    New SEL throwing error on Chromecast.exe

    I've got brand new SEL-Pro delivered today. I get this message in the logs after I register. How do I fix this? I did not even load any plugins yet.

    Warning, Cannot load EXE file (possibly missing dependencies) HSPI_Chromecast.exe: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.Warning, Error details with EXE HSPI_Chromecast.exe: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=4.0.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

    If you never installed the Chromecast plugin yourself, it means someone else did before the SEL was sent to you.
    If you don't need the Chromecast plugin, then you have to delete the HSPI_Chromecast.exe file from your HomeSeer directory. The easiest way would be to run the linux tools command:

    Code:
    sudo rm HSPI_Chromecast.exe

      Here's the thing. I did a factory reset. Booting the SEL up with keyboard, mouse and monitor attached and picking restore the factory defaults from restore partition.

      It was still there after a reimage. I then tried to install the plugin, because I do want it, and it won't install. Got this in the log

        Check if there is a file Newtonsoft.Json.dll in the HS3 root (/usr/local/HomeSeer). If so, remove or rename it and try again.

          No that file is not there. I'm also getting an error trying to install Ecobee. I found this thread https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/th...seer-sel/page2

          I'm getting the exact same error as he did a year later, I just bought it. So they did nothing to fix the missing the mono file for over a year! I'm pretty sure the issue is mono related, but I only know enough to be dangerous.

          So I removed EcoBee from the plugin screen and also used putty to connect into the box and deleted anything that said EcooBee or Chromecast.

          I ran
          sudo apt-get -y install libmono-microsoft-csharp4.0-cil
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get upgrade
          I copied over Ecobee version 22 zip update and the override file. I installed plugin 22 and still get the issue it did not fix it like it did in the thread above. I also tried to load the load the Chromecast plug in and get the same thing again.

            What version of mono does it come with?

            Code:
            mono --version

              So I went searching and found a thread were zwolfpack walked somebody through getting mono updated on SEL. I finally got to a point were:
              sudo apt-get install mono-devel
              sudo apt-get install mono-complete
              sudo apt-get -y install libmono-microsoft-csharp4.0-cil
              sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon

              All worked and now EcobBee and ChromeCast are working.

              IT SEEMS very Vera like, that I would have to do all this on brand new $700 box. Thank goodness for the user community. It worries me slightly.

              Here's the thread I used to get mono working and plugins working.

                HOMESEER WE HAVE A PROBLEM. Same thing here, new unit. I just wasted and entire day on this! Fortunately my Zee S2 is up again. Order (#38389) now has a RMA. Contacting Sales in the morning.

                  Andy, since getting the installed Ubuntu 14:04 running. IT was bothering me that system was running an old OS and version of Mono. I blew away the factory install and did a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Mono 5.18 and applied the VBNC patch so ASPX pages work.

                  Oh, I also had to configure the system to start HS3 on boot.

                    Thanks for the reply! Brand new, cost $419. The lost time and putting my Smart Home back together with the slower Zee. Hopefully HomeSeer pulls the stock and checks them, suspect a bad software load? At first, I thought "I've got to be doing something wrong." The instructions talk about HS touch (page 3 "Once HS Touch has finished installing...") which I didn't understand either.

                      Don't turn purple holding your breath As I understand it this was brought to their attention a while ago.

                      I was also very unhappy to find that the brand new SEL I got could not run current plugins without errors. This was especially maddening since I tested everything on a trial Raspberry Pi and it worked fine there. That was the basis for deciding to invest in an HS3 based system, I kind of felt cheated.

                        I'm working with Jon in Sales. They are trying to duplicate the problem? They have my config info and my $420 so I'll stay on top of it! I also suggested they read these posts in the SEL forum. Thanks for your help and info!

                          Thanks to the help of zwolfpack I was able to fix the issue on the SEL master. I am working on a script version of the fix to issue to users experiencing this issue. Currently the script requires SSH, but I am working on getting it to work in Linux tools. I appreciate everyone's patience and thank you zwolfpack!

                            Success! After several hours of work got the SEL working via SSH:

                            1. sudo rm HSPI_Chromecast.exe

                            2. ALL my imported events from the ZEE backup were broken as described here under SEL forum:
                            I even tried exporting my events via the LABS tab but they were saved in a file C:/… that linux couldn’t access. forum topic - event triggers gone after mono upgrade

                            3. I recreated all my 70 events again and my home is running on the new SEL! My old Zee (backup only) is ready to be plugged back in as a backup to my Smart Home.

                            4. So far everything looks good and I have Imperihome running and Alexa. Here is my SEL as of a few minutes ago:

                            5. The last UNRESOLVED PROBLEM is if I have the SEL connected directly with a monitor and keyboard I can log into the SEL but the USB mouse doesn’t work. I suspect that is from the bad software load on the unit (Linux Mouse Driver?), not critical but would be nice to fix.

                            This was a brand new box so please pull any units from stock and fix so someone else won’t go through this!
                            As others have stated on the forum, you really get to learn Linux.

                            The good news is HS response is zippy compared to my old ZEE!
