2 housecodes in one plugin

[wetlip]

i have 2 housecodes in my plugin , gbasecode and gbasecode2

they are retrieved from homeseer the first one issued is: ' the second is #.

but retrieving them with enumerating devices of plugin gives first # and as second '

is that normal behavior of the homeseer device enumerator ?

House code are allocated in ascii sort order. I do not believe there is any guaranteed order for device enumeration. If you need an order then you need to sort the returned set.

okay thank you , why dont i see the obvious ?

device enumeration is still a black box in homeseer

i made next code, it seems a complete at random enumeration of the existing devices, the code can be tried in tenscripting.

Public Sub enumeratedevicecode(ByVal parms As Object)

        '' [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xfhwa508[/url]

        Dim DE As Object = hs.GetDeviceEnumerator()
        'Dim dv As Object
        Dim dev_code As Short  'th deviccode

      
        Dim devicecodes As New List(Of Integer)
        Dim dict As New Dictionary(Of Char, List(Of Short))


        Dim b As Object
        Dim i As Integer = 0   '' count housecode
        Dim ii As Integer = 0  '' count devices per housecode
        Dim iii As Integer = 0  '' count total amount of devices
        'Dim anHsDevice As Scheduler.Classes.DeviceClass
        'Dim hsDevices As Scheduler.clsDeviceEnumeration



        Dim dv As Scheduler.Classes.DeviceClass

        Dim a As Object








        dev_code = 0    ''   enumerate rts485 devices
        Do While Not DE.Finished



            dv = DE.GetNext
            If Not dv Is Nothing Then
                a = dv.hc     '' housecode of device
                b = dv.dc     '' devicecode of device
                'If iii = 0 Then                    '' first device ever

                '    Dim arr As New List(Of Short)       ''  (list of devcecodes) = value belonging to housecode (key)
                '    arr.Add(b)
                '    dict.Add(a, arr)

                'End If

                If Not dict.ContainsKey(a) Then   ''  If housecodes is Not contained already in dictionary then add housecode as key and a new list

                    Dim arr As New List(Of Short)
                    arr.Add(b)
                    dict.Add(a, arr)
                Else


                    dict.Item(a).Add(b)   '' ads devicecode to list if that housecodekey


                End If








            End If

            devicecodes.Add(dv.ref)
            iii = iii + 1
        Loop





    End Sub

in the tools of homeseer the code list i get this list where "# " is put on top

I believe that if nothing else is defined, the default sorting is done on Device ID, an "randomly generated" integer.
