Android: Switches do not update correctly

[s0129]

On android switches with multiple mappings do not update when pressed. This works correctly on the http version.
An example is the android Demo 'Discrete Widgets'.
Switch item=Scene_General label="Scene" mappings=[1=TV, 2=Dinner, 3=Reading]
If you select Dinner the UI is not updated until the app is closed and then reopened.

This is not a bug in Android but in REST API of openHAB. To repeat it just use curl:
curl -H "X-Atmosphere-Transport: long-polling" -H "Accept: application/xml" http://demo.openhab.org:8080/rest/sitemaps/demo/0301
And then try to click widgets in demo.openhab.org/widget overview page of classic UI - nothing will happen to this long polling request.

I can reproduce this against the demo server, but not against my local 1.4.0 installation.

Strangely, I can't reproduce it on release which I just downloaded either, though, there are lost events and group items sometime are not updated with values, this particular issue can't be reproduce. smee204, can you confirm that you use the 1.4.0 release of openHAB and latest HABDroid from Google Play?

I am currently running from github master (fetched a few weeks ago) with
the latest android app. I was using 1.4.0 but can't remember if this issue
happened on that version. I have just tried rolling back to 1.4.0 but the
openhab android app force closes everytime it opens. Must be a problem with
my configuration. Unfortunately I wont get any time to look at this until
next week.

I will update you when I get a chance to roll back to 1.4.0 properly and I
will also try updating to the current master.

I'm developing binding for HDL/SmartBus system and I see this issue with android app.

Web UI works like a charm: if I click on/off the light goes on or off and UI element displays correct state. If I switch the light on or off via hardware switch, the web UI reacts like it should.

However, in android app it looks like this:
The light is off, android app displays off.
I click the on/off button and the light goes to on (binding gets ON command). Android UI displays ON state and then goes back to OFF quickly. If I click it again, it goes to ON again (binding gets ON command once more) and stays in ON state. If I click it another one time, it will send OFF command to binding and display OFF state (the light goes off as well).
If I change the element state from web UI or via physical button, android app doesn't display the state change at all.

I can confirm that I don't get this problem if I download the 1.4.0 release
from openhab downloads page.
It seems to be a problem when using the version I got from github master a
few weeks ago.

Closing it. Feel free to reopen if it reoccurs.

Hi andrey-desman.

How is it going on the HDL/SmartBus binding?

I'm still having this issue using openHAB 1.6 and android version 1.5.1.1. Is there any resolution to this?

[mauroMCW]

same issue for me, suddenly hadroid can't update devices status.
Web front-end via browser works fine.
Habdroid works only if I click on "Clear images cache" or exit and enter again in the application.
No logs related to this issue on openhab.log.
I tried to delete all habdroid data, reboot the terminal and reinstall the application.

I have 22 items in habdroid home page. I don't know if that can interfere.
Openhab Version 1.6.2
Habdroid Versio 1.5.1,1
Android Lollipop

[kobelka]

I have the same problems as mauroMCW

[mauroMCW]

Fixed restarting openhab service on server side.

[aaronsutton]

Restarting the service does not correct this issue for me. For me, it
wasn't that this issue suddenly surfaced, I've never had the switches
update properly.

[belovictor]

This is a problem with openHAB updates, not with the app.

[aaronsutton]

This issue still exists for me with openHAB 1.7. Is it resolved in 2.0?

[brunoabele]

Same problem on openHAB 1.7.1 with HabDroid 1.7.0.1, web interface work fine

[1technophile]

same problem on 1.7.0 with habdroid

[stefanst]

same problem with 1.7.1 and Habdroid. Web UI works fine.
Did some more testing:

• Running the server on my Win7 box results in the app updating properly
• Running the server with the same configuration on my Raspberry Pi2 leads to the issue with the Android app not updating

The Web UI works well for both servers- Win7 and Raspbian.
