The program will not start from the command line or as a daemon

On a restart of the program, the program will fail with a number of rather confusing errors:

Failure to load configuration parameters
Problem:
The shutters are registered as an uppercase hexadecimal number.
[Shutters]
0x27962C = c,True,2
However, on writing the rolling code back to the config file, the uppercase hexadecimal shutter id is written as a lowercase hexadecimal number.
0x27962c = 24
On registering a shutter, the shutter id is formatted with the following line (mywebserver.py:188
):
id = "0x%0.2X" % tmp_id
This will format the id as a Uppercase hexadecimal number. Probably, this should be changed into
id = "0x%0.2x" % tmp_id
FIX
Besides fixing the formatting in nywebserver.py
, for existing shutter ids, edit the operateShutters.conf
file and make the shutter ids lowercase in the sections [Shutters], [ShutterRollingCodes]
and [ShutterIntermediatePositions]
and restart.
This problem almost left me desperate while setting up the installation in my house. I think it would be good if you created a pull request to fix the problem in the code.

It happens infrequently but that's not the normal behaviour
