Homeseer does not support two instances of the same plugin. In the case of the ocelot you could have one be the HST ocelot plugin and have the other be ADIOcelot. That would likely be the easiest route for you.

In your IP/COM driver emulation you would define the address of the Sena to be a domain address for your second house. For example, mySecondHouse.com. You could use port 6002 or 6001. It does not matter since they are at different IP addresses. I do not know if the Sena driver software will allow domain addresses. You need to setup your second house's router to forward whatever port you select to be the local IP address of the second Sena.

How do I setup a Remote Ocelot with a Sena

How do I setup a Remote Ocelot at a different house with a Sena Serial to Ethernet Converter?

I already have one Sena Serial to Ethernet Converter running a ZTroller so this will be a second Sena.

The other Sena is set to port 6001 so I set this one up as port 6002 as I knew both could not be on the same port.

Do I install the Ocelot SW on my PC and for COM port plug in the port or must I do something else? I have not actually tryed anything yet so I would not get into any big mess with installing a Plug-In and have to remove it.

I would then go to setup and add another remote interface with the IP address of the remote location, correct?

I already have the Ocelot installed and ready to go as soon as I figure this out. Just did not want to get into a jam and have to rebuild my system again. HA!

Cheers - Gary

The source for the segment you are reporting is below. I know it does not help, but the errors are reported out of the VB runtime system so no way I know of to get more visibility. There is not much else I know to do other than assure all the activex components are availalbe for 32 bit operation. Google would be the next resoure to query. The ocelot plugin provided by HST was rewritten in .NET and does not have these legacy dependencies so should migrate better to a x64 platform.

90                    End If

I tried downloading all the extras, registered them, and loaded the trial version of mcsSprinklers, and rebooted, but all I've managed to get so far is the message that was previously Select menu 40, has become Select menu 60.

Is there anything else to try?

I checked all the files were in the windows > system32
directory... but i reregistered them with windows anyway..
same result - maybe I have to reboot? I don't know
if the .ocx files load dynamically?

[Michael McSharry]

They can go anywhere, but typically in the Windows\System32. What you want to careful of is having multiple with different versions as that could break some something that referenced something that no longer works with the other one.

Thanks Michael..

That makes perfect sense.. I'll check it out
and give it a shot-

Sorry.. do they go in the root HS directory?

Happy Holidays-

There is a post which I think is at the top of the ADIOcelot subforum where I posted all the activeX controls used by ADIOcelot. These typically do not come with later version of Windows. Each needs to be registered (regsvr32) for the plugin to be able to see it. It may be erroring and the form not able to be drawn.

I have the I/O enabled as well.. funny as I've tried
it with both I.E and Firefox same result. bizarre.
Could I have some kind of registry issue I wondef

thanks for the help - I do appreciate it!

I have also tried the "ADIOcelot" pulldown > "Setup" from HS
as well..

[Michael McSharry]

I did not have an ocelot connected when I produced those screenshots for you so the lack of a form is independent of the communication. Without it connected there was a message in the HS log that it could not connect to the ocelot. "Ocelot Plugin- Error, Timeout looking for CPU-XA/Ocelot 0"

You may have issue with only IR setup page unless you have it also enabled as X10 or IO. It does not hurt to enable it both IR and IO even if you have no IO devices connected.

Hi Michael- Thanks for the response-

I'm working on my server.. not remotely. I do remember
that sometimes it will background the window behind others.. but even when minimizing all else it doesn't show.
My other plugins that have GUI forms do work as expected
but for whatever reason I can't get the ocelot config window to open. Thought I had read that this could mean that it's not connecting to the Ocelot? All I get is (below): with no "found Ocelot" dialogue

12/1/2010 5:57:35 PM - Plug-In - Initializing Infrared interface ADIOcelot on COM 3

12/1/2010 5:57:36 PM - Plug-In - Finished initializing infrared interface ADIOcelot


I had tried the HS Ocelot plugin but the plugin has issues
with initializing -throws an error:

12/1/2010 5:59:55 PM - COM Plugin Error - Error initializing Infrared Interface: Automation errorThe remote procedure call failed. Line #: 0

12/1/2010 5:59:55 PM - Error - Initializing Infrared interface Applied Digital Ocelot: Automation errorThe remote procedure call failed. Line #: 0

It seems like the ADIOcelot plugin isn't finding the Ocelot
via the Quatech Serial server. frustrating as it would great to use the plugin for IR in a remote room. I know user
"Stef" is using the same Quatech dse-100 I am using
successfuly with the ADIOcelot plugin.. similar envion.

In your infinite wisdom.. If you can give point me in any
direction it would appreciated..

It is a windows form that is shown in response to the Config button. If you have other windows open it may be hiding. If you are working remotely then you you will never see it unless it is remote where you share a desktop. On the attached I show the logging checkboxes enabled. The selection of COM port is done on the HS Interface page where X10,IR,IO is selected.

[dallison]

How do I set it? The problem is when I click the "config"
button I don't get the form so I can't set the logging.
This is what I'm trying to troubleshoot.. doesn't seem
to be connecting

Thanks-

The pulugin has a setting to log the communication. No special version is needed.
