Feature request - udmc...

[dmurphy]

Bob if this was easy to do I would recommend the change.

hs.PluginFunction("BLRadar", "", "ControlDevice", New Object(){"Q12","off" ,0}) --- In HS3 this would fire based on the device code.

This doesn't work in HS4 ( and I fully understand why!)

However it quietly fails.....it would be great if trying to switch a device ref that doesn't exist would cause an error entry in the HS log....

Try 4.0.12 BETA
I have added a warning message when it cannot find the device in the ControlDevice call

Works a charm, thank you!!!

ok......something is amiss....need some guidance.

1. I'm getting controlDevice warnings in Hs log file (see attached). They seem to be caused by motion events so it looks like udmc code is triggering.
2. I believe I've gotten rid of all "device codes" from udmc and replaced with device refs.

I've even checked the BLRadar_udmc.xml file in the config folder and it has been updated. Is the udmc ("device code") stored anywhere else that the plugin could be using?

Does the plug-in itself have an old reference to "Device Code" and use it if the device code exists?

I did spot that Device code exists in the BLRadar.s3db, but stopping plugin, renaming db file and restarting plugin did not change the HS messages. The database did not get recreate upon plugin restart

.

Put your database back because that is for logging activity - the plugin will not recreate it

In the HS scripts folder you will see a BLRadar folder
Stop the plugin and delete all the .vb files in the BLRadar under the scripts folder, then restart the plugin
This will cause the plugin to generate all of the script files again

See if you see the device code errors after this and let me know

Yes that was it thank you......
