I recently upgraded my rasperry pi from wheezy + pilight 7.0 + pilight-webgui 7.0 + Kernel 4.1.19+

to jessie + pilight 8.0.4 + pilight-webgui 8.3 + Kernel 4.9.70+

My raspberry model:

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep Revision
Revision        : 000e

Revision     Release Date     Model     PCB Revision     Memory     Notes
000e         Q4 2012          B         2.0               512 MB     (Mfg by Sony)
so I assume, the following setting for gpio-platform to be correct

Code:

"gpio-platform": "raspberrypi1b2"

after reading many of the posts, I was not able to get any pilight v8.0 with kernel 4.9.70+ running and had to downgrade back to

Code:

sudo apt-get install pilight-webgui=7.5 pilight=7.0.67-g960219e
sudo rpi-update 52241088c1da59a359110d39c1875cda56496764

jessie + pilight 7.0.67-g960219e + pilight-webgui 7.5 + Kernel 4.4.50+

any idea, on which part I should focus next, to end up with up-to-date kernel and pilight-version?
I'm completely lost (but happy, that at least everything is running again, so I can control my devices with pilight)

thanks for any hint!!!

Can you use code tags as described in the forum rules.

Can you use code tags as described in the forum rules.

did some re-formatting - hope it is better readable!

So, 8.0.4. didn't work, but why not? What was the error?
And, 7.0.67 also didn't work, but why not? What was the error?

7.0.67 IS working - but only with kernel 4.4!

To provide meaningful errors - which is the better approach:
- should I first try to upgrade to kernel 4.9 and stay with pilight 7.0.67
- or should I try to upgrade to pilight 8.0.4 and stay with kernel 4.4?
none of theses two options work ...

thanks for your support!

Doesn't matter, i just want to see error messages stating why pilight doesn't start.

after

Code:

sudo rpi-update

and kernel upgrade to 4.9.73+, pilight 7.0.67-g960219e is not working any longer:

Code:

sudo pilight-daemon -D
[...]
[Jan 01 23:14:41:315464] pilight-daemon: ERROR: hardware not supported
[Jan 01 23:14:41:318984] pilight-daemon: DEBUG: garbage collected wiringX library
[Jan 01 23:14:41:321945] pilight-daemon: ERROR: could not initialize 433gpio hardware module
[...]

Upgrade to pilight 7.0.194-gadc4c79 works perfect:

Code:

sudo apt-get install pilight-webgui=7.5 pilight=7.0.194-gadc4c79

So for me the "kernel"-issue seems to be solved!

But the moment I upgrade to latest pilight version

Code:

sudo apt-get install pilight-webgui=8.3 pilight=8.0.4

the web-gui is still working, no errors in /var/log/pilight.err, but the devices are not reacting any longer  

Code:

I am using the following protocols:

Code:

grep protocol /etc/pilight/config.json|sort -u
                       "protocol": [ "elro_400_switch" ],
                       "protocol": [ "intertechno_old" ],
                       "protocol": [ "kaku_dimmer" ],

Any ideas?

[curlymo]

Wat does your config look like?

Hello,

This days i had the same problems. After upgrade to 8.0.4 (from 8.0.3) all my switches doesn't work :-( 
After hours of testing and asking goolge i decide to downgrade.
That was a big problem, because the removing doesn't work fine.
After that i installed the RPI3 kompletly new and i installed pilight=8.0.3 pilight-webgui=8.2
And now everything works fine again.
I hope that is interesting for you.

Greetings from Germany
