Scripting diffs HS2 vs HS3

[djbeam]

Based on some HS3 documentation, there is an indication that old HS2 scripts should continue to work in HS3.

I am having issues with the HS2 scripts not working in HS3.

Is there any documentation or direction of what works and what does not work .. HS2 - HS3.

There is no differences document that I know of, you are best posting the errors and/or scripts and the errors will likely show the problem.

The main one that does not exist in HS3 which was a popular one in HS2 is hs.execX10, for that you are best off looking on this board for examples of CAPI commands.

The easiest way to detect differences and receive guidance is to test your scripts with TenScripting3.

To generate scripting statements to access a device's properties, and to perform defined actions via CAPI, check out tenScriptAid, great in combination with tenScripting3.
