UI5 : 1.5.255 (Vera2) & 1.5.254 (Vera3) - December 23, 2011

New features in UI5:

1. Devices are organized and displayed in separate tabs by category: lights, sensors, cameras, etc.

2. You can pin the most often used devices and scenes on the Dashboard for quick access. The devices and scenes that are not pinned won't be displayed on the Dashboard.

3. The Add Device Wizard is now included in UI.

4. You can view and manage all the existing triggers (events) and schedules (timers) on Vera without opening any scene.

5. Creating scenes is easier and more intuitive with the new scene creator wizard.

6. You can now see the scene commands in the Advanced scene editor.

7. The MiOS Marketplace (now called MiOS Apps) functionality is now included in UI. You can:

• View app information
• Install apps
• View and Add reviews

8. The MiOS control panel (CP) functionality is now included in UI, but only if the user is authenticated. You can:

• Connect to one of your other Veras
• Add new or existing users to your Vera
• Remove users from your Vera
• Change your MiOS account password
• View alerts
• View available backups
• Change unit settings, like the Vera name and the number of SMSes and e-mails per day
• View camera archives

9. Energy monitoring using the ERGY plugin by EchoLabs, which is included in UI.

10. Real-time camera video streaming and video recording.

This documents the changes since the first public beta release of UI4, 1.1.1047

UI4 : 1.1.1338 - July 29, 2011 - RC

1. Use the Z-Wave double send (without ACK then with ACK) for lights only, not other devices, since its purpose was to eliminate the popcorn effect and creates unnecessary traffic otherwise.

2. Add special handling for devices made by Fibar for 2 way feedback

3. Fix NetworkMonitor so it will always reset the time if it doesn't get set at boot

4. Fix a bug in a script in the prior beta that made it incompatible with Vera 1

5. Add the pulse variable to the sdata request for energy meters

6. Fix a problem where changes saved got lost because luaupnp got a reload and the watchdog timer kicked in before it had finished flushing the files to disk.

7. Add support for Schedule Entry version 3 command class and locks by Assa Abloy

8. Tweak to the timing of the squashfs mounting to improve reliability

1.1.1323 - July 13, 2011 - beta

1. Fix a problem where a configure job could get stuck and not finish due to a race condition between multiple jobs

2. Fix problem where zwave frame collission resulted in failed job

3. Reduce incidence of EEPROM corruption in Z-Wave 4.52 where it mistakenly thinks there is a suc and gives "Failed to go into learn mode" errors when adding nodes.

4. Automatically correct situation #3 if the user has not already added devices.

5. Synchronize deleted devices with the central server

6. Add subcategory to identify types of security sensors

7. Add circulate fan mode support (not in the UI yet, but coming in UI5)

1.1.1298 - June 21, 2011 - beta

The primary reason for this release is that there was a bug in 1.1.1245 that prevented Z-Wave 'reset network' from working, and some users got stuck with a "failled to start z-wave" error.

1. Add default values for sensors as not-tripped so it appears correctly in the UI when the sensor hasn't been used yet.

2. Add support for multi-channel association

3. Add support for Danfoss thermostat

4. Fix for X10 devices that have 2 digit numeric ID's

5. Add support for Everspring motion sensors

6. Add support for Aeon 4-in-1 sensors

7. Minor enhancements to the wakeup procedure to support devices with short wakeup times

8. Fix support for the gc-100

9. Add support for the PolyControl door lock

10. Change the default PIN for locks to 8 characters instead of 4

1.1.1245 - April 20, 2011 - release

Most notably this release includes a new version of the Z-Wave firmware in the Z-Wave chip, and this new version allows Vera to optimize the routes the Z-Wave mesh network uses. This should improve reliability. See MigrateTo452 Also Vera will no longer scan for UPnP devices unless you choose 'Add Device' and at the bottom check the option to scan for UPnP devices.

1. The energy plugin is now built into the engine. It will be removed on upgrade. Energy events are logged to your mios.com account automatically.

