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

Driver Update just released 24/03/23

  • Activity devices now have an additional capability that will show a more fine grained last status update than just on or off, Possible values are ‘starting’, ‘on’, ‘stopping’ and ‘off’. On and Off are bound to the status of the switch still, but starting and stopping messages could be missed for various reasons, and because they are fleeting statuses they will not get picked up by the poll that happens every 60s. This will be useful for people who wish to trigger automations on the starting or stopping of an activity regardless of whether it actually fully starts or stops. Thanks for the suggestion @VVicked let me know how you get on
  • Activity specific state digest logs will now be logged directly against the activity device log history (if you have verbose logging turned on at the hub device the activity is associated to)
  • Bug fix for the device list, for some devices the devicelist was showing the wrong commands, particularly number buttons i.e Number9 - this has now been fixed. This bug has been there since day one of the driver - thanks for flagging @Babar_Khan
  • Better connectivity logging, both in logcat and in logger history
  • Better disconnection handling
  • Improvements to initial connection, especially if the harmony hub is not yet online (hopefully this will fix the issues some users had after a power outage). If the hub starts up st before the harmony hub, an attempt to re-connect will be made every 60s

The update only applies to V2 of the driver, I will not be backporting any of the changes. If you want the update ensure you are already on V2.

If you are already on V2, the update should install within 24 hours automatically, or you force through the app or CLI.

Any questions please let me know,
