New Plugin Version

Hey there.. just download the new plugin version.. My Lifx has been pretty stable aside from the no ACK messages that happen... which in the end is not a big deal. Is there something in particular you'd like texted with the new version? Any new features you'd like feedback on? Otherwise, I'll poke around and see how things are working. I only have 2 strips and 1 bulb, usually working in concert together.

Re: New Plugin Version

Thanks for testing. :)

I am mainly interested in how it handles no acks for you and as to whether you see an improvement.

There are three new states added to each Indigo LIFX device, namely:
  • total_no_ack_events - number of times LIFX device went into a no ack state.
  • total_recovery_attempts - the number of times the plugin attempted to recover from a communication problem with the LIFX device.
  • total_successful_recoveries - The number of times the communication problem was successfully recovered.
It may take several recovery attempts before a successful recovery is achieved.

Also there are three new actions:
  • Print All Recovery Totals - outputs totals to Indigo Event Log.
  • Reset All Recovery Totals - Zeroes all totals for all Indigo LIFX devices.
  • Reset Recovery Totals - Zeroes totals for selected Indigo LIFX device.
So with the above states and actions, you can get an overview on how well your LIFX devices are handling communication issues.
