Hi there, and happy holidays to all of you.
I'm new to homeseer and home automation, but have experience from industrial control systems and programming plc's. I also have some experience writing in C and C++, although I haven't practiced it for years.
I'd like to harvest the power of scripting with homeseer, but I cant even get the simplest hs.writelog statement to work.
I think I need help
My system is HS3 Zee2 installed on a Rasberry pi II B.
Razberry GPIO Z-wave controller, 6 connected devices functioning properly.
Z-wave plugin activated.
HStouch plugin activated.
I have a simple C# testscript with very limited code, I've tried it in different versions with slightly different results. At first I copied a simple piece of code from the user manual to a testcript which I run manually from the event page.
testscript.cs
Running this script crashes the system, I can no longer find the homeseer installation using find.homeseer.com, not from the internet and not from LAN. After restarting the Rasberry by pulling the power both z-wave and hstouch plugins are deactivated, but activating from plugin page brings them back to life.
Adding a namespace for "System" by adding (using System
without parentheses as the first line (before the "Main" function call) makes the script run, but now i get a error message in the log instead of the expected "CSHARP From C# TestScript" entry.
Script like so:
testscript.cs
Error message:
I also tried adding more namespaces, like e.g:
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using HomeSeerAPI;
Changing hs.writelog to hs.WriteLog makes no difference either.
What am I doing wrong?
My next step after getting writelog to work is trying to control a virtual device, then sending parameters and finally actual usage on real devices.
