    @CatmanV2 Ahhh I see then it could be a faulty unit if the OEM remote doesn't work in IR mode!

    I also had no clue Logitech still provided support for the Harmony products! Really wish they kept the Harmony line around, was a great product.

    Side note if anyones interested, I did find a reasonable alternative to the Harmony its called The Remote 3 from Unfolded Circle. Much more expensive but the HW and SW looks to be much better than Harmony. I have one on pre ordered to see if these will eventually replace my 6 Harmony remotes. (sorry for the thread hijack 😛 )

    @therealdb said in [How-To] Migrate from Vera to Zwave.me and then ZwaveJS in 2024:

    asking why it took me so many years to switch

    Now six years since the announcement of the acquisition. Both are dead; one of them just doesn't know it yet.

    Why use any individual scene code at all? Per the reference docs you cited, if you define a scene_prolog global (presumably with the exact same code as your existing executeSceneNumber) that should work directly.

    The code in your link was messed up when they updated that forum some years ago. I've rehashed it to give it a chance of working but I suspect you may still have trouble getting it to work. Running it in the Lua test window would be your starting point after reading the
    push over api doco.

    Another alternative is to use Telegram with the Telegram plugin.

    As always, you are very quick and attentive; thank you.

    The point I mentioned about Windget having an icon to open plain text would be to show the log file in a browser. To see this file today, I have to use PuTTY, log in to my VM, search for the directory, and then open the file with Nano.

    I wanted a faster way to view the file in a browser without having to install Apache or a Python SimpleHTTPServer.

    Thanks.