2. There is an option with Vera2 (Currently not working with Vera1) on Advanced, Logs to enable logging to a USB stick. This frees up quite a bit of memory, so if you have a lot of devices or plugins and your Vera is running slow or crashing because it's running out of memory, this is a solution. Note that after you check the box it can take up to 30 minutes to format the USB drive, and bootup will take a couple minutes longer with the USB drive installed. It will continue to boot up fine without the USB drive connected, just don't remove it while Vera is running. IMPORTANT: Use a new USB drive that hasn't already been formatted. In particular, don't use a USB drive that is already formatted for Mac.

3. There is a fix to prevent the main engine from starting before Vera has synced the date/time, which previously had caused sunset/sunrise timers to trigger unexpectedly. There is no battery-backed up clock in Vera. It needs to get the date/time from the internet at each boot.

4. This fixes a bug causing high CPU load and reboot when certain UPnP devices are detected on the network, such as Sonos.

5. The DSC plugin, and possibly others that use serial ports, did not work because the engine was trying to open the port twice.

6. Add some extra info in the heal process, and report the health rating and heal date to our tech support server along with ZWave node info, so, when a customer calls in for support, we will know what types of devices he has and how healthy they are to make better recommendations about improving ZWave reliability.

7. Some startup messages weren't displayed properly in the info panel.

8. Bad UPnP devices on the network that constantly report themselves every 1 second with a new UUID would eventually consume all the memory causing a crash. Now the software filters these rogue devices.

8. There's a new lu_sdata request that makes it much simpler to develop third party user interfaces to control the system. See: UI Simple

9. Store a counter of all polls (PollOk) with the number that failed transmission (PollTxFail) or failed to reply (PollNoReply). All counters are reset whenever you do a heal network. The counters are visible as extra variables in the device's advanced tab. This is for troubleshooting ZWave problems.

10. Add support for viewing live, streaming video. Remote Camera Streaming

11. Fix that sometimes variables across multiple bridged MiOS systems weren't being synchronized all the time.

12. Increase the timeouts for some internet operations so it works on super, super slow connections like satellite.

13. Fix for thermostats always showing fan as 'On' when it's in auto.

14. Add support for Fortrezz WMA-02, with new 'Leak alarm' event

15. Add support for Alarm Command Class version 2

16. Fix a crash caused by wakeup interval set to the minimum value

17. Fix problem with Insteon not starting when there are a lot of existing devices.

18. Fix problem with a LuaUPnP process not cleanly exiting, causing the UPnP port to remain stuck for 2 minutes and slowing down reload.

19. Implement a new Infrared learning, identifying, transmitting engine.

20. Fix toggle state with Insteon.

21. Add basic support for Zigbee lights with a SimpleHomeNet ZBPLM and Luup Plugin

22. Fix crash when adding new A/V devices

23. Reduce the delay between Z-Wave commands to solve startup problems on large networks

24. Add support for Yale/Assa Abbloy locks

25. Fix to handle Luup plugins staying locked to the right serial port when they're unplugged/reconnected.

26. Prevent Insteon module from taking over a serial port

27. Upgrade the ftdi_sio driver to support new infrared blaster

28. Fix intermittent crash when receiving a wakeup command

29. Add attribute set to the Luup API

30. Add Sleep to the Luup API

31. Reduce number of retries for download files/plugins

32. Use separate worker threads for slow processes like downloading vs fast processes like Z-Wave response to speed up the response to time sensitive tasks.

33. Don't execute timers if time jumps, caused by a new sync to the ntp server

34. Increase wait time for Luup plugins from 45 seconds to 90 to resolve some slow plugins that take a long time to initialize.

35. Add logging for the last time the battery level was reported and show the battery icon as a ? if it's been more than 7 days.

