Blankness is due to dim level went to 0% after update to 0.7.15.
This applies to both FW 2.0 and 1.13.2. Easy fix, raise the dim level back.

Now new issue. On 1.13.2 Button+ is working fine with two pages.

But with the FW 2.0 both pages are display at the same time:

Will PM you the configuration applied to both devices.

And even thou those are screenshots from the web interface, that is also on the actual device.

And I did a factory reset to the FW 2.0 device after the upgrade and only then uploaded the configuration from Homey to it.

If you use devices on page 0 it will be on every other page in the same configuration. I also heard that you might need to save the configuration again to add some data in the configuration (but not sure if it also applies to the displaypart of the configuration).

I am on fw 2 and 0.7.15 and use page 0 for showing time, pagenumber and temperature. They show nicely on page 1, 2 and 3. But that is not overlapping with the information on page 1, 2 and 3.

It is strange that it did work on the previous fw, and not on the newer since the pages functionality isn’t new for the display part.

Fixed the config manually by moving the content to pages 1 and 2 for a quick fix. The update should have done it on it’s own this change but didn’t. @Adrian_Rockall has my configuration and will have a look on the conversion why it didn’t happen.

I have published a new test version and requested it goes live.

I had a check in the main app that incremented the display page for old configurations before sending them to the display, but I had forgotten to put a fix up in the actual configuration page, but, unfortunately, it did update the configuration version number. Therefore, if you have already saved an old configuration in the version 0.7.15, you will need to manually increment the page numbers if you see items overlapping on the display.
Very sorry for any inconvenience that may cause but I have backed myself into a corner as there is no way to know if the configuration has been manually changed.
Version 0.7.16 will automatically update any old configurations saved in versions prior to 0.7.15, so provided you haven’t saved them in 0.7.15 you will be OK.

I have also put a check in for the brightness so if it is set to zero when the device starts up, it is set 50%.

After the problem with button bars going blank, I decided to factory reset and configure button+ with the page option from FW 2. I works great so far with one problem outstanding : the flowcard to change the page index seems not to be working. Am I doing something wrong? I have 4 pages configured (1-4) and are not using page 0 due to the earlier mentioned display problems.

I was wondering why my Button+ constantly shows 15 degrees Celsius. I have already updated the firmware from 1.13.3 to 2.0.0, reset it and restored it to factory defaults. Nothing has helped. Now I have noticed that my second Button+ (still firmware 1.13.3) also shows a constant temperature instead of the actual one. This has been happening since Friday around 9 PM. According to the timeline, the app was automatically updated to version 0.7.16 on Friday at 8:57 PM. This is obviously a bug in the app. When can we expect a fix?

Best regards!

Thanks for your bug report in this topic. I would like to inform you that the person (Adrian) who makes this app does an extraordinary amount to maintain and update the app for the 2.0 firmware. All for free and on their own time. Maybe it would be good to lower expectations towards Adrian. Especially considering the health of Adrian’s wife. Sorry, had to put this out there.

I will look into it ASAP.
I can confirm that I am seeing the same issue, so hopefully it shouldn’t take too long to track it down. I will try to find time this evening.

Thank you very much for the hint. I am well aware of the effort and the voluntarily donated time, and I am truly very grateful for it. I was just wondering because I couldn’t find anything about this issue.

@Adrian_Rockall: I wish your wife all the best and would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for the outstanding work in developing the app!

Temperature should be fixed in the new version.

Both Button+ displays are now showing the correct temperature again. Thank you very much for the really quick fix!

Best regards!

The app seems to be crashing here after update to 0.7.17 @Adrian_Rockall. It says: app not installed, also after restarting the app:



I send you a log with number f79eaed6-54eb-4c9b-bf68-0a297fc17d27
The unavailability of the device doesn’t let me send a log from within the device… :frowning:

I haven’t seen that before. Normally, if there’s an issue it would say it’s not running.
The log has nothing in it.
I will ask Athom if they have any ideas.

Thanks @Adrian_Rockall.
Haven’t seen such a thing before as well.
A normal Homey restart didn’t help, but now I did a PtP and now the app seems to start and the device is working again…

Ok, so maybe i think to complex… but how does that ā€œpageā€ function work in the new firmware with B+? can’t find out what i must do with that? have someone a example of an flow with page number in it?

You just set the page numbers in the buttons/display configuration and then the Button + takes care of switching pages, so no Flow required.

Hi Adrian,

yesterday Sonos homey app came with a update which now showing which radio station you lister to and what song is being played provided it is displayed by the station. Now the radio station here sometimes changes and sometimes I get to see the song being played and sometimes not.

I noticed that if no song is shown in the Tag: Track (speaker_track) of the sonos speaker that the buttonplus shows Zero. (see picture) Photo: Radio veronica = Radio station this displays correctly from a tag: artist (speaker_artist) from the sonos speaker.

If I read the tag Speaker_track itself in a variable for example it displays nothing and is thus empty.

for the display configuration I use the sonos device itself with the function/Tag : Track (speaker_track) and Artiest (Speaker_artist). The 2 tags Speaker_artist and Speaker_track are set as different items in the same configuration.

Can this also be set in buttonplus? so if there is nothing to display that he showing nothing on buttonplus instead of the Null (zero).

for the display configuration I use the sonos device itself with the function/Tag : Track (speaker_track).

thanks you in advance for the help and answer!

I will take a look this evening.

So, just checking, is the only issue replacing null with an empty space?

If that is all then I have fixed it and will publish a new version.
