Is the WebCore interface down?


#1

Is webcore down? I can’t access it from the hubitat hub or just going to http://dashboard.wecore.co
I get this error (I have logged out and tried from multiple devices):


#2

I am able to access WC from within the Apps page of Hubitat. I only have a test piston in there tho.


#3

I gave up on webcore on Hubitat a few weeks back after the release of 3.10d. I could never get the dashboard to load after that. Even uninstalling/reinstalling failed to resolve my dashboard issues and I could not locate an older version to install. That and the fact, piston schedules were haphazard on Hubitat. One day it would run but the next day it might not.


#4

Crap! I have so many rules on webCore and now can’t see them to even recreate them…what a mess.

What I have found on HE:

  • if your HE hub crashes/power fails and reboots, you are likely going to need to do a “nice reboot” of the HE hub after it comes back up (nice means HE console -> Settings - “reboot” or equivalent)

    • what I have found is after an “unexpected” restart, that everything does not start properly in HE
  • If you still have a problem you can go into webcore (HE console -> Apps -> webcore) and hit done (this causes this webcore instance to re-register with the webcore servers).

  • I have on occasion found I need to clear caches in your browser (hard clear)

The above get things working if you had a problem (unless webcore servers have a certificate issue)

Thank you @E_Sch!! I had done most of that but a combination of rebooting the hub and hitting “Done” on webcore seems to have fixed it!


#7

Well, I spoke too soon - I can now get webCore to load, but when I click a piston to modify, it just spins and never comes up.


#8

It’s all good! I have uninstalled it at this point and stopped using it. Everything I need is on ST and working well there.

Sorry, just not a fan of Hubitat.


#9

Yes it’s very frustrating…I can now see my pistons in a list but not the code to edit them.


#10

How do I find an older version of webCore to load? I feel like the last version was much more stable.


#11

Actually I just looked at logs - any idea what this means or how to fix it?

This is in the HE instructions webpage.

When you / your browser logs in (or after a webcore groovy code update), on first piston load the webcore servers require more data to be loaded into the webcore server.

After a new browser login, I first open a small existing piston from the dashboard (any one), so that the data can be uploaded. (small means not many lines of code)

The core issue is HE has a limit of 128KB - headers as maximum single http request update/response.

So if you open a large piston first, that along with the 1 time data upload can exceed the 128KB. Using a small piston won’t exceed, and the server won’t ask for the data upload again until a re-login (or next webcore code update).

This data upload is “for the webcore IDE”…


webCore stopped working for me
#13

Not sure I understand - this happens on all of my pistons, large and small…and doesnt’ matter if I open from hubitat or launch the webcore dashboard first.


#14

Actually I got it…none of my pistons worked, but trying to create a blank new piston got the db version to update…thanks @E_Sch!
