Howto Upgrade the Vera Alerts Plugin

[elordude]

Richard,  I was wrong i disable all the vera alerts that is the reason i was getting none - I just turned them back on and i'm still getting Front Door Alerts for the Motion detectors  - it used to work without issues on previous version.  Can I downgrade ?  I went from ver 2.0 to 4.1

Well you can shoot the proverbial messenger (Vera Alerts). But from the log it looks like your alarm plugin setup has problems. It is sending a bunch of change requests to Vera when nothing has changed.

In the future, please put long logs in an attachment. It's good forum etiquette.

Richard,


I did not write the Alarm plugin, to me it looks like the alarm plugin sent a status of all items in the alarm when any item is triggered (not just the one that is triggered) I only received trigger for the front door because i have a notification there (for open/close) - if i had a notification for all 8 items I would receive 8 notification twice (it send a report for sensor Tripped = 1 and then for Tripped = 0 for motion).  This was not a problem on previous version of the Veralerts plugin, can I help you debug the problem (if you think is a problem)

Below door sensor was not tripped Tripped was: 0 now: 0 (Alarm sent a full summary along with motion triggered) but a Veralert notification was sent but the event itself was not triggered (Event::Evaluate 42 Front Door Opened scene Front Door Opened is false repeat 0/-1 <0x30e62680>)

Let me know how can i help

Which Alarm Plugin is this ?
I do not know why the previous version would have worked ... Maybe it never sent an alert for the Door closed because you never ran "Notifications Configure" after you added it. You can disable that one event, since that's alerting you of the normal state.

Richard,

Alarm plugin is Caddx/GE/NetworX NX-584/NX-8E Security System by futzle

This is what i found so far
I had two Front Door notifications one for Door Open (tripped) and the other one for Door Closed (not tripped) - for some reason after upgrade Veralaerts would send a "Door Closed"notification  for ever motion sensor trigger - I assume because the alarm sends a full summary of all sensors with every trigger and the Door is Closed (Not tripped) - this used to work OK before upgrade but not with the latest version.

I removed all the notifications for the (not tripped) for the doors for now and it works but i'm not able to log or know when the doors are closed after they are opened.

I still get all the alarms notification duplicated for some reason - not a big deal just annoying

regards
Harry

Just updated to 4.5 ... thanks for the user information in the report :-)

Couple of things:
Since no password is required when people are on my  LAN and can  acces the vera GUI and also acces vera alerts  ( which is offcourse not good , but hey , that's vera) . The password from my email adress is very much viewable :-s   Any change to make that hidden?


I just looked at the report , and there is something strange there. I have for 1 smoke detector ,2 notifications ( one for me and one for family and friends) On the report there are 3 notifications , where one has no user. This last one does also not show on the "configuration notification". Not a big thing , but it would be nice to have it all correct.

In the profile setup I see there is a posibility to use templates. The link to to the help page it a bit to tech for me. Is it possible to have in the body a fix message followed by whatever is written in the "notification configuration"?

Thanks,
Cor

I am trying to upgrade from 6.29 to 6.31 as i want the pushbullett profile. I have done the manual upgrade (http://myip:3480/data_request?id=update_plugin&Plugin=3008) a fcouple of times followed by a reload and browser refresh. It is downloading some Vera alert files, but it is still stuck on 6.29 without the pushbullet profile

[RichardTSchaefer]

Not approved by MCV yet ...

[mikee123]

That explains it. At least its not my system. I'll be patient and wait...

[Jamr]

Thanks Richard. Your upgrade worked fine top the latest version.
I have a lot of customization of the alerts in your add on. Is there a way to save that in case I have to uninstall and reinstall?

[RichardTSchaefer]

I will add it to the list ... I have a release pending the next Vera Release ... I will try to get that in that release.

[mr leaver]

How do i a automatically upgraded vera alerts (7.11 now) on a UI5 machine downgrade to the latest UI5 version ?

I found this:

I will add it to the list ... I have a release pending the next Vera Release ... I will try to get that in that release.

I missed this. Thanks!

Folks have asked how to update the Plugin if you have an older version installed.
The auto-update feature does not work well.

You can update it with the following:

If you accidentally upgrade your Vera running UI5 to a UI7 version, you can recover by restoring the latest UI5 version:

Richard does this still work? I've accidentally upgraded Vera Alert and tried to downgrade it again but it won't go any lower than version 6.43, which doesn't appear to be compatible with my license or UI5. How do I get back to a UI5 version again? THANKS
