Comfort UPNP <-> SmartThings <-> Amazon Echo

Hi All

So the new version can be downloaded from this link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4178...0a.img.zip

A quick disclaimer (and as a result of Paul\'s observation) - I have been in the office today, so whilst I have tested the fix remotely by VPN\'ing into my test environment, I have repackaged it by mounting the distribution image on a linux machine, popping in the changes and then saving them out. I haven\'t actually written an SD Card using this image myself so there is an outside risk it won\'t mount properly.

Please give it a go and let me know how you get on - my wife has a cold so suspect i\'ll be looking after the kids (and her) this evening and won\'t get chance to test this disk image until tomorrow.

The feedback you have both given me today has been invaluable - one of the things which caught me out is how windows and linux differ in their use of CR/LF. All the work I do is on OSX and Linux and had overlooked this obvious gotcha.

It\'s worth mentioning the text file editing will be the next thing to go - I want allow the configuration to be edited directly in the web gui and will make this happen for the next release.

Thanks,

Matt

Its working :-)
Haven\'t tried the new functionality yet but it looks like I am up and running to at least where I was previously.
Great work Matt - well done!

Let me know how you get on with it,

Thanks,

Matt

As there has been much interest in this subject, I have created a new forum Comfort RPi, and have moved this post into it

Please feel free to create new topics here, instead of adding to this post

Hi Matt.
I too have just written the 1.0.0.a image, booted it up, and everything looks fairly hunky-dory.  I\'ve uploaded the config file and the CCLX file (both with share enabled).
I tried to do the registration process, but when I filled in the pane, the Register button does not seem to do anything.. - I just kept on clicking it, and it kept on doing nothing... (apologies if you\'ve now received a dozen odd registrations from me...)
I started the service, and it appears to be running...
Now I guess I need to read some instructions to see what I need to do next.. hock:
Cheers.

OK, no doubt this is an embarrassingly obvious newbie question, but I am unashamedly a smartthings newbie.. - I just got the hub a week or two ago, did basic setup with the smartthings app on my phone, and put it on the shelf... That\'s it... never heard of a smartthings web portal as referred to in the instructions... what\'s the URL for that? - perhaps in a future version you could mention it in the documentation, or better still, put a link to it on the http://alpha-uhai.local/smartthings/ page in the UI...

Cheers!

You should try to develop some basic knowledge of the IDE as it\'s fundamental to getting the most out of ST particularly the community written devices, smartapps, etc. It\'s definitely not a steep learning curve but some things not so obvious.

Hi Paul

Can you send me your serialnumber - that will help me understand what is going on with registration?

Thanks,

Matt

[Pgordon]

Sure. 
Serial Num: 000000008fedacd0

Slight issue following the instructions... as you can see from the pic, I don\'t have the \"My Apps\" selection in the app on my phone... I checked in the \"More...\" section too... it isn\'t there either...

No doubt I\'ve done something wrong... or does it perhaps need some time to elapse between publishing and the items appearing there?

Everything up to that point went pretty much as per the instructions said...

Cheers
