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

Zwave is a plugin

[rdc]

You are not understanding me. The devices I am grouping are not part of any plugin

yes you can group them. But, you will have problem. Plugin authors do not create plugin ( and devices ) with that in mind.

[rdc]

So you are saying that you cannot use the grouping plugin with included z wave devices that are not part of plugins ? I am grouping z wave switches and the grouping works fine. Its just that after they are grouped they can't be seen in the Z-Seer program

You can't group devices from plugins. Like you see it brakes functionalities.

You need to use jon00 utility with virtual devices only.

[rdc]

I dont understand what you are asking. If I group devices under a parent , some of which are z wave nodes they become hidden from Z-seer.

You grouped zwave nodes?

[rdc]

What causes the grouping plugin to hide nodes from Z-seer. If I ungroup the nodes are then seen.

Version 1.0.4 is now available:

Changes since V1.0.3:

Added device reference number to drop-downs.
Updated for HS4 style compatibility.

Just tested this with hs4 V- 4.0.6 on Linux. It is working !

Good to hear. Actually Matt was trying to help you with the 'fix' for Homeseer's ASPX issue on Linux.

I saw the post but wasn't sure, it seemed unrelated.

However I did try the fix and it did work, not the exact command but replacing one with the other worked for me.

thanks,

Scott

Good to hear. Actually Matt was trying to help you with the 'fix' for Homeseer's ASPX issue on Linux.

Here is the manual method:

Go to usr/bin and open vbnc in an editor.

change vbnc.exe to vbc.exe

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

Your code worked perfectly and got me past the issue I was having.

and yes, I am on linux.

I updated Mono, read both threads and tried everything I could find and I still get the same compiler error.

At this point the small code snippet you gave me will allow me to do what I need, so please don't spend any cycles trying to fix my issue.

thanks!

Scott

That with all the above quoted below, worked perfectly!

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 : Code:

sudo rm /usr/bin/vbnc
3. Then enter this Code:

sudo nano /usr/bin/vbnc
4. paste this code :
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

now You now only need to open a ssh session, and paste this command :

sudo cat /usr/bin/vbc > /usr/bin/vbnc

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
