Macros
« on: October 28, 2018, 12:01:35 AM »

I have tried several times to record a macro. I even looked in the user guide. And followed the instructions.

When the record macro button is pressed I get the standard record now. I record and then hit save, then I get the wheel of spins forever.

It never stops.

Until I get bored and refresh the screen.

Any ideas?

Though you didnt specify a software I suspect it is HG and if your using a beta test version it may be a bug which should be reported. I recommend checking for an update or revert to the last stable release

Sorry, you are right it is Home Genie.

I am updated to the latest version. I do think I am using a beta release, but I don't know how to check. It is not listed under maintenance.

Click configure then about HomeGenie that will bring up a new window with the version. If your running the newest HG version (and not HomeGenie BE), the latest version is a beta version. The last stable version was  1.1-stable.527

HG is easy to roll back.  Just save a backup of your configuration, uninstall HG, install the version you want, restore backup.  Is it as easy as selecting "roll back"...no.  But then I've never seen any software that allows you to roll back without uninstalling.  I've found this process very quick (well other than saving the backup of my config as RPi compression is slow).

I make regular backups.

I'm not a Linux guy. I want to learn and am trying.  I will try.

Can I guess that I will find it in Synaptics package manger. I can uninstall there? Then do the apt-get thingy to reinstall the stable version?

Uninstall can be done from the command line.  I have it written down somewhere.  I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT1:
I can't search the old HG forum apparently.  I don't see the command mentioned on the HG club forum either.  But, since it's a .deb package, I recall it being a command such as:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get remove homegenie
EDIT2:
I found a link that supports the above command being correct:
