      David,

      Since the Forums wont allow attachments - here is what triggers the Serial commands from the RFID.

        I'm struggling to reproduce the problem here. I've created a simple event to send the same command:

        and after enabling developer mode I run the event and get the following output in the plugin's debug window:

        Can you post the contents of your debug log?

          Hello guys,

          Quick question, where would I drop these files on a HomeTroller Zee using WinSCP?

            You just need to drop the exe in the root HS3 folder. That's all. The .ini file is included for info purposes only and will be generated automatically when you start creating connections / commands etc

              This is what I'm seeing when connected to my HomeTroller Zee via WinSCP:

                Yeah, I am not sure where HS3 is installed on a Zee. Search for 'homeseer' and it should become apparent.

                You should find a folder somewhere that is named something like "HomeSeer HS3" or perhaps just "homeseer". Inside it you should find a bunch of other folders (bin, config, html etc etc) and several .exe files. The plugin needs to go in the root folder alongside the other .exe files.

                  I actually just saw another post on a different topic which suggests that HomeSeer might be in: /usr/local/HomeSeer

                    HomeTroller Zee S2 has the "home" HomeSeer catalog in:
                    Code:
                    /usr/local/HomeSeer/

                      Thanks guys.

                      Plugin showed up perfectly on my HomeTroller Zee after dropping the .exe on:

                      Code:
                      /usr/local/HomeSeer/

                        drule,

                        Do you know of anyone that has used this plugin to control weedtech.com boards?, I am having some trouble changing state of any ports on the boards, I tried with a solid state relay board, I setup the Com Port and was sending raw data "ASW00100[CR]" which should turn on relay 3 but nothing happens, is it correct to use [CR] to add a carriage return which the weedtech board needs? is that the correct syntax? Do you have any experience with these boards? I can see that my text message is getting to the board and the Header byte is correctly received because the red LED signals that my command was sent to a specific board on the stack. But the state won't change

                          Try "ASW00100\r" as a C Escaped command.

                            That did it, thanks for all your work on this plugin, now I will try to read these boards. Thanks again

                                There is no formal documentation for the plugin but reading through this thread should help you with most questions. To install you only needed to extract the .exe file and copy it to your HomeSeer directory. It will then appear on Plugins tab.

                                The first serial port on a Global Cache controller is accessed on tcp port 4999.
