I'll merge that now, I was just waiting for unit tests to finish. If you want to update your device, pip install --no-deps --upgrade git+https://github.com/neongeckocom/neoncore@dev should grab those changes

I'm currently working on a real update system that doesn't involve flashing new images, so the next image with these fixes will probably be early next week

New Neon image with some major updates is up on 2222.us(~1.6GB)

Changes:

• Supports offline setup with an indicator on the homescreen while offline
• Adds a core update plugin and skill to enable Neon Core (and skill) in-place updates
• Updates STT and TTS fallback to handle more error cases
• Resolves an issue with the Developer Dashboard
• Updates configuration for better OSM support (thanks @slate7621 for pointing this out)

Known Bugs:

• Some UI elements are low contrast. The default theme will be changed in an upcoming release
• First run Network setup page reloads occasionally. Fix is pending testing/approval
• Non-SJ-201 Audio devices require manual configuration
• wifi-connect is no longer working and has been disabled

Other Notes:

• Existing installations may be updated by following these instructions in our documentation
• Setup skill is still disabled, but will be replaced in an upcoming release with language selection
• Core update checks currently only happen when requested, a future update will do this in the background and provide notifications

I installed the new version and I installed the Home Assistant skill via OS. This time it did create the settings.json file in the ./config folder. But after I restarted the Mark II, it took extra time to boot up and the Time is no longer displaying. Below is from skills.log

not yet the settings.json in /.config is empty except for one line. From, what you said before, settings.json is where the connection settings go, right?

Yes. so, you should be able to update that to something like:

{
    "__mycroft_skill_firstrun": false,
    "token": "<long_lived_token>",
    "host": "192.168.1.3",
    "portnum": 8123,
}

I saw that I had double quotes around my true and false values and once I removed them and restarted, it worked.

I also noticed that the location doesnt update right away. And after telling neon to change my location, the temperature on the display doesnt reflect the temperature in my area.

And the location under Developer Settings, still says Lawrence Kansas with Central Timezone. But funny enough, when I ask Neon where I am or what the weather is, she reports it for my current location
