Insteon X10 Crash - Happens Almost Daily

[SpaceGhost]

I am using the Insteon Plugin for Insteon devices only, and use the X10 plugin for X10 devices. However, the Insteon Plugin crashes almost daily on an X10 issue, and creates an error report. Here are the relevant portions. The log is almost 2MB. I can attached the full log if needed.

[mnsandler]

thanks for reporting this. I need to add a switch to allow you to turn off/on x10 processing in the insteon plugin since you are using a different x10 plugin

[mnsandler]

I changed the plugin so x10 processing is disabled by default. You don't need to do anything other than upgrading

please try 3.0.3.17 on the following thread and let me know

Thanks for the update!

I've upgraded to 3.0.3.17, and left the option to use X10 off. So far, so good. No crashes or messages. I'll let it run for awhile and let you know how it goes.

Version 3.0.3.17 has been running about a day and a half with no crashes whatsoever. I'd say it is fixed.

Thanks, Mark!
