2.3.8 Very Stable, but HomeKit not perfect
Posted: 26 Jan 2019 15:31
I think that this stable as it is now, it has never been.
But the problem with broken SD-cards is still a problem. I have to change after about 6 months, and that´s becoming a cost I don´t want to have.
Is there a good solution to make the pi/z-way to do some of the writing to a USB-stick or NAS instead? I believe it has something with the amount of writing to the SD-card to do, and know it is a well known problem.
And connection to HomeKit seems a bit better too. Not perfect but on its way.
It seems that for example "Virtual Rain sensor" is supported but looses it after a while. Same with Weather Conditions like WetherUnder ground, it can also work for a while, but fail later. They become "not supported", even though they have been working for several days.
It is also a problem with HomeKit that it fails when you add a new device to the z-wave network or make any changes as names on them.
And if you make a reboot on AppleTv and/or iPad it almost always fail the whole connection. And when that happens you have to do delete home and reconnect it and start all over from the beginning in HomeKit.
Before it always failed when rebooting ATV/iPad, but now, not always.
And if you delete it, you have to change name in HomeKit-app/Z-way app, in both "Name" and "Name as it apears in HomeKit
But you are on the right way
