Error "Could not parse state change body. Light state not changed." on all my devices.

-> http://name:[email protected]/api/callAction?deviceID=xx&name=turnOn

Nothing works.

[bwssytems]

@toms001 what release were you using previously?

[toms001]

5.2.1 / aptalca / docker-image

[bwssytems]

@toms001 assuming you are still using docker here. I will need to check how the new changes play with docker's IP handling.

[bwssytems]

@toms001 Confirmed, not a docker issue but a code issue. Thanks for testing, new RC2 soon.

Yep, built the ha-bridge with a bad class. new version coming.

[gohamstergo]

Thanks for the update!

This might be a good time to bring up a tiny thing that I didn't want to create a whole new ticket for. Would it be possible to have the 'bridge devices' page remember my preferred sorting? For example, when sorting by ID, name, etc. it would be great if it saved that. Currently, it seems to sort randomly on each page load.

Running 5.2.2RC2

[bwssytems]

@gohamstergo Well, currently with the angular control I use, that would be a ticket for an enhancement.

[gohamstergo]

okie doke, I can create a ticket

Harmony communication does still not work after hub restart here with 5.2.2RC2. Allthough Alexa now confirms "ok" on a Harmony activity nothing happens, it works after a bridge reinit though.
Log shows:

WARN | Send heartbeat failed | net.whistlingfish.harmony.HarmonyClient
then
WARN | Issue in communcicating with Harmony Hub, retrying connect....
but without reinit of ha bridge communication will not pick up again

[bwssytems]

@scholzmichael Thanks for the testing... We are a step further as in the past the reinit would not fix it,

[scholzmichael]

hmmm, at least here the reinit always did the trick immediately, this is why I do a reinit via script 3 times a day, nothing else necesarry.

[bwssytems]

I will look into the harmony issue as I thought I had it internally reinit the plugin.

[BaBa483]

@scholzmichael
would you please share your script to reinit three times a day?
i have the exact same issue and i'm very new to all this stuff :)

Thanks in advance and have a merry christmas to all :)

[scholzmichael]

@BaBa483
actually doing nothing else but sending "IP of HA-Bridge":"Port of HA-Bridge"/system/control/reinit" with put 3 times a day via my Light Manager Air. I had to remove user and password from the HA-Bridge though, did not work if login is required.
Someone did it via Safari's timeline check this thread: #945
Hope you will get it working, and wish everybody here a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
My new NEEO should be ariving soon, looking forward to play arround with my new toy.

Connection retry on XMPP still doesn't work - Alexa now says "OK" on harmony commands but nothing happens. Reinit fixes it.

[bwssytems]

RC4 is now available and should run in most Java Run-times due to the removal of JAXB and also updated Harmony Hub disconnect detection.

[scholzmichael]

Right now: positive feedback to Harmony issue, no fallout up to now (approx. 24h). Will monitor further...on RC4

[bwssytems]

This is now released!