36. Fix problem with variableset Luup command not setting value always.

37. Don't repoll or reconfigure battery operated devices that wakeup constantly. At most re-poll every 10 minutes.

38. Add new scene recorder feature for easier scene creation.

39. Fix problem with the UI4 dashboard getting out of sync with the engine.

40. Fix problem with creation of 2 cameras using the same plugin.

41. Always write user_data when child devices change in case the reload doesn't work, causing a never ending cycle

42. Log uptime and track memory leaks.

43. Add crossdomain.xml so ActionScript clients can poll

44. Fix deadlock problem when aborting an existing send data command

45. Rewrite the watchdog function so it catches threads that don't exit after the main one closes

46. Add a tracking and reporting of 'tardy' tasks that run more than 3 seconds after they should.

47. Add decoding of infrared signals to extract the protocol, device and button codes from a learned i/r signal

48. Toggle the CPLD chip if the Z-Wave module stops responding to try to wake it up.

49. Allow scenes to control A/V devices

50. Fix for Leviton ZRCS4 id=2050 for 0-3 buttons

51. Increase timeout of http fetches for slow satellite internet connections

52. Allow Luup plugins (SQRemote) to remotely turn on features with a provision flag.

53. Don't treat superceded jobs as an error.

54. Fix issue with bridged systems not syncing state changes

55. Fix issue with bridged systems and deep nested trees of devices more than 3 layers deep (ie 3-in-1 sensor)

56. Re-write bridging code to reduce memory usage.

57. Prevent UPnP devices from being marked offline if the luup plugin doesn't load.

58. Add timestamps for all stages of the Z-Wave heal

59. Add support for measuring KWH and resetting the cumulative measurement

60. Add support for new Z-Wave metering classes

61. Add buttons for streaming and still camera images

62. Fix to prevent some messages from getting lost in the info panel

63. Fix when adding/removing multiple devices with a timeout and not doing anything that it showed it stayed in 'add/remove' mode.

64. Add filter when UPnP devices broadcast constantly to prevent bogging down the system.

65. Few minor Z-Wave changes required to pass Sigma certification. Engine is now certified.

66. Re-order the on/off buttons in UI4.

67. Keep a log of polling history and success/fail, report to central server to assist tech support.

68. Filter duplicate nonce's from secure devices.

69. Fix scenes not updating from bridge's systems

70. Add an auto purge of excessive ip and/or upnp requests so the user_data file doesn't grow bigger than the memory supports.

71. Add a watchdog to the remote access tunnels to ensure access through cp.mios.com stays alive

72. If the Z-Wave network doesn't start stop resetting the Insteon network too

73. Change default poll interval on FLiRS devices to 10800 seconds instead of 60 to conserve the battery

Old, archived release notes

1. Fix problems with getting alerts for both 'over' and 'under' a certain temperature

2. Fix problem with getting an 'over' and 'under' temperature alert every time the sensor reports the temperature

3. Automatically set the clock on ZWave devices that support COMMAND_CLASS_CLOCK

4. Fix compatibility with the Fortrezz water valve

5. Fix problem where sometimes you can't remove a dead node

6. Fix one Vera importing and controlling the devices from another.

7. Fix one Vera controlling other UPnP devices.

8. Change the way the version is reported so it's compatible with a new SQ Remote update

9. Fix a problem with include/exclude ZWave not working when using the buttons while Vera is disconnected from the network

10. Strip UPNP XML files of any non-standard characters (like accented characters) since this can cause some upnp scanners, like Device Spy, to ignore them.

After 996

11. Occasionally a device that was properly configured could show as incorrectly configured if it failed to config and then was immediately reconfigured and succeeded the 2nd time before the 1st failure had been purged from the log.

12. Fortrezz Water + Temp sensor now supports both events.

13. Scenes can be 'active' or 'inactive' based on either 2 settings: 1) all devices in the scene are set, or 2) any device in the scene is on.

14. Automatically set the LED's in a Leviton scene controller based on #13

15. Fix a crash while logging DHCP requests

16. Don't try to configure a node right away if it failed configuration on the last attempt to reduce long latency caused by continuously reconfiguring dead nodes.

