[EDGE DEVICE] Simple Harmony Bridge **Alpha Testing**

V2 Driver Update

Based on feedback from users, and details on how to recreate from @john915 I have found an issue.

To summarize the issue in 2 parts

  • If the driver restarts for any reason while the harmony hub is unavailable (network, or turned off etc etc) it will get stuck in a state where it will not try to reconnect by itself. A few users of V2 have come to me with this problem and It was rectified by forcing a reconnection by re-setting the IP address
  • A separate bug in the reconnection code, that in some circumstances could cause the driver the crash and restart - this bug is also present in V1 but causes a lesser impact I will not be fixing V1 - sorry

Compounded together this results in the driver becoming stuck if the harmony device goes offline un-expectedly.

Thankfully, both issues were easy fixes and a new driver has just been published to the channel. It will auto update to your hub in the next 24 hours, of you can force an install in the APP or via the CLI.
