macOS Sequoia (15) issues

Post by jay (support) »

All, my experience hasn't been particularly great with Sequoia installed on a new empty partition (no Time Machine backup, etc, just a completely new install). I'm going to list my issues here and anyone else who finds stuff can add their experiences too. This thread is not meant for reporting Indigo issues (those should go into the appropriate help forum), but rather to show tangental or unrelated issues.

1) My MacBook Pro M1 went to sleep and would not wake up so I had to hold down the power button to force it off then reboot. When it came back, I had a bunch of these errors (like 10 of them):

2) The Silicon Labs driver install hung up with a spinning beachball. Still working on that, but so far I haven't been able to get it to install properly/correctly. This could be a big deal for anyone using a Z-Wave (or other) interface that requires that driver.

3) Safari just decided randomly to take me back to the login page of the forums, and I lost an entire post I was working on. Sigh. BTW, this just happened again, so this seems like it's probably a Safari bug.

So far my Sequoia experience has been.. fairly ok? This is on a base model Mac Studio M1. I’ve not yet experienced an issue with the silabs driver but I’m keeping an eye on it. It did also fix a transcoding issue I was having with my Plex server.

Tbh though.. I don’t really see any point in most people upgrading at this stage. There’s not much it brings vs potential issues.

That said.. I’m utterly loving the new Macintosh screen saver they put in. Whoever designed that clearly has a passion for vintage Apple UI, which I also have. @Jay.. can we get a port of Indigo that’ll run on a IIcx please?

My experience has been hassle free. Upgraded to the official public release on my iMac that the Indigo server runs on without difficulty. Everything (including Z-wave) is performing as before.

FWIW I also have no difficulty accessing Indigo Client from my other machines, a couple of which are running Developer Beat 15.1.

Which z-wave controller are people using? Anyone using the Aeotec Gen 5 stick successfully on Sequoia?

I am, and so far no issues.

So just updated to Sequoia, and so far, so good. My Insteon modem doesn't connect after a re-start of the program, but that's not really anything new. I just unplug it from the wall, and then plug it back in and it works.. and of course, since Indigo runs 24/7 and the computer is on a UPS, that's not really an issue.

Someone asked about Z-Wave sticks...mine is an Aeotec, and again, as far as I can tell, everything is working as it should.... so far.

Haven't run thru everything just yet, so might be something that pops up, but at least both of the interfaces (Z-Wave and Insteon) are working.

Anything new regarding Sequoia?

I'm especially concerned about the SIlabs driver issue, since the huge majority of my stuff is Z-wave. But do all Z-wave dongles use that driver?

But we're continuing to hear about various Sequoia issues. I'd wait at least one more release if it were me.

Note, there hasn't been an update to the Mac drivers yet: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-t ... =downloads

Thought it's possible that a Sequoia update has fixed the issue, I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
