phileaton Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 The driver only checks every 24 hours. If you press the check for updates button it will check immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillmark99 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Same 1.0.4Just keeps trying to Initializing iCloud session, over and over again.I had this problem as well. Removed the device driver and re added and it started to work fine again. 1.0.4 for me as well. Battery life has gone down hill really fast the past little while.

turls Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I spoke too soon. My battery life isn't as bad as it was when 1.0.4 broke, but under 1.0.5 is still significantly worse than when 1.0.4 was working. Anybody else, in case there is some other variable I'm missing? Its this way on both my main iOS devices on different iCloud accounts, and one of them I even bumped the settings to not phone home as often when at a location.

prabeau Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I am on 7.0.3 (EV) what happens to this driver now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 So now with iCloud Family Share and the ability to see the other devices all under one icloud account is it possible to get the driver to pick up these other devices as well? Would be much easier to have a single Icloud Account vs multiple. Just a question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phileaton Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 We are going to offer extra vegetables user the option to switch to Houselogix If they choose. Unfortunately control 4says they won't be pushing updates on the old drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phileaton Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 At this point you can't monitor phones on your family share account. It's something I play to look into though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turls Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 So everybody else still using the Synapse driver that got their driver updated isn't having battery life issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phileaton Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 The newest version is now available on the Houselogix website. You will need to install our new licensing and auto update manager(included in the download). Once installed you can register with your current license key, regardless of who you purchased through. We are very excited about this. No longer will you need to install a different version depending on who you bought the driver from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaltrader Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 will the new driver retain my programming? that's tge most painful part of this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phileaton Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Is there release notes available? This is version 8.0.0. The only major change is the new licensing system and the ability to push auto updates again( EV is no longer pushing updates for 3rd party drivers). There was one minor bug fix that had already been addressed with version 1.0.5 of the Synapse driver, but was still affecting the EV version. The bug was related to a change in the API that was causing the driver not to get new location data sometimes, thus resulting in a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phileaton Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 will the new driver retain my programming? that's tge most painful part of this process.The new driver uses the c4z file format, and cannot be used to directly update the older c4i file format. What I have been recommending is that dealers place as much of their programming in macros as possible to minimize the pain of any transitions. For example. I have an arrive home macro that turns on the front yard, garage, and garage entry lights if it is dark outside as well as performing several other tasks. The FollowMe driver simply fires this macro when the arrive home event is triggered. You could copy and past all of your programming into macros prior to the upgrade to minimize the loss.

turls Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 So now with iCloud Family Share and the ability to see the other devices all under one icloud account is it possible to get the driver to pick up these other devices as well? Would be much easier to have a single Icloud Account vs multiple. Just a question? Hoping Phil will chime in on this. I finally got around to setting this up and it seems to make a lot more sense to use Family Sharing than to get every family member to give you their iCloud credentials.

cdepaola Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Family share capability would be awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phileaton Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I will look into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Only downside I would see is unintended consequences if you temporarily turn off location sharing to your family and what affect that might have on FollowMe integration. I haven't used that option so not sure how big of a deal that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'm starting to get a lot of timeouts with the driver, where it won't ever recover on its own, and I have to go in and change the iCloud password in Composer so I can get a "set" button choice (I don't actually change the password). Once I set it the iCloud session recovers. May need to look at the logic on that? I'm not really changing anything so hopefully this can be fixed programmatically. I have 5 different driver instances and this morning 2 of them were "stuck". One device was on iOS 6 and one on iOS 9, so its not an iOS 9 issue. Any ideas yet on Family Sharing support?
