Blog2014 ≫ There's a lightwaverf breaking firmware update on the way

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 code1 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 publish2.

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 api3 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 below4.

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