activate device script button from a txt script

[mterry63]

Funny, I had the exact same issue occur with the Homeseer Ocelot plugin with the 1st input of a SECU16 device. It consistantly creates a bad device.

It's a shame Homeseer won't support their own code.

Great! Glad I could help.

That did the trick!
The program stopped at a device and it was a device, created with an Ocelot plugin.
This plugin was modified to also use IR and variables. But it was working only for 1 secu16 unit. (and the creator of the flugin did not respond anymore on my mails for help.)
That made me decide to buy ethernet boards with relais and inputs.
They are working now, but I still had the Ocelot devices.
I have deleted all existing Ocelot devices and now the program is working ok!
Thanks for your help!

peterpc,

I've built a utility that instead of using HS3 enumeration to retrieve all devices (which is failing on your installation), it attempts to retrieve Devices with a DevRef of 1-10000.

I'm hoping it fails on a specific device so we can narrow down what is happening.

Please download and run the FindBadDevice utility and let me know what happens.

peterpc,

Could you define a few things about your configuration.

You are running on remote computer, correct?

Same LAN?

What OS, etc. is HS3 running on. What OS, etc are you running tenScriptAid on?

What plugins are installed.



The hs.GetDeviceEnumerator call is failing. There is some message board traffic about this -- I'm doing further research.

Looking at reported problems with plugins that use PlugExtraData, and you try to access stuff remotely. Especially if the plugin places custom objects into PlugExtraData.

Linux base HS3 does not properly serialize remote objects, and even on Win, if a plugin uses a custom object in the PlugExtraData, the plugin must be available for the remote caller for deserialization.

Please provide what you can, and I will keep researching.

If you feel adventurous, stop all of your plugins and see if that helps. If it does, keep adding plugins back until it fails.

Not sure any of this is the problem. Still looking.

The error you are getting is before it successfully retrieves even the first HS3 device while enumerating.

Please try version 1.14, adds more debug info during Device Retrieval.

Please post debug results.

Thanks for your patience,

Can it be that the device Reference ID of the latest device is too high?
Latest device has Reference ID 2451.
I have done a lot of testing creating devices and delete them.
I now have 687 devices

Not likely as my latest reference is quite a bit higher than that and so is my latest device count and it's working fine for me.

Cheers

That helps. Did the log not show any devices that it found?

No, that is all in the log file.

[peterpc]

Could you select the debug box before connecting?

The HS log will show you where the tenScriptAid log is written.

Please post log contents here.

Thanks,

tenholde

Is there also a command to read if a module is on or off?
Like replacement for hs.IsOn?

Since you are not controlling a device, you can also get the device's value using hs.devicevalue. However, you'd have to know what the specific values are for on and off as this is not consistent across all types of devices/plugins. Off is typically 0, but On could be 1, 99, 100, 255.

Look at the Capi Status value, it should show current status from the CapiControls available for that device:

if hs.CAPIGetStatus(924).Status.ToUpper.Contains("ON") then    xxxxxxxxxxx

[peterpc]

hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(cv,true ,"On",false,true))
is working perfect!
