    In edit mode, you should be seeing this:

    Once it is saved your final event should look like this:

        Why? This only affects hs.writelog when used as an immediate script command.

          Update - It was a bug in HS4. Hence why all the great advice from the forum did not work. HomeSeer notified me it was fixed.
          verified that this works in Script Commands and Events.
          &hs.writeLogEx("Title","Log Text!","" )

          Thanks all for the assistance here.

            One more note for trying to get writeLogEx working.

            I am a VERY long time user of HS back to 1999. Most of my scripts have the file extension of TXT. I was having trouble with HS3 and decided to make the jump to HS4 that I had previously paid for one of the early promo deals.

            I always used writeLog to help debug things and see if I was getting the correct values of some devices that I used to take action in a script. All of the scripts with writeLog now failed in HS4. To get things working I just commented out the writeLog statements.

            It seems that hs.writelogEx (no &n) does NOT work if your script has a TXT extension. It does work if the script has a VB extension.

            For sure a nice HS4 scripting tutorial would be very helpful. And maybe it exists. I can handle the logic flow and the programming but the nuances of things like this just don't seem to be documented anywhere.

              Its not documented because it is a bug and should be reported.

              hs.writelog fails using a .txt script.

              Code:
              Sub Main()
              
              hs.writelog "Test","test"
              
              End Sub
              Running script, script run or compile error in file: Test.txt430:Class doesn't support Automation: 'hs.writelog' in line 3 More info: Class doesn't support Automation: 'hs.writelog'

              hs.writelogEx does work however:

              Code:
              Sub Main()
              
              hs.writelogEx "Test","test","#FF0000"
              
              End Sub
              Legacy-Plugin/Script Test test

                      Greetings All,

                      I'm confused, is this not supposed to work in HS4?

                      &hs.writelog("WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here")

                      Thanks,

                        Yes it is but continues to be a longstanding bug in HS4.

                        You currently have to use:

                        &nhs.writelog("WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here")

                        rjh Rich, any idea when this will be fixed?

                          Looks like you are using vbscript. That is really old and will probably start to break going forward, change your script to .vb script and use the vb.net syntax or use the WriteLogEx function instead. I believe WriteLog has an issue because there are multiple definitions and vbscript does not support that.

                            This is an issue with an immediate script command:

                            &hs.writelog("WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here")

                              If we change this now we can break plugins that are using this API. So something will need to remain broken. For Immediate scripts you can use HS.WriteLogEx.

                                Rich,

                                I don't wish to be a pain, but would you please elaborate on this? Which API are you referring to? If this is going to be the case, should not this be documented somewhere?

                                Just for your information, the following works in an immediate script command:

                                &nhs.Writelog ("WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here")

                                This fails:

                                &hs.Writelog ("WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here")

                                Running script(1) &hs.Writelog ("WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here"), init error: Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

                                As does:

                                &hs.Writelog "WriteLog Entry", "Insert message here"

                                Running script(2) &hs.writelog WriteLog Entry, Insert message here, init error: Syntax error
