Where can I find the instructions for proper method of installing updates? #452

Closed EnGamma closed 1 year ago

EnGamma commented 1 year ago

I've been trying out the last 3 beta releases over the last couple of weeks, most recently 1.4.0 Beta 5. Each time I make a backup under Maintenance, then unzip the new linux-arm zip on my Raspberry Pi, overwriting the last version. Then I run ./HomeGenie from within the homegenie directory and do a backup restore. I'm prompted for a backup during the startup screen and I select it, but it does not seem to recreate my dashboard with the modules widgets I've installed. I then try a restore from back from Maintenance menu and that seems to work, but still no widgets for my devices. It also starts to install modules, showing the Rocket Man graphic, but usually hangs here.

Please help with install/upgrade instructions. I've looked all around, but cannot find them.

Do you mind sending your backup file so I can try to restore and see what happen? The dashboards should be automatically recreated from "Groups" during the installation/restore process. Anyway you should see an "Import from server" button if there are no dashboards defined in the client.

Another way to recreate a dashboard from server groups is from "Settings->Groups".

Schermata del 2023-01-07 00-50-06

Server's groups are a separate thing from client's dashboards. Each client can have its own dashboards. Soon it will be possible to save clients configuration so that restoring dashboards will be just a matter of a click.

The latest release v1.4.0-beta.7 now reports in the maintenance page whenever an update is available. Also installing updates from there should work now.

genemars commented 1 year ago

Oops. There is a typo in the modules.xml and it can't be parsed. Fixing now... =) I will push a new release in the next few minutes.

genemars commented 1 year ago

Well, It's not that. The modules.xml is fine. But it happened to me also installing the v1.4.0-beta.7 on my RPi 2. But it just happened once. I delete the homegenie folder and unzipped and run again and it worked, it didn't hang on the launching animation. I will look in to this later I guess. In the meantime, @EnGamma , let me know if latest release works for you.

EnGamma commented 1 year ago

Here is one of the back up files. Thanks.

Responded to first message. Just seeing this message. Will try again with deleting homegenie folder.

Ok I just noticed too, there is a bug in the update system. It actually downloads the platform agnostic update archive but it doesn't work because it should download the platform specific update archive ( linux-arm in this case). I will fix this as well =) you can still download and install manually. Next release will have both fixes. Thanks for pointing this out.

genemars commented 1 year ago

All issues mentioned in this thread should be now fixed by 1.4.0-beta.9 release.

The procedure for installing/upgrading to new HG is the following:

After unzipping run homegenie from terminal:

cd homegenie
./HomeGenie

On some configuration it is required to run HomeGenie with a user that have permissions to access the serial port and USB devices (e.g. sudo ./HomeGenie for Linux-based systems).

Old HG 1.3 backup files should be 95% compatible and can be restored either in the initial setup or later from maintenance page.

Things that won't work from HG 1.3:

After installing new HomeGenie it is possible to upgrade to new releases from the UI, but (for now) a manual restart is required in some cases and HomeGenie will quit after the upgrade process is completed, so simply rerunHomeGenie. It's also possible to create a shell script that automatically re-run HomeGenie after it quits.

EnGamma commented 1 year ago

@genemars

  1. Maintenance=>Update is still not quite right. I'm on beta8, but update is showing an update is available, but it shows beta8 as the available update, not beta9, which is now available. I saw this earlier with an earlier beta update as well.
  2. Also, I see your comments about HG 1.3 being 95% compatible, but my HG 1.3 backups are flatly rejected as invalid backup files (or some words to that effect). So I've not been able to restore from any old HG 1.3 backups at all.
  3. Also, FYI, I'm still trying to troubleshoot my CM15 not being found at all for X10. Probably a port issue, but I've not sorted it out.

@EnGamma

genemars commented 1 year ago
  1. My comment is about 1.4.0-beta.9 so you should install that version in order to fix
  2. Unless you send ma a backup file that I can fix, I will continue to state it's 95% compatible :)) So if you want to help, send me a backup file
  3. It's already mentioned in the old docs, for USB devices you need to install libusb and run as sudo 
    # X10 CM15 Home Automation interface
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev
EnGamma commented 1 year ago

@genemars

Here is my HG 1.3 backup that fails to restore in 1.4 beta9. I get error notification box, "Not a valid backup file"

20211018.homegenie_backup_config.zip

genemars commented 1 year ago

So the problem is due to a python script which is included in the backup file. I will fix the error and let the backup file be imported anyway, but python programs are deprecated in HG 1.4 and they won't work. I see this python script is for Firecracker X10. Maybe it can be convert it to C# or even JavaScript.
