New Release v0.6.4

[freakent]

With the general release of VenusOS v3.20, we also have a new release of dbus-mqtt-devices v0.6.4.

I am happy to confirm that Victron's move to FlashMQ from Mosquitto has not impacted this driver and it works just as it did before.

This release contains a few bug fixes and some improvements to the samples. Special thanks to @garshaw for providing a fix to a difficult to find bug.

Any comments or feedback please comment down below.

Good morning freakent!
Good news! I tried the new 0.6.4 this morning with VenusOS 3.20 stable and everything seems to work properly! All my "mqtt"-devices are working as before. Many thanks!
Greetings Christian!

Good morning!
I also can confirm that everything runs fine with Firmware 3.20.

Thx for the superfast reaction! (maybe faster than flashmq ;-) )

have a nice day!
Cheers,
Ron

Also went back from latest beta to 0.6.4 with release of firmware 3.20. 0.6.4 works fine after executing topic 4 of the Troubleshooting chapter. :-)

This one?
4. If you have re-installed more than once, make sure there is only one line in your rc.local for dbus-mqtt-devices.

more /data/rc.local

[Thxeverybody]

Yes, I had still another line referring to 0.7.5

[freakent]

I haven't figured out a safe way to do this automatically in the setup script yet. The rc.local file can be used by other services that have been installed. Come to think of it a warning if multiple dbus-mqtt-devices is found is probably better than nothing. I'll add it to the to do list list.

[Thxeverybody]

Automatic correction would of course be comfortable, but your advice under troubleshooting and here is already a major help.

@freakent , I just installed v0.6.4 on Venus v3.30~6 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and except for the above mentioned issue with rc.local everything looks good.
Many thanks,
Gene

Thanks for proposing the int(...) fix. The function that returns the id already has an int(...) around the return value but for some reason it became a string. Must be one of those Pythonisms.