17. Migrate to the new server structure with redundannt servers

18. Add ability to do ZWave multi-cast.

19. Fix a bug where it got stuck retrying to download plugins despite a network failure.

20. Set default root password to the same as the Wifi Password/ HouseID, so telnet is disabled now by default.

21. Don't set or restore default names that have been set with ZWave node naming get (ie starting with _).

22. Add ability to specify custom device types and names for products based on the ZWave manufacturer and product ID's and an xml file, including default names and variable settings.

23. Some ZWave chips seem to have trouble going into 'add node' mode when the commands are sent fast, so added some delays.

24. Add handling for more alarms from door locks, like when new user codes are added and removed, and low battery alarms.

25. For slow IP cameras there is now a timeout setting that can be increased to allow more time to return the JPEG. Also, the engine won't block the browser if the camera takes more than 3 seconds to respond. It will continue to retrieve the image in the background return it with the subsequent request.

UI2 : 1.0.994 and UI3 : 1.1.319 - April 21, 2010 - final UI2 and UI3

Both versions, 1.1.319 and 1.0.994, have the same back end engine. The difference is 1.0.994 has the older web html & javascript user interface (UI2), and 1.1.319

1. [Bug 739]: Fix an intermittent problem with 'handler not found' error when trying to access the smartphone or WAP plugin

2. Fix an error with pan/tilt buttons on a camera not working

3. Add support for the Kwikset ZWave lock's built-in scheduling

4. Improve configuring a Schlage lock. We discovered a 'hidden' configuration setting you can use to get all the user codes states at once rather than polling each code individually as per the official ZWave spec.

5. Correct the reporting of lock/unlock on the Schlage deadbolt. Previously if a lock or unlock was sent to the deadbolt and the deadbolt reported it was executed OK, Vera assumed the lock was really locked/unlocked. Now we use the alarms from the lock instead so the state is always accurate.

6. Fix so the include/exclude mode when triggered with the physical buttons stays on indefinitely.

7. For advanced users, add capability to send door lock NONCE's with ACK by adding the UPNP variable urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveDevice1/NonceACK=1

8. Unmount the filesystem and kill all processes before flashing the firmware. Also report to a central server when the process starts, and when it reboots after an upgrade so we have a log to accurately measure how often an upgrade fails. We're trying to reduce the number of instances where Vera's firmware gets messed up during an upgrade. This process of upgrading isn't in our code, actually. It's part of the base Linux distro (OpenWRT), and, officially, the only way it should ever happen unless the user pulls the plug while the firwmare is being written, or a brown out. However we have had users experience it even though they insist the power was on steady during the whole firmware write process.

9. For UI3 the problems with drag and drop are solved, and there's a new list view if you don't like the floorplan view. Several other cosmetic and usability issues have been fixed by the Flash team.

10. Fix reset_to_factory_default script, it deleted some required files for the user manual. Now deletes only certain files.

11. Add default free dns servers: OpenDNS.org

1.0.979 - October 24, 2009 - final beta

All known issues of stability and memory leaks have now been resolved. The infrared and INSTEON/X10 modules are also fully functioning. The next couple weeks we will closely monitor the forums and trouble tickets to see if there are any lingering issues and then issue a release candidate.

Fixes:

0. IMPORTANT: The concept of method #1 and method #2 for programming scenes into scene controllers and handheld remotes no longer exists. The 'Treat Scenes as Events' checkbox is no longer used. Now, to assign a scene, select the scene, click 'Add Event', choose the scene controller or handheld remote, choose the event 'A Scene is Activated', and pick the scene or button ID, such as 3 for button 3 on a scene controller. Any Up/Down or Off buttons now work fine, plus you can add thermostats, door locks, and other non-scene devices to a scene and Vera will still trigger them. So with release 979, it's all automatic and you no longer have to make a decision for method #1 or method #2, and there is no longer a sacrifice with one method over the other. The ZWave Add Controller page has been updated.

1. There was a file handle leak with files in /tmp that were deleted but not closed. This caused the system to run out of resources and crash after a few days.
