Ethernet Connection problem

1.0.0.118 installed here. All boards connected immediately.

4X Mega 2560 boards, all with Ethernet shields (1st gen POE).

Good news
I hope this fixes other peoples problems to.

All boards connected immediately with 118
but after the timeout Connection error.

Does anyone else have this problem after 118.

please check your firewall and AV software.

I'm going to give 118 API Ethernet version a try tonight and will report back.

[artart88]

I upgraded to 118 and so far so good with the API Ethernet sketch. Thanks!

Greig,

One thing I noticed though is that here is no Auto Connect check box. Is that intentional?

Good spot. It looks like the first board will have it but it is missing from any others. I will get this fixed in the next build.
FYI if the board was set to Auto connect before this build then it should still work you just can not turn it off and on.

Greig.

[artart88]

Yes that is what I am experiencing. Board 1 has the Auto checkbox but the rest do not. Otherwise 118 seems to be working great.

Hi Greig,
Sorry for the late reply, I had a short holiday.
Thanks for all the work on the plugin. I had several problems with previous versions:
- no correct API.ino download
- Arduino Plugin Error = Exception in UDPGetMessage : Operation on non-blocking socket would block

The situation is now:
HomeSeer Version: HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.280
Enabled Plug-Ins:
1.0.0.118: Arduino Plugin
3.0.0.4: CM15A
3.0.0.103: HSTouch Server
3.0.1.87: Z-Wave

The API.ino download is doing fine now.
For the Arduino error I will have to wait some time to see if that is solved as well. I will report back.

Regards, Cor

Just update to 118. After updating the plugin I had to restart Homeseer to populate the setup pages for each board.

I still have the counters + events in place that will increment as soon as a board disconnects, for now every is up and running and they are all at zero. I'll monitor the behavior over the next couple of days and post the results.

Great work updating the plugin, nice to see that you addressed the ethernet disconnect issue!

PS. Also not seeing the Auto Connect for boards other than the first one, I had it checked for every board in the previous version, hope the settings are unchanged.

[Cor]

In addition to my last message above I can report that the error message:

'Arduino Plugin Error = Exception in UDPGetMessage : Operation on non-blocking socket would block'

happens many times. Is there anything to do about this? Could it have to do with the Arduino hardware? I am using 2 boards at the time, one Aduino Mega 2560 with a HanRun 14/32 ethernet board and one Seeeduino Stalker v2.1 with an Arduino ethernet2 board. On both board I am measuring temperature, rel.humidity and CO2 concentration with a Cozir sensor.
I did disconnect the boards one by one but the error occurs on both boards.
Any help appreciated.

I can't get .118 to connect either.
To be sure, I've disabled the Windows 10 firewall.

Moskus,
Sorry you are having problems but I have it running here and many other do to so we will need to hunt down your problem. You say you are using the 1.6.5 environment but as per the config page you should be on 1.6.8. Please change this and see if you get anywhere. If not then please email me a full debug log so I can have a look and pin down your problem.

Greig.

[jonas.hellgren]

After some more testing 118 version is working fine with Mega not UNO.
I suspect a memory problem.

Removing onewire and LCD from sketch seem to get the UNO working.

I'm sorry, I meant 1.6.8. I'll grab a debug log.

Hmm! You might be on to something! The Arduino environment is complaining about "low memory" after a deployment...
