Getting "Method 'Scheduler.hsapplication.CAPIGetSingleControl' not found."

[dkrupenn]

I updated HS4 to the latest build and I started getting "Method 'Scheduler.hsapplication.CAPIGetSingleControl' not found."

I run a script which calls:
hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(DevRefDimmer,f alse,hs.GetVar(DevRefDimmer),false,true))

Just to be sure I reinstalled HS4, but I still get this error. Hаs the API changed?

Thansk!

If that (script) was a copy and paste then fix that typo and see if it works :

hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(DevRefDimmer,f alse,hs.GetVar(DevRefDimmer),false,true))

Thanks! I think it was a weird copy/paste artifact. The script looks OK. I wrote a very simple script and it still gives the same error. The weird thing is that the command itself works and turns the light on. Just to mention I reinstalled HS4 from scratch yesterday, but it hasn't changed anything.

Sub Main(ByVal sParams As String)
    Try
        hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(1290, false, "50", false, true))
    Catch ex As Exception
        hs.WriteLog("Error 1", ex.message)
        Throw ex 'This will pass the exception up to HomeSeer and error out of the script.
    End Try
End Sub

Uncle Michael or jon00 could help you debug that...

Not a clue. Looks like it might be a bug in HS4. Do you get an error if you don't have try/catch?

I expect you are running HS4 on Linux?

One issue is that Mono has an issue running Homeseer commands directly within another in HS4.

Try this:

Change

hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(1290, false, "50", false, true))

To

hs.CAPIControlHandler((hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(1290, false, "50", false, true)))

Does that work?

[dkrupenn]

WOW! That worked:
hs.CAPIControlHandler((hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(1290, false, "50", false, true)))

Thank you jon00! What is the general rule when double brackets should be used?

Seemingly unrelated. I am getting this warning now:
JowiHue Warning Warning: event action triggered for Living Room Bathroom Dimmer but is icomplete, it needs to address the feature instead

[jon00]

As I said, nested hs scripting commands may need additional brackets in Linux. Windows is not affected.
