New beta release! V20090507.0
All reported bugs solved.

Where can you find the version of the software you are proesnetly using ?

@Reinder: As in the other beta releases, this beta release still contains a bug on the webserver API. The Appliance.Module.TypeText returns an object instead of a string describing the type of module.

@ jheerink, the version can be found at the right up (next to the button "schedules"), in the blue top/line. It's written in blue numbers. It's hard to see.

@rklootwijk, strange I thought it was solved. I will ask.

Tonight I examined all of my modules in the Source. One of the modules reported a current power usage of 0 while the device, a wireless access point, was turned on. Previously the device reported a continues usage of 7 watt as does my other exact same wireless router. It turned out that since saturday april 4th, no power usage has been reported. Guess what, april 4th was the release of the first beta version of the Source. I deleted the device and created a new device which I could not give the same name because the Source complained that a device with this name already exists. So I used another name and connected the specific circle to this new device. I thought the statistics of the circle would be bound to this new device, but no statistics are available for this device.

Thanks Reiner i found it
(the schoolversion is now V20081110 i applied for a new
beta for this system yesterday.


and an other question
when i push [vernieuwen] on the source the [V] on the stick symbol left bottom starts flashing and there is a time displayed which changes rapidly What does this indicate (I see as example 0:23 then 1:34 2:01 0:34 and changing numbers for a while then it stops.

New beta release! V20090512.0
All reported bugs should be solved.

Finaly appliance.module.typetext returns the correct value;-)

I applied for a beta including my serial. Today after starting up the source, an update was available. It started with a system crash when it tried to backup data, but installation continued. After restart, the schedules of the previous version were changed, some reverted to an earlier scghedule that had been removed some days ago, strange, and some plugs (the stealths i installed the last) were not visible. I started out with changing and adjusting the schedules , which worked ok, and sent them to the plugs. That seemed to work, time will tell if they behave as programmed.
Then i tried to add the missing plugs (4 stealths) In the list with plugs the stealths showed up,automatically, and then i had to add info of them, when i did with the first one,the software informed that the name already existed and the programm hung. I had to do to a restart of the programm (CTRL ALT DEL) and then restart. The first stealth was now visible and i had to do the same to add the other stealths. Program hung several times, and after the 3d restart it missed 13 plugs again, but the info i previously entered (room type etc) was still there so reentry went quick . Finally all plugs and stealth were accounted for (39) and it seems to work ok. version info 20090507.0
So not a very smooth transfer took over an hour to get the system up and running again, hopefully this will not happen too often ,and i hope this version is bugfree, time will tell.

What i also noticed on the previous (non beta) version was that when starting it, sometimes to small popup windows showed up in the color/style the plugwise source software with some numbers in it They disappeared after few seconds and then programm started up normally.

hmmm strange.
My (beta) version is V20090512.0
It looks like you have the wrong version.

I checked for update, there is none. Later this evening we tried to install some new stealths, after pushing the add plugs button, the source started and we added the new plugs on the list, it took a long time (30+ min} and then it found 20 out of 40 plugs, the old version always easily found them all, and we had to put all info of the retrieved plugs in again. Could be because the new software also has a new category in it, that it needs to update it (the type of room info, which is infact only valid for private homes, there are no office catergories in it, so useless for us)Finally we had 20 plugs online including the new ones tomorrow we check if we can get the others back. So far trouble some installation of this beta

Today it finally updated to 20090512, and although it took al long time and several crashes it finally has all the plugs and stealths in and is working now. The version i use at home updated today also to 20090512 but expierenced no problems and had a smooth upgrade
