Error adding new devices

[davegidd1]

I am getting an error message when I try to add a new device. If I try again, it deletes the device added before it and replaces it with the new one. I've tried resetting everything, including the device and the same thing happens. The error log follows:

256 devices, i think you broken the limit. I can increase the limit. Are all 256 working? i would be interested to know how many links are in the interface database. can you run the 'display interface database' to update the link count

[davegidd1]

All of the devices work, even the ones that were getting an error. I guess the links were uploaded to them before the error prevented them from being added to the list. The last device added shows in the Homeseer device list, but not in the Insteon list.

I ran the display and there are 992 links. It won't let me post it here because it is too long, but I can try to break it up if that will help.

thanks for the info. I'll update the plugin to allow for more devices. i'll post a beta update tomorrow

Mark, you are in a word... INCREDIBLE!!

If every developer supported their software like you do, the world would be an amazing place!!! I hope all your users appreciate your efforts as much as I do...

[davegidd1]

Thanks so much for the quick response!

[mnsandler]

give this beta a try. the beta updater is giving me a fit so you will need to install it manually: stop hs, and unzip just the plugin exe and insteon.dll to the homeseer directory, and restart hs

notes on the beta: this should dynamically adjust to the number of devices already registered, and grow as necessary during the Add process. thus no upper limit.

please make a backup of everything before proceeding.

It seems to be working. I added several more devices just to check and they all worked perfectly. Thank you SO much!

thanks for reporting back. before you get too far in, would you mind deleting a device and re-adding it just to test that use-case

[davegidd1]

Deleted and re-adding works.

It lost contact with the PLM and I had to restart the plugin after reprogramming an 8 button keypad. I'm testing that again right now.

[davegidd1]

It worked reprogramming the keypad this time, no problem.

Speaking keypads, I can't get an 8-button keypad to trigger events. Any thoughts about that? I've tried everything I can think of. It works using a 6-button keypad, so I'm not sure what the issue is. It's not a big deal since I can come up with a different way to do what I want, but if you have some insight I'd appreciate it.

[mnsandler]

i think you may be hitting the plm database link threshold. you only get about 1000 or so.

Can you check the link count in your interface? run the display interface links routine again

[davegidd1]

I'll run it now.

Trying to replace a device I got the original error again:

Your system could not be reprogrammed.

Program And Replace Device: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at Insteon.Support.Core.InsteonModule.ProgramAndReplaceDevice(S tring SrcID, String DestID)

[davegidd1]

I have 992 links.

I'll probably back off using the keypads for anything else. I only have about 5 more devices to add and I'm completely updated...I hope.

you might consider running the reset and reprogram interface routine. this will cleanup wasted space in the interface database and reprogram the necessary links

if you have devices registered outside the plugin, you would need to relink them.

On the 'replace' transaction...were you using the replace function in the plugin?
