Connection Problems - Never connected with latest Revs

[AZshooter]

Hi all.

I downloaded the latest revisions of the HSTouch Plug-in (server) 1.0.0.33 and HSTouch Client 1.0.0.54.

I've gone through everything I can think of to get them to connect, but I cannot get it to work.

I am running the HST client directly on my HS2 PC.

When I restart HS2 I get an error message in the log. It reads:

HSTouch Server - Failed registration of GENERIC EVENT callback: Public member 'RegisterGenericEventCB' on type 'hsapplication' not found.

Also, when I try to run the client I get the following error message:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168.1.17:10200

Am I the only one with these issues? Anyone offer some help?

Thanks in advance.

What version of HomeSeer are you running?

[AZshooter]

I am running HomeSeer 2 version 2.2.0.66

Thanks.

[Rupp]

This version of HomeSeer is too old to run the newer releases of HSTouch. Try upgrading to the latest version of HomeSeer from here and try again. http://www.homeseer.com/downloads

Ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Nope....no love. Installed the HS2 v2.5.0.4 but same errors.

Both the client and the designer give the "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168.1.17:10200" error message.

This time however there are no errors in the HS log.

This is typically caused by a firewall or antivirus software blocking access or invalid information in your clients connection information. IE user name or password.

[AZshooter]

I have closed my virus software and the firewall. No good.

Just to restate - I am trying to run the HST client and designer software on the same machine that I run HS2.

I've tried several combinations of "HomeSeer Name or IP Address" entries in these programs:

HomeAuto2 (my machine name)
192.168.1.17 (my local IP)
localhost

None of them work. I get the message that the target machine is actively refusing the connection.

Does the designer connect ok on the HomeSeer pc?

[Rupp]

What port is the connection set to? It should be 10200. The user name and password should be an admin account as well.

[AZshooter]

Does the designer connect ok on the HomeSeer pc?

Neither the designer nor the client connect to the server, which is located on the same machine (my HomeSeer 2 machine).

I don't know whether this is relevant, but I "remote desktopping" into that box in order to develop touchscreens and configure HS and HST.

[AZshooter]

What port is the connection set to? It should be 10200. The user name and password should be an admin account as well.

I have configured both the designer and the client to use port 10200. Even though I am running on the same box as HS2 I also forward that port to the HS2 box's IP address.

[Rupp]

If neither are connecting then something is not configured correctly or something is blocking access. I would try uninstalling all your HSTouch software and reload using the latest version of each from http://www.homeseer.com/downloads and see if this helps. The designer should connect out of the box with no changes on your local HS pc.

[AZshooter]

Well, after I removed and reinstalled of all things HST I am now connecting to the server with designer on the local HS machine, and remotely with my iPad.

I have not tried the remote connection (from outside my LAN) which will require the port forwarding on my router and the use of a friendly URL (DynDNS.org).

I'll try that out later.

Thanks for the help Rupp.

Glad you got this sorted. Now have fun.
