WebThings Gateway 1.2 Alpha testing feedback #3125

More feedback - then going back to version 1.1 ... Looking through the log files, there are lots of warnings and errors (not terribly meaningful to me), but I did see that the temperature thing seemed to be reporting a temperature. Also, the "motion" value is being returned, just not displayed. Logs can be provided if useful. Ian B/geneva/switzerland |

Hi @IJCJI-IAN, thank you very much for doing all of this testing, it's very helpful.
Yes please! I'm not able to reproduce a lot of these bugs so logs would help a lot. |
I'm not able to reproduce this behaviour. At least with Things from the Virtual Things add-on I can see properties and actions and rules and logs are visible too. Is there a specific add-on the devices use which are missing properties and actions? System logs or browser logs might be helpful to debug the rules and logs issues.
This is actually not unusual. Unless the device has a specific unpairing procedure that you follow when removing it, Zigbee devices are often available to re-add to the dashboard without being re-paired, even if powered off.
That does sound unusual! It may be the default behaviour of the smart plug when unpaired, but I don't have that model to test with.
👍
Does it render correctly? The CSS may have been broken by the new groups feature.

Which version of Raspberry Pi are you using? On Raspberry Pi 4 I can see multiple properties for the CPU Thing added from the Systeminfo add-on. 
Info was junk otherwise, but all things displayed after a refresh. I suspect this is all related to #3122 because it isn't listening for property changes correctly, but it would be good to re-test this with the next pre-release when it's available (that bug is now fixed on the master branch).
I can reproduce this, but I'm not sure if it's an issue with the gateway or the add-on, might be worth filing an issue on the add-on repo https://github.com/tim-hellhake/systeminfo-adapter
What model of device was this? Do you know if it worked in 1.1? Tried to add a Zigbee motion detector after putting it into pairing mode - success, but no motion was displayed on the Things page. Tried to add a Z-Wave bulb (recognized and added), but could not be controlled. Again, model names and whether they previously worked on 1.1 would be good to know. Thanks again for doing all of this testing. |

Update: I was finally able to test with real devices and I can confirm that things are very broken! See #3126 |

Test 1.2.0-alpha.1 Probably not much help in another report to further establish that the zigbee system has some problems. When finally getting a sensor or two connected I note the same Also, type of sensor is significant. A tilt/vibration type refuses to appear despite repeated pairing attempts. The zigbee remote mqtt reader system is in better shape, as this is what I used initially. I have one ConBeeII and one Aeotec Zwave Stick-7. To verifiy reported problems I connected these directly to WT server on RPI3+ and set forth attempting to find out how to make them work. pi@gw-randine13:~ $ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id After much fuzz I finally have contact with the ConBeeII. Aeotec Stick 7 fails - NOT listed as supported, so if responding differently from Stick-5, this may be the cause of problems. For putting these adapters to work I have one zwave and several zigbee sensors available for testing. Both adapters complains at ERROR level with multiple lines like shown below. No idea whether this might have consequences for decoding and notification later. 2024-03-13 18:05:34.089 ERROR : zwave-adapter: strict mode: missing type "object" for keyword "properties" at "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WebThingsIO/gateway-addon-ipc-schema/master/messages/definitions.json#/allOf/1" (strictTypes) Example - Water Leak sensor - DEBUG = 'property' - no change in graphics 2024-03-14 21:02:17.067 INFO : zigbee-adapter: zb-540f57fffe85c958-leak-sensor property: on profileId: 0104 endpoint: 1 clusterId: 0500 value: true zoneStatus: 0x5 2024-03-14 21:02:21.374 INFO : zigbee-adapter: zb-540f57fffe85c958-leak-sensor property: on profileId: 0104 endpoint: 1 clusterId: 0500 value: false zoneStatus: 0x4 // GHo |
As a first attempt, I updated my current 1.1 gateway to 1.2.0-alpha.1 which was successful. Following the restart, my previously configured "things" were not visible (known issue). However, they appeared on a subsequent full reboot. However, no attributes are displayed. no actions are available, rules are not visible, and logs are not displayed. Removing things appears to work (they disappear) but do not appear to be correctly flushed from the configuration as all Zigbee devices are immediately ready to be re-added, even though they are offline (powered down in some cases) and were not put back into pairing status. Deleting an IKEA Tradfri smart plug caused it to turn on! The good news is that the "Systeminfo" and "Power settings" add-ons appear to be working. "Square theme" was also active but does not have much impact on functionality. I tested creating a group and moving things (temperature monitors) into the new group, deleted the group and the things were back in general collection. No testing done with Z-Wave at this stage. Will flash a clean install to a new SD card and test again adding things one by one.
