webCoRE for Hubitat Updates

nh.schottfam · February 4, 2022, 5:28am

New release is out

Significant reduction in network bandwidth usage for dashboard and IDE
Improvements in IDE 'db' loads by separating 'db' update from piston load
New warnings in IDE for improper trigger usage/coding
UI updates to choose is/are correctly (html, css, js updated)
dashboard.webcore.co has rolled out dark mode theme
flash/fade and other possibly long running commands have been significantly optimized
- these commands can cancel via normal tcp rules
Many thanks to @ipaterson for UI improvements and db load.

There is a new documentation and tips digest available:

so i updated using HPM and every thing is working just fine, except all my pistons now look like this

i cant edit any piston or create any pistons.

ive tried loging out, hub reboot and clearing browser cache
the webcore app is the same.

any ideas????

nh.schottfam · February 4, 2022, 2:09pm

what are you using for your dashboard/IDE site?

dashboard.webcore.co, staging.webcore.co, or something local (Did it get updated files)?

Did you clear caches or force re-load the browser?

garyburchell · February 4, 2022, 2:15pm

ive cleared Caches and force re-loaded browers - chrome

ive just tried edge browser and its working....

so issue is with the app and chrome

nh.schottfam · February 4, 2022, 2:15pm

which site are you using?

I can try to reproduce. I did test chrome myself.

I just did it again, and it works.

Chrome is weird for clearing caches

you have to use the 3 dots on the right (near your name/profile symbol) -> then More tools -> clear browsing data

so i just did a reboot of pc after clear cache and everything 3 times on chrome, when i opened chrome it gave a message of browser is now upto date and its all working again in chrome, the app is still not working but im guessing its a cache issue so ill wipe it and try again. i wiped all cache and data from the app and logged back in all working again

thanks for your help

I had the same issue (missing piston statements when editing a piston using my Rpi hosted dashboard). Ironically I was using Edge and only Chrome worked correctly. Hard reloading Edge didn't fix it; I clicked on 'logout' to the left of the dashboard page, then registered a new browser (with a code from the settings page of the WebCoRE app on HE) and logged in to the dash again. That got everything working normally.

The webcore application automatically updated overnight and now when I visit the dashboard my pistons are missing all of the statements. I had the hard reload error but followed @Tony and resolved that issue. I am hosting the server locally on a RPi. Still missing statements in the pistons. Thoughts?

nh.schottfam · February 4, 2022, 10:11pm

did you update the files for your local server?

This update did update the UI modules.

Tony · February 4, 2022, 10:14pm

Prior to applying this update I did update my RPi's local dashboard files as well... I hadn't done it in a while (over two years).

reid.j.keith · February 4, 2022, 10:20pm

I have not seen any links with instructions to update the local server. Has someone already posted about it? I did look at the github but all of the files there are old. @Tony how did you update your RPi? Where are the updated files?

nh.schottfam · February 4, 2022, 10:28pm

Note 2 of this thread discusses local webcore server for html/css/js

it also describes to use the files that are this git repo (for webcore HE). I expect thing not to work if you use other files.

Tony · February 4, 2022, 11:49pm

The commands below worked for me to update my local RPi dashboard server; likely they came from the thread that @nh.shottfam refers to. I barely know enough linux to keep my RPi running so anyone that sees anything wrong, feel free to comment/correct.

My webCoRE directory is in the /home/pi directory; the first step should change the current directory to the one where your webCoRE directory is. If you want to back up that directory just in case, the mv command will do it, as in:
mv webCoRE oldwebCoRE

cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/imnotbob/webCoRE
cd webCoRE
git checkout hubitat-patches
cd dashboard
sudo ln -s pwd/var/webcore

@nh.schottfam : I upgraded webCoRE to v0.3.114.20220203_HE today via HPM and my comparisons from http POST requests started failing.

This did work before and is now failing:

Moved from a value comparison to an expression comparison and it works as expected as shown:

djh_wolf · February 5, 2022, 11:52pm

updated. needed to log in / out a few times, but eventually statements are working again.

cheers!

nh.schottfam · February 6, 2022, 2:51am

This is fixed in the latest bits.

Just updated my instance from HPM about 20 minutes ago. All seems fine on my end. Did need to logout and back in after the install completed, using chrome. After it logged back in it has been performing well, seems a little snappier even when navigating. Using staging.webcore.co and it has been good. Was able to modify pistons without problems, and even was able to backup all of my pistons too.

@nh.schottfam
Sorry but I'm still confused how to update my local installation of webCoRE. I'm still new to all of that but got it working fine (webCoRE on hubitat and locally dashborad on my RPi). Yesterday I updated webCoRE via HPM. If I start the dashboard I now get the following banner on the top

I was happy to get webCoRE running locally but now I struggle how to update the local installation on my RPi.
Is it the right way to update the local installation which @Tony is describing in his post?
