Global Cache Wifi to ir stops working after update to 4.102 firmware

[Jibran 2]

Hello,

 

Global cache stops working After the update of firmware  to 4.102 ( HOME CENTER 2).

I was controlling my Air Conditioner and Tv . After the update ,it stops working.

Does anybody experience ? 

Please tell me any possible solution, or should i wait for the next firmware.?

 

Thankyou

What happened exactly? I had issue in previous versions, that communication has broken after sending few codes to GC iTach Flex.

[Jibran 2]

I have tested my Global Cache wifi to ir device seperately, it is working. When programmed with the fibaro ,it stops working. This behavior Starts when updated to latest firmware 4.102 HC2.

My devices work fine.

Do you send the command as text or LUA in a virtual device? Can we look at the code?

 

In v4.1 update the possibility of sending multiple commands with quick presses of a VD button have been disabled. I have to wait until the command is finished until I can press the button again.

I have the Global Cache IP to IR ~ which one works well in V4.102. 

 

this would be nice again to enable this:  with quick presses of a VD button have been disabled.  in future releases

My Wifi to IR from GC still works perfectly in 4.102. Maybe you should have a look at your VD ? Is it mysteriously missing buttons ?

Sometimes problems with VD's are predicted by buttons disappearing without any cause. Like the On/off button in your picture above or an other button. Then full remake of your VD is the only solution.

Ah, ok.

So you use textbased commands.

For me that have never been 100% reliable.

Sometimes it just doesn't send the command so some commands get sent and some don't..

 

My suggestion is that you change to LUA in your VD, for me that always works 100% and you get feedback from the GC device if there is a problem.

And with that if you get an error you can automatically send the command again.

After i did this i never have issues. I also connect this to a push function so my customers get a push message when something is not right, no response etc etc.

 

Try this code and see what the debug says. (i have removed the Push function, if someone wants it please let me know)

Switch to LUA.

Replace my IR command in the code with variable "GC_command" with your IR command.

 

Remove: "sendir,1:3,1," from your text

Start your command with 37650.

Do not include the end of your command "0X0D0x0A

Ok. I reprogrammed the GC with fibaro and then restarted the home center 2. Now it is working. 

I am now trying your Code ( as you said that this is reliable ) So i will go for it . Will give you feedback very soon.

 

Thankyou

I see a very long code (ON/OFF button). Some GC devices has problems with them. I suggest to try GC compressed codes. We had some problems with long codes in Control4 and compressed codes did the job.

You can easily convert long IR codes using iConvert app from GLobal Cache.

Hello.

 

Here is the Push function and the GC code with Push_Message function:

Its a LUA scene and you have to Create a global variable called "Push_Message".

 

Push Function:

Global Cache code: (Use in VD)

This code requires a global variable called "Push_Message".
