NOTE: If upgrade from a pre-Luup version and do not choose 'restore to factory default' your Vera will not work, so read the instructions below first.

When Luup is officially released everyone's system will automatically notify them and allow them to upgrade to the latest version. In the meantime, you can upgrade to the latest version by going to Advanced, Download and putting one of the URL's in the 'Firmware url' field. The first time you go from the current release of Vera (ie 1.0.604 or lower) to one of the Luup releases (1.0.700 and greater) you *must* choose 'restore to factory' default when it asks you if you want to keep your settings. This is because we have not yet written the conversion utility to convert the configuration from a pre-Luup firmware to Luup. If you upgrade with 'preserve my settings', you will need to upgrade again with 'restore to factory default'. Once you have setup your configuration with a Luup release, then you can choose 'preserve my settings' to upgrade to another Luup release and keep your settings.

Much of the functionality which exists in the current Vera was written as closed-source plugins in C/C++. These plugins are being converted to Luup plugins so users can change the code to customize the functionality. So many of the features in the .602 version of Vera are missing from the Luup version because they have not yet been re-written as Luup plugins.

This fixes a few crashes with configuring devices.

2009-June-15 1.0.711

Download URL: http://download.controlmyhouse.net/betafirmware/ftp/wl500gP-1.0.711.trx

This fixes an issue with the software not restarting after removing/reinserting the dongle. It also fixes the 'do something after x seconds' in scenes.

2009-June-12 1.0.710

Download URL: http://download.controlmyhouse.net/betafirmware/ftp/wl500gP-1.0.710.trx

This is the initial beta release of the Luup engine. The following functionality which exists in the current release of Vera is not yet working in this release: In scenes the 'after x seconds/minutes' do something else, many of the events are not implemented, event notifications, energy monitoring and setting pin codes on door locks. The rest of the Z-Wave commands should work. A Luup plugin for the Global Cache GC100 is included and the serial ports work for controlling RS232 devices and also the i/r transmitters. You can start creating support for i/r devices although it will be tedious at the moment to do this by hand putting pronto codes in the XML files until the web-based generator tool is available.

This release is for Luup developers only and is not suitable for mainstream users yet because of the missing functionality.
