when I chose to provide support.
