Jon00 Dashboard for Homeseer 3 & Homeseer 4

[jon00]

The error seems to be related to updating the virtual devices and not being able to obtain their address. I have no idea how that would happen. Would you delete the virtual devices and allow the application to recreate them. See if that resolves the issue.

How often are you updating the dashboard items?

Hello
It's a really nice plugin you have made here.
I have read the previous posts regarding .png's not being created but the solution hasn't helped for me unfortunately.
The case is, the png is being created but not updated. It just stands at 1kB and empty when I open it. There are no errors in your log file or the HS3 log file.

[Device1]
Timer=2
CreateVD=1
DataMode=0
Data1=$dvr:880
Data1Multiplier=
Name=kW meter test
Title=
Title1=kW
Width=270
Height=270
MinValue=0
MaxValue=15
Type=1
Options=226+304
Effects=0
CreatePng=1

I have tried setting CreateVD=2 but then theres just a white picture in the device overview list in HS3 web interface. But as I read this is equal to CreatePNG=1

This is the only device I have at the moment. The issue was the same with the original .ini file.

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

New info: The file is being updated but is plain white/transparent. I see "Date modified" is updated.

I'm mystified with this issue. I'm at work at the moment but the plugin should create html files which if you display in a browser should show the gauge etc. The directory should be in the docs. If you can find it, does it display correctly in a browser? This is used to create the png file.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.

I have checked the webpages and they show up blank.

dashboard1.html = 2KB
dashboard1.png = 1KB I see in the file details that it is 270x270 pixels as specified but no graphic just a transparent canvas.
dashboardrefresh1.html = 1KB

So you don't see anything in the virtual devices either then?

[chris2ffer]

Sorry, the virtual device is showing fine.

[jon00]

I should of made it clearer but you would need to call the html file via the HS web server, not just clicking on it. If you see as a virtual device, the html file should be working.

To confirm, you have tried to run the exe on its own as an administrator?

[chris2ffer]

Oh, sorry
I now tried to access it through the webserver with the local adress below.
http://192.168.40.51/images/jon00/da...ashboard1.html
Then it shows correct. So thats good but how do I get the PNG file to work? I'd like to include it in HsTouch

[jon00]

Stop the plugin (right-click on the tray icon) and then manually start it as an administrator via Windows Explorer. Does that work?

[chris2ffer]

Yeah, just did that and still no PNG is showing up. But the virtual device and the HTML file is rendering as they should.

[jon00]

Create a shortcut for the exe and set that to run as an administrator. Any different?

[chris2ffer]

I have tried that also, also tried running the exe as administrator itself but no changes.

[jon00]

I'm at home now and mine is still working OK.

Which version of wkhtmltoimage did you place in dashboard directory? Even though I have a 64 bit OS, I seem to have the 32 bit version which is working fine.

[chris2ffer]

Hi
I have used the one that came in the Zip file and I have also downloaded the 64bit from the internet and still no success. I am running win 10 64bit. If I delete the file it reappears the next time it is created so I don't think there are any access restriction issues.

[jon00]

I'm running out of ideas. I notice you are from Norway, I wonder if it is a regional issue?

I assume you are running Windows 10?
