Jon00 Device Grouping Utility (web page) for Homeseer 3 & Homeseer 4

[jdkluck]

Yes, this is not you, this a compilation bug on Mono for aspx pages.

A workaround can be found here on post #3 : https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...ge-compilation

But here are the steps:

1. SSH into your Linux box , with a program like putty.

2. Enter this command :

sudo rm /usr/bin/vbnc

3. Then enter this

 sudo nano /usr/bin/vbnc

4. paste this code :

#!/bin/bash
for x; do
if [[ $x = '/tmp'* ]]; then
sed -i '1{/#Externa/d}' $x
fi
done
exec /usr/bin/mono --debug $MONO_OPTIONS /usr/lib/mono/4.5/vbnc.exe "$@"

5. press ctrl+o to save it then enter.

6. try to get into http://172.16.1.87:80//Jon00Grouping.aspx again

Thanks for the tip. I went and just went into my system and did it through xterm.
However this is what I ended up with when I tried to get back into the utilty.

Maybe doing this command would help :

chmod +x /usr/bin/vbnc

if that does not work i don’t know

Yeah it did not work ended up saying chmod: changing permissions of '/usr/bin/vbnc/': Operation not permitted

zwolfpack Sorry again,

my linux knowledge is limited. Do you have an idea ?

[Guest]

Maybe... one thing to try would be to add your homeseer user to a group.

and then add root and homeseer user to that group.

I think it would be necessary to redo your permission Of the xbnc file to work with the root:group .

Not sure about this , but you’ll surely get a better answer soon

That with all the above quoted below, worked perfectly!

Every time I have to restart Homeseer, my device groupings revert back to the way that they were. Is this normal? Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

[jon00]

Are you trying to change the groupings of plugins?

[StevieB]

They are not associated to Plugins, exactly. Not sure if the ZWave Plugin counts. They are zWave switches. When it resets, they show as Standalone.

[jon00]

Yes, z-wave devices will be managed by Homeseer so they may very well get reset.

[StevieB]

I'm assuming that there's no way to make it not happen?

[jon00]

Unfortunately that is a no.

[StevieB]

Fair enough, Thanks Jon. It's really more of an annoyance than anything, I mainly just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that I wasn't doing right.

jon00 I am hoping you can help...

I have tried everything here to get your utility working and I am stuck at the script error others have.

I really just need to change a single device. I coped a device that was associated with a plugin, I really was looking to save myself some time not replicating the huge status graphics values.

The copied device is still associated with the plugin. I just want it stand-alone so I can manually set the values with an event.



My real questions are: Will your script allow me to do this, if I ever get it working?
Is there a simple command/script I can run just to clear out the associations with he old plug-in so I can remove the status-only setting?
I have been searching and working on this for hours (really nullifies my original goal )

thanks!

The utility will only allow you to change the relationship status; nothing else.

If you want to change other parameters, you need to look at scripting and look at the device class: http://help.homeseer.com/help/HS3/st...s_deviceclass1

Here is a quick example to get you going:

  Sub Main(ByVal Parm As Object)

        Dim dv As Scheduler.Classes.DeviceClass = Nothing

        dv = hs.GetDeviceByRef(857)
        dv.Address(hs) = ""
        dv.Interface(hs) = ""
        dv.Device_Type_String(hs) = ""
        dv.MISC_Set(hs, &H100)
        dv.Status_Support(hs) = False

    End Sub

What issues are you having with running my utility? I assume running on Linux with a page error?
