[solved]Wanted Howto see pimatic version in gui

---

don’t worry.
But I guess it’s working now?

@leader21 Just about…

For future references it would be handy to maybe create a single how-to post and stick it to the top of this conversation?? It’s kinda easy to miss things when they are spread along a post! (just my 50C)

Yes you are absolutely right! Was thinking about that too but haven’t done it till now. Will do so to get things straight.

@leader21 Well, maybe a new forum sub-category was born this way, an “Examples” category??

having it here

Here you go
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1502/update-notification-and-changelog-for-pimatic-and-homeduino

everything fully explained

@leader21
many thanks for your Update and Notification Tutorial. It’s verry good. But I have one thing from what I think you have to add because Linux noobs can get in trouble.
You have to make the bash skript exucable:

chmod +x homeduino-online-installer.sh

Then I have become a few errors because my pimatic-app folder is not /home/pi/pimatic-app/ but in /home/pimatic-app/.
I don’t know why this is so… I have changed it in the config but I have always two errors:

error [pimatic]: rule homeduino-changelog-request error executing an action: Command failed: error { defaultMessage: 'Gateway Timeout',
  message: '504: Gateway Timeout',
  code: '504' }
stack 504: Gateway Timeout
    at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/github-changes/node_modules/github/index.js:779:26)
    at ClientRequest.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:92:17)
    at Socket.emitTimeout (http.js:1797:10)

    at Socket._onTimeout (net.js:327:8)
    at Timer.unrefTimeout [as ontimeout] (timers.js:412:13)

2. In the windows where the pimatic and homeduino changelog should stand cames only an error:

Pimatic Cangelog
Not Found

The requested URL /files/home/pi/pimatic-changelog.log was not found on this server.

Thx for the information . I will add this!
The gateway timeout is due too the limited api requests at github. See above, there is an explanation. After An hour the limit will be resetted.

The 2nd issue seems to be a path error or a spelling issue at a rule due to cangelog does not exist, an h is missing. Could be that the logfile cannot be created since the path directory does not exist.

Thanks for your Answer.

I found the 2th issue, my Pimatic runs on Port 8080

Now all works fine.

nice to hear!

Hey guys,

I have followed the awesome tutorial and it works almost perfectly.

Here is what I found: the error message Error: API rate limit exceeded for came almost instantly, but it’s gone now.

The curl for pimatic-version-git and homeduino-version-git didn’t work:
curl -s https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic/blob/master/package.json | grep version | grep span | awk -F\\> {'print $11'} | awk -F\\< {'print $1'}\n
resulted in
-bash: {print $11}: Keine Berechtigung -bash: {print $1}n: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

I have replaced the command with the following, since we are using node anyway:
node -pe 'JSON.parse(process.argv[1]).version' "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimatic/pimatic/master/package.json)"\n

The only thing I can’t get to work is the iframes. When I add the devices in the GUI, simply nothing happens and this is in the logs:
2016-06-06 19:55:06error [pimatic-mobile-frontend]: Client error: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Does anybody else had problems with the iframe devices?

pimatic 0.8.107
pimatic-homeduino: 08.83

Cheers,
Dominik

did you install the filevrowser plugin?

Yes, it’s installed and I can see the information when I access them directly from the browser.

I have cleaned up the groups and pages configuration and re-added the devices with the GUI and it seems to be working now, aside from (yet again) that API rate limit message.

Thanks for your work, much appreciated

You’re welcome!
This app limit sucks It usually only occurs when starting pimatic too often (eg. after some changes or updates).
But the error will disappear after an hour since the limit will be resetted then.

New attributeAcronym ShellSensor device option is available if you want to put a V before your version number.

 "attributeAcronym": "V",

Hello,
I changed my gui today.
But now have a few questions

1. how do I get as in the picture the current system time and date?
   (https://usercontent.pimatic.org/827222b73c2ed8e88d81690b55bbbbb830ad6916/687474703a2f2f7777772e796f7573637265656e2e64652f7177777a756c75716637332e6a7067)

2. in my picture you can see the homeduino “UPDATE TO v0.8.85” update but it is 0.9.11 installed what I have done wrong now?

3. he does not show me pimatic version
   (http://img218.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=854368882_pima_122_804lo.jpg)

4. at the pimatic changelog is nothing synonymous, under this path “home / pi / pimatic-changelog.log” is also no file see picture
   (http://img219.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=854369469_poima2_122_902lo.jpg)

Thx

ok, i had to rework this.
so to answer the questions regarding the update info first :

2.) please change the then part of the rule homeduino changelog requestas follows
execute "sudo github-changes -o pimatic -r pimatic-homeduino -b v0.9.x -f /home/pi/CHANGELOG-HOMEDUINO.md && head -23 /home/pi/CHANGELOG-HOMEDUINO.md | tail -20 | awk '-F)' \{'print \$2'\} | sed 's/(//g' > /home/pi/homeduino-changelog.log"

3.) check the spellings in the Pimatic-Version shell sensor
command: cat /home/pi/pimatic/node_modules/pimatic-app/package.json |grep version\": |awk {'print $2'}|sed 's/,//g' |sed 's/"//g'

4.) pls. check the spellings and create the logfile with touch pimatic-changelog.log

ANOTHER thing to be changed is the homeduino-verson-git shellsensor device.
this device is checking the github v0.9 tree for the actual version of the homeduino plugin.
command : curl -s https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-homeduino/blob/v0.9.x/package.json | grep version | grep span | awk -F\> {'print $11'} | awk -F\< {'print $1'}

all codework has been cheanged on pastebin too. so if you need a summary check here http://pastebin.com/Z8TjfcvD

1.) there are different possibilities. the easiest one is to create a shell sensor with a date command
check here https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/642/date-time-device

the date device shown in the picture is created by a shell sensor which calls a python device.
here’s the code

#!/usr/bin/env python

# import time module
import time
import locale

# set language
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.utf8')
#locale.setlocale (locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE')

# print current date and time
print(time.strftime("%A %d.%m.%Y - %H:%M Uhr"))

save this as date.py and call it every minute via shell sensor

    {
      "id": "datetime",
      "name": "Datum und Uhrzeit",
      "class": "ShellSensor",
      "attributeName": "time",
      "attributeType": "string",
      "attributeUnit": "",
      "command": "sudo python /home/pi/date.py",
      "interval": 60000
    },

thanks all done !
its perfekt

Hello everybody,
has something changed on the server?
He always shows me an older version of the homeduino version. (see the screenshot)

Have checked the rules and the log file times empty, but he always pulls the wrong display.

Hi,
i have the same.
