Send Http get via events

[integlikewhoa]

I just moved from windows HS3 to Linux (same Serial ID) on a pi3 and I'm now having trouble using hs.GetURL in my events or writing a .vb script. Other Scripts seem to work but I don't run many.

I'm using "HS3 Standard Edition 3.0.0.297 (Linux)"

I'm trying to control my Roomba and Blueiris Profiles based off home an away and day and night.

Problem is I get an error after switching to linux.

Oct-25 10:10:03 AM Error Compiling script /usr/local/HomeSeer/scripts/BettyClean.vb:
Oct-25 10:10:03 AM Event Running script in background: /usr/local/HomeSeer/scripts/BettyClean.vb
Oct-25 10:10:03 AM Event Event Trigger "Test"
Oct-25 10:10:03 AM Event Event Test triggered by the event page 'Run' button.

or

Oct-25 9:56:43 AM Error Compiling script /tmp/K13.vb:
Oct-25 9:56:43 AM Info Running immediate script: /tmp/K13.vb
Oct-25 9:56:43 AM Event Running script statement immediately: &hs.GetURL("http://192.168.1.109","/command.json?command=max",True,80)
Oct-25 9:56:43 AM Event Event Trigger "Test"
Oct-25 9:56:43 AM Event Event Test triggered by the event page 'Run' button.

depending if I write my on .vb

The Url "http://192.168.1.109/command.json?command=max" Starts the roomba just fine from a web browser and used to work on windows HS3.

I have the same issues when trying to change blueiris profiles

Oct-24 9:04:25 PM Error Compiling script /tmp/K9.vb:
Oct-24 9:04:25 PM Info Running immediate script: /tmp/K9.vb
Oct-24 9:04:25 PM Event Running script statement immediately: &hs.GetURL("192.168.1.100","/admin?profile=1&lock=2&user=XXXXXX&pw=XXXXX",FALSE,9091)
Oct-24 9:04:25 PM Event Event Trigger "BlueIris AwayDay"
Oct-24 9:04:25 PM Event Event BlueIris AwayDay triggered by the event page 'Run' button.

I have tried changing case on the false, chaining to "0" changing ".hs" to ".nhs"

Anyone see an obvious problem or know of a problem behind the scenes (I'm no good with Linux, maybe a program is didn't get installed?) that could cause this problem?

Thanks,

I just copied/pasted your URL into an immediate script command and it worked fine. Well, it ran, but I dont have a 192.168.1.109 machine, so it died, however, it didnt give me a compilation error.

The script that HS built with that single line script was:

Function Main(parm as object)
dim result as object
result=hs.GetURL("http://192.168.1.109","/command.json?command=max",True,80)
return(result)
End Function

I am also running on Linux, but I am running HS3 Pro instead of Standard edition. That really shouldnt matter since both versions support scripting.

Can you post the contents of your Config/settings.ini file - specifically, the first line:
ScriptingReferences=System.Data.DataSetExtensions;System.Dat a.DataSetExtensions.dll,System.Data.SQLite;bin/System.Data.SQLite.dll

Either I'm not looking in the right area or I don't have that line.

oh wow - that might be the problem.

• Shut down HS
• make a backup of your settings.ini
• add that line I posted
• Start up HS
• see if your script compiles

<cross fingers>

Probley also related to not being able to run scripts I noticed during startup I get the following error.

Oct-25 11:52:33 AM Error Compiling script Startup.vb:
Oct-25 11:52:32 AM Startup Running the startup script Startup.vb

Tested that and have same error.

[rmasonjr]

ouch. That is very strange...

Can you SSH to the box as user homeseer and type:
vbnc

This is the VB compiler with mono.
You'll either get a 'command not found' or 'file not found'
I'm curious if you have a mono issue or not.

I only use "Root" for everything and never created a "Homeseer" user.

I'll test now as root.

[integlikewhoa]

I received this.

root@raspberrypi:~# vbnc

Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'vbnc.Compiler' from assembly 'vbn c, Version=0.0.0.5943, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

[rmasonjr]

Well, that explains the scripting issue you're having. vbnc is the VB compiler that HS uses to compile a script. Your vbnc is not working, so scripts are not being compiled.

Not sure what to tell you - you either need to find a working image that someone has posted to get you going, or start over and use apt-get install mono-complete which should pick up everything mono-related.

I hope someone has posted a Pi3 image somewhere - it would make things easier. I have a Pi3 and havent set it up yet for HS

Well I'm not using the pi version but rather the full linux version. I have ran the mono-complete in the beginning.

Can I run that now or will that screw everything up?

It's hard to say. If you are far enough along, make an image of the SD, then try it out. That way, you can roll back.

Also, I would recommend creating a 'homeseer' user that has sudo access.
You should never run as user 'root'

Can you give more info on the reasons for this. I'm new to linux.

[rmasonjr]

I can do that.

Think of 'root' as the master user that can control the entire OS.
A user 'homeseer' would be a privileged user that can do everything that 'root' can do, in addition to running individual programs and processes.
