In the HomeSeer log I see a strange message.

I have deleted the devices in the homeseer.mdb database. And started homeseer again. But I see the same message in the logging.

WIN7 Homeseer Pro and hspi_malk8055.ocx version 1.1.0.1

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks Wiel

Source code available?

Gotta reckon it was poor coding on my behalf - I kinda stopped with the plugin when the vellemen dll had problems with switching between multiple boards - if I can find the source code I'll post it - if anyone want's to pick it up.

I'll look this weekend - it;s in the archive somewhere.

Malarcy

Malarcy, did you post the sourcecode somewhere?

I'm currently experience the same issue as Tonlof:

The max countervalue for 8055 is 65535 but the plugin stop after 32767.

Any Idea?

/Tony

Also there is no option to do somehow a reset of the countervalue which I really need in my setup.

Instead of start writing a new plugin from scratch I would like to start with the sourcecode you've written already. Of course only if you're happy to share it ...

Analogue Outputs

Hi there, thank you to Malarcy for all of his hard work he did getting the K8055 to work. This may just be the drive i need to go out and but the Homeseer software (well get some of the other automation bits).

I have a chance to try out the software and quite like it but can someone give me step my step on how to use the analogue outputs. when i right click i cant see any settings or place to put a script i can ony see this in events

Any help appreciated

setting K8055 digital output with script

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to set the digital outputs of my 8055 board using script.
Should I use the hs.setdevicestatus or hs.setdevicevalue function ?
what is the parameter value to set or reset one output ?
A one line example would help me !
Thank you very much for your support

DigiBee has boards that have a maximum of 16 inputs or 64 outputs, they can be controlled with the software that is shipped with the boards.

If you need more you have to use the BeeHive software that can be downloaded from their website. This advanced software will support 4 boards if I am not mistaking.

I have read through the documenation and to my opinion there is one setback. The boards do not have an unique identifier and have to be identified upon connection. So if you unplug the board en connect it again, you could have some fun...

I personally have a DigiBee+ and developed my own HS plugin. The manuals are good and even for a VB-noob it is possible to write an interface within a couple of days.

Please notice: the DigiBee board are not isolated or able to drive high current outputs. You will have to connect them to a relay board such as the Velleman relay board and a optocoupler interface.

Hi Jaco

I am affraid that the 4 board version of the plugin was never released. It was developed, but had issues over switching between boards so was put on hold.

If you need multiple outputs, check out the maxibee - Jon00 has code for that - and I can confirm it works great. The maxibee range includes a 64 port output module for not much money.

multiple velleman k8055-cards

Hello guy's,

First of all excusen my english, i'm new with homeseer and i'm orientating which components i need for my situation.

Some people sugests mee the velleman K8055, but the number of i/o's are not enough. On the velleman website i've read i can connect a maximum of 4 boards to my computer, but does the plugin supports 4 boards?

Jaco

Events make it clear

Hi David, thanks for your posting.

I made some events. When (e.g.) opening a door then I can find the execution of the event (initiated by the Velleman board) in the log-file.
So I can see the plugin is working. But I cannot see the changing of the status of de digital input e.g. K8055-0-DI4.

I am not sure that I can upgrade the plugin without making HS unstable.
I coult not find the upgrade procedure in the thread.
I thought Malarcy wrote one but I can not find it (only in posting #53 from Tonlof) in the thread.
Perhaps someone can help me a little bit. ;-)

Thanks, Wiel

[Bestgear]

Hi Weil

Glad you found the later versions....

Did a later version fix the counter issue you saw?

David

[Wiel]

Upgrade the plugin

Thanks DJ,

I made a little mistake, I was thinking that in the startpost the latest version of the plugin was. Sorry.
Lateron in #35 and #76 I saw new versions.

My system is now stable and I am not shure I can remove the old version and install the new one. I have seen some postings with problems.
I will think about that. ;-) Within a few days I have the courage. ;-)
First I have to find out how to remove the old and install the new version of the plugin.

Of course I appreciate the work from Malarcy. No doubt !

Regards, Wiel

[Bestgear]

Weil...

I would read through the posts as there are later versions posted within the thread.... Malarcy updated several things along the way...

Digital Input from K8055 in Homeseer

Hello Guys, 2 short qeustion about the K8055-interface.
WinXP-SP3, HS2 Standard Edition 2.2.0.66., hspi_malk8055.ocx version 0.0.0.1

When the digital input is changed then I do not automatic see anything in the Homeseer-Log.
Why can I not see the statuschange from the digital input (K8055-0-DI1 $1 ) in the HS-logging?
(yes, I can see the status change in the Homeseer status page), (and yes I can see an eventtrigger in the homeseer-log).


When I want to create a device (digital input K8055-0-DI1 = code $1 ) in DooMotion then the message appears: The devicecode $1 is already being used.
How can I find out the course of this message?

Thanks for help.
