The March 5th 2023 update was the first update in 2.5 months. And it was made after I wrote my post about this thread losing its purpose.
One update in 2.5 months can’t be considered “regular” particularly when there’s been releases every week or two this year.
As for:
“The more recent posts are mostly others speaking up when they have a problem with a certain Webcore related function, or something is not operating the way they are expecting it to within Webcore.”
Do you really believe it is the best solution for a multitude of support problems to be mixed into a disorganised mega-thread whose topic was intended for update announcements? There is an entire category in the Hubitat forums dedicated to Webcore. In forums like this different issues are usually addressed in individual topics of their own. That’s just how things are usually done. Disorganised Mega-threads like this aren’t helpful.
Just some constructive feedback. That’s not really the issue I care about anyway.
But I do care about release notes being available. I’m a software engineer myself. Releases should not happen without release notes. It’s the duty of the software engineer to provide these. People need to be able to make an informed choice about whether or not to take the update.
I always take the “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it” route so I always look for release notes before I make a decision. Personally I think dedicated read-only threads work best such as the approach taken by the Hubitat engineering team:
The update from 1.0.76 to 1.0.77 keeps getting stuck on Updating Piston and shows Fatal Error and rolling back. HPM then finishes with an error. I'll post a screen shots as I'm trying again.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to get this to Update?
I am up to date on the platform updates. I tried updating webCoRE with HPM twice. The first time it failed while updating 'piston'. I did nothing between the first and second update attempts. The second pass was completed without error.
Edit: Adding Log entries related to the above (app 417 is HPM):
I'm having the same issue upgrading with HPM from version 1.0.75 to 1.0.77. (C8 Hub on firmware version 2.3.5.130. The error occured on the previous version of the firmware as well).
Thanks for the response. I don't know how to save the files individually, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. (In case it might be essential to know - I've tried upgrading over a period of 3 days, getting the same error. In between, I did the soft reset of the hub.)
@nh.schottfam I'm currently not able to access "Register a browser" on PC and mobile on the local network, it's saying something about a certificate error?
I just wanted to define a device variable in one piston but no "Physical Device menu" is shown in the dedicated pop up menu (see shot below). Workaround for me was to play around a little bit until the menu shows up again.
Did someone notice this too?
Running webCoRE local on a Raspberry Pi and using webCoRE version via HPM. Latest version from HPM. Need I update Raspberry Pi again?
