Android App won't connect

Android app complains about "the API version is not the same". I imagine this is because of the new 6.0.0 versioning upstream? Not sure what the work around would be here. I will try to find an archived version of the apk for now.

Edit: Although now that I'm looking.. the android apk hasn't been updated since July 2014, so it isn't that.

Alright, well I see that with some added features the API version was bumped to 1.5 from 1.4

Is this a full breaking incompatibility to the existing android app? Is there an alternative that I'm missing?

Hi,

the change is a minor addition (#13), which is why only the minor version was increased (see semver.org). So IMO the best option is to contact the creator of the app to accept 1.X with X >= 4 as API version.

On the other hand this is a fork and we don't know what the Lightpack people are going to do if they change something - they might release a different 1.5 someday. Assuming you're talking about the "Prismatik Controller" app, I tried using it with API version 1.4.1, so that would be another option. This is what was done in PR #27 with the Lightpack firmware, because it happened to work. BUT (a) unpublishing 1.5 is bad (b) it might break existing clients which don't expect another number after the minor version.

Fixed in ba68f77. @damianromanowski you might want to adjust your scripts for the next release - check for Prismatik API 2.0
