Beta source questions

Post by Bastiaan »

Some questions about the beta version of the plugwise source, I could not find elsewhere:

1. Can I still join the beta test?
2. Do I need to contact the plugwise helpdesk to adjust my license first or can I use the link Reinder gave in the forum to download the software.
3. Is the beta software upgrading my stable version or do I need a fresh install.
4. Can the beta software run side by side on the same machine (with different ports for the webserver)
5.If not is it better to put it on a test machine or is the beta mature enough to replace the original.
6. What are the advantages for the new version? (I found faster switching and the option not to 'call home' )

Running the latest beta here and I did not apply for betatesting. Just downloaded the beta and installed it.

I had to 'fix' the PlugwiseData.mdb access-database though:

After upgrading the 'Created Date' column was empty. The Source did show all devices as being configured in a certain room, but going to the rooms section showed no rooms at all.

After this modification the latest beta is running fine at the moment, though I still have one plug not showing any energy consumption.
