Mon Sep 29

Lots of talk on the lightwaverf forum about how everything has stopped working. There is an update to the firmware for the wifi link (the box that plugs into your router and translates signals from network traffic to radio signals for the switches and sockets) that they've done for the new heating controls, but while they were in there they've broken something. They've updated the official app at the same time so that possibly still works, but most people don't use it. It's sounding like all of my code might stop working when I get the firmware update (which they pump out automatically without asking, bad move).

I think I updated in order to keep it working last night but need to write more tests before I publish ¹.

UPDATE: I published, it's live, all working good with the new lightwaverf firmware.

If you're still having problems, get in touch with lightwaverf support, and ask them to fix you.

UPDATE UPDATE: Moved all of my Lightwaverf code to the new lightwaverf api which is rewritten in javascript instead of ruby.

Anyone still using lightwaverf? Please get in touch, email at this domain or try me on the twitter, details below ².

Removed old rubygems.org/gems/lightwaverf link here.
Were there really details below on a previous design of this page? I don't remember that. On the twitter I am @pauly. Do get in touch if you're still using lightwaverf as I have stopped and removed nearly all of mine, the wifi link has been unplugged and I mostly moved to IKEA zwave or zigbee or whatever it is. I have loads of lightwaverf kit for sale in theory, I just haven't got round to putting it on ebay yet

javascript: Programming language of the web, mostly how I earn a wage.
