Retrieving Settings from INI file

[dcorsus]

do you guys trusts the hs3/4 built-in ini routines? i gave up on them in HS3, and implemented a third party ini class. My HS3 ini file kept getting truncated/corrupted when hs3 crashed or was shutdown in correctly

Never had any issue with it but I don't use it as a streaming database, just for settings and they are easily a few hundred entries.

I've never had an issue with the built-in routines. I am writing a new plugin that will 'cache' the INI settings instead of reading them for every device event. I've even thought about a built-in timer to get any new settings every 'x' minutes or so.

duh, I should have figured that one out...I guess I'm a little frazzled trying to get this plugin done.

Use HomeseerSystem.GetIniSetting
The section is “Settings” but you can see that if you open the ini file

Is there away to retrieve my settings when the plugin loads without creating Protected Overloads Sub LoadSettingsFromIni() ? The settings page reads in the values fine, but how do I access them in my plugin?
