MySensors 1.5 Released

[oded00]

What is the best practice to upgrade from 1.4?
i'm using vera

As said above.. you don't need to update everything in one big bang unless you want to use the new features. Add new sensors with the updated library if you want.

@hek seems there is something to correct http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1729/updated-support-to-serial-version-1-5

@epierre

Already talked to @John. Will update documentation more clearly that V_DIMMER and V_LIGHT has been deprecated for the more general wording V_PERCENTAGE and V_STATUS.

The old sketches will still work fine as I've introduced an alias.

@hek, @epierre

I think i was too fast with committing my updates which creates new downloads automatically (sorry if it was too quick), so I had to do a post just in case of some "eager to update" user i have.

Very nice. How do I find out how the new sensor types work? Specifically the RGB and RGBW sensors.
I've browsed through the source code but haven't found it yet. What file should I be looking into?

[gbfromhb]

Very cool. The timing was perfect. I was just about to jump into the deep end and start deploying the development branch. Thanks everyone for the hard work.

@sebas

Guess I'll have to toss an RGB example together some day. But basically the payload should be a ascii hex string describing the color components. I.e "FF0000" for red.

I'm trying to burn the gateway but i get this:

/Users/Wiebe/Documents/Arduino/libraries/MySensors/MyGateway.cpp:13:30: fatal error: utility/MsTimer2.h: No such file or directory
 #include "utility/MsTimer2.h"
                              ^
compilation terminated.

No worries, thanks for clarifying

I have to say, the documentation for the update to 1.5 was done very well... thanks to you and whomever else assisted.

nice work!

:thumbsup:

[hek]

Thanks, but still room for improvements. :)

@Anticimex is currently deploying a jenkins build-server to automate builds of the examples for different platforms when things get pushed to github. Makes it much easier to keep up the quality.

This will also allow automatic doxygen documentation and perhaps a bit of a rearrangement of the repository layout which isn't optimal (except when downloading/installing).

@hek I have updated my gateway but should the vera say plugin version 1.5? Or is the plugin version still 1.4? Im confused

[rvendrame]

Mine says

Plugin Version:1.4
Lib Version: 1.5

So I guess the 'plugin' refers to the lua/xml/json files in Vera.

The oficial page points to Github. If dates are correct there, it seems nothing was changed recently (except by the HVAC device).

@rvendrame

I got it working now, thank you

[hek]

Haven't bumped plugin version. No major things changed over there.
