HS 2.0 Support

[jon00]

Michael,

You may have seen that I have problems with IR and the normal Homeseer Ocelot plugin in HS2.

I have just tried ADIOcelot and IR works fine apart from control via an ASP. I tend to use cpuxa.PlayRemoteIR and so have now added this to my scripts and ASP's:

set cpuxa = hs.GetPlugins("ADIOcelot")

This works fine for scripts but ASP errors with:

Script error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'cpuxa'
set cpuxa = hs.GetPlugins("ADIOcelot")

Any ideas?

I would suggest using an object name different that cpuxa. That object name is declared internally by HS and with a new asp engine they may have missed not declaring it when ADIOcelot is installed.

The second approach is to use the hs.SendIR method, but you will need to define everything in the HS context

The third approach is to use xAP so the ocelot is IP-connected rather than directly (RS232)-connected, but I suspect you will have the same problem with set object = hs.GetPlugins("mcsXap") that you have with Set object = hs.GetPlugins("ADIOcelot")

The fourth is to keep chipping away to get support for the HST ocelot pluign or with HST about the root cause of the ASP behavior.

Thanks Michael

Yet another ticket posted to HST. I will have a go at renaming though.

Here's an interesting ADIOcleot thread over in the HS2 forum: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread...d=1#post655928
Looks like this guy lost his IRConfig file when he made the 1.7 to 2.0 transition.

Michael, when the import to/from CMAX is performed by the plugin, does it directly access the config files, or does it do its duty through HS? I guess my bottom line is, since HS2 apparently does not use the old IRconfig file, will ADIOcelot still be able to perform it import/export duties in HS2?

I understand that you're not planning to port the plugin over to .NET, but I REALLY hope you'll work a few issues to make the existing plugin fully compatable with 2.0.

I've really enjoyed the plugin for the past two years, and is defineately one of my favorites!

It deals with the .cfg files. Where is the HS2 IR configuration file information published?

Where is the HS2 IR configuration file information published?

That's a good question. I've not updated to HS2 yet, still waiting for 100% of my plugins to be fully compatable (this one and the W800 are my biggies). I think that HS2 has moved everthing except the HSP Phonebook over to a single databse file. We'll have to get one of the HST guys to answer for sure, I'll PM them with a link to this and the other topic.

EDIT: ahhh, ok, you can't PM those guys. I guess they'd get swamped if you could.

When I first ran HS2, the log complained about the missing irlib.cfg file. I just copied the irlib.cfg file across and ADIOcelot works fine (in scripts). Using the HS Ocelot plugin and it still refuses to work.

Just saw a new version in the updater (running HS 1.7.44), what are the changes?

Installed HS2 on my home system Saturday. I installed to HomeSeer 2 folder keeping HS 1.7 intact but before installing HS2 I copied contents of config and DATA folders. I immediately ran Updater to get ADIOcelot and other plug-ins.

IR is now working with ADIOcelot with all labels and codes intact. The device type for my IR devices was changed by HS2 to Infrared Device, Infrared Device.1, Infrared Device.2, etc. I have noted that sending of IR commands via IR Control page is slo-o-o-o-ow! Something must not be quite right.
