Appreciate it. So I was using the 'backup code' that you can generate by clicking in the black and white snowy box (upper right) when the piston is open. Using that created the error (is that how you were doing it?)
I was, however, able to hit "backup pistons" and create a backup file that I then went to import and that seems to be functional.
Yes, you create a full backup of all pistons on the left menu column.
It creates a compressed file you can open in another instance of WC to select the pistons you want to restore.
I haven't been able to update Webcore for a couple of months now. Current version 1.0.87 HPM downloads version 1.0.93 but fails on the install producing this message.
SHOULD REBOOT HUB, wait few mins, then update webCoRE. HPM has had problems hanging on new HE firmware releases...may need to update files manually
If you update manually, update starting with piston file, fuel stream, any devices, and finish with the webcore main app.
1.0.94 - update for cloud gzip responses, updates to json logging, IDE improvement for timers, optimizations
1.0.93 - another time handling fix, and optimization, bug fixes
1.0.92 - update time handling for compler issue
1.0.91 - update time handling with sunrise/sunset
1.0.90 - update IDE operations during edit with variables
1.0.89 - Fix for hsmAlert events, cleanup azimuth and altitude sun calculations
1.0.88 - Fix for graph current value, fix for graph setting for http vs https, new location events lowMemory and cloudBackup, fixed marking of global variables in use, added altitude and azimuth to weather data, UI modules updates
1.0.83 - add asin, sin, cos function, update to allow piston setting custom timezone for sunrise/sunset
You may have to update manually.
I have been in discussions with @gopher.ny . The compile of the files happens pretty quickly. It appears there is post processing done to apply the updated files to the running applications, and that is what seems to take a long time. Victor has said he will look into it
I feel like a traitor since I moved to the HE embedded version; I miss the instant updates and testing of the fixes I ask for from @ipaterson and @nh.schottfam , great guys.
I don't seem to see a correlation between the HE version and the user app version.
How can I tell how far behind HE is?
I do use staging.webcore so at least the UI is current albeit in test.
