favorites don't seem to work

[llcameron]

Hi!

I have several machines all running 2.4.186 client, and they all seem to have the same small problem. If I add an event to the 'favorites', and righy click the icon in the tray, select Favorites, then the event I added, it doesn't run the event. Earlier version did, but I think somewhere along the way this feature got broke. If I right click 'favorites', then select 'favorites', I can right click the event in the window that pops up and right click and select 'run' and it will run, so I know its not the event itself. I think this feature is broken! Any plans to fix it? Its a great feature to have!

favorites problem

Hmm...I have this problem on all three of my 2.4.186 client installation machines. Its only doesnt work when I right click the ms_client icon in the tray, select favorites, menu over and left click the thing that I added to be a favorite.

The event I'm running does only consist of the manual execution of a script. Don't know if that helps any.

con't

Sorry, I was answering a different question

I only have the one event on the favorites menu.

BTW I LOVE this program! Nice job!

Favorites don't work for me either.

I set up a simple hs.execx10 command as a favorite and it doesn't work either. My fav.xml file is:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<ROOT>
    <FAV>
        <NAME><![CDATA[Den Light ON]]></NAME>
        <TYPE>Custom</TYPE>
        <CODE>0</CODE>
        <MISC><![CDATA[hs.execx10 "P4","off",0]]></MISC>
        <DIMABLE/>
    </FAV>
</ROOT>

I just found the problem.
The problem was if you are not using the HS_User security type.

This works! My favorites are launching fine now from the tray context menu.

Dick,

What security type are you using?
Do you get any message box?

I am using "Include". If I set it to 'HS Users', when I start the client it asks for a User Name and Password. I enter my normal Homeseer (admin) user name and password and it doesn't accept it and asks again. Do I have to set up a separate User Name and Password for Message Server? If so, where do I do this? I could not find a place to do so.

I get no message box. I get nothing and no error messages. Nothing happens.

FYI, I am using Server version 1.4.20 and client version 2.4.188.

Dick,

The client 1.4.188 was for a bug in the recent BETA and will work with Message Server 1.4.182

Install Message Server BETA from the HomeSeer updater and it should work.

The server update seems to have done the trick. It is working for simple X10 ON/OFF commands. Now I'll start playing with events.

THANKS!!!
