Please help with 'An unexpected error occured in the Check_Motion(0)'

[ggodart]

I've just upgraded to 3.1.5 and I'm getting this error;

Hauppauge Capture Error~!~An unexpected error occured in the Check_Motion(0) function/subroutine: [91 - Object variable or With block variable not set]

When I run the script which used to work with the previous version. No pictures are snapped :-(

sub main()
on error resume next
hs.plugin("Hauppauge Capture").MotionDetected("Inside Hells Kitchen PIR")
if err then err.clear
end sub

Cap Preview and the web interface work a treat.

I'm using a Hauppauge USB device in the UK fed via composite video.

I see no Errors when Homeseer initialises.

Have I missed something?

Thanks

Giles

Giles,

I had this same problem and switched over to using TakePicture and bypassed all the motion stuff entirely. I never got around to reporting the problem, since I decided to do it another way.

Thanks for the steer Bill

It works that way for me too now using Take Picture

I just looked at the code and to me it appears the only way this error could be generated is if there was no motion sensors found based on the "MS Identifier" in the General tab of the config screen.

If you go into "Security Zones" in the config screen - do you see any active security zones? If not check the "MS Identifier" entry in the General tab and make sure it is correct.

Yes there are Active Security Zones and they are armed.

One thing I did notice on one of the versions was that it gave a warning that the house code that was being used for the 'Security Control' devices it was using was [ rather than ]. This is because my Ocelot was already using ] for its variables.

Version 3 did not give the warning and indeed during the set-up did seem to have spotted this.

As you can see above I have worked around this but 'for the good of the code' it would be nice to see it fixed.

I have added extra error checking in 3.1.6 to determine exactly what is causing this error. Will your email accept a zip attachment of 240k?

If so, send me an email to bstein@accesscomm.ca and I'll send it to you along with installation instructions.
