    my plugin doesn't have native support for this device. if its doing what you need, then don't worry about the warning. Otherwise there is a custom plugin (search the forum) for this device that works with these devices

      Yes, it's working just fine. I will disregard the warning. Thanks.

        Is it still recommended to use HS3 3.0.0.152 with this Insteon 3.0.5.20 update? I see they released HS3 3.0.0.181 (windows) in late May and I need to do a significant HS3 upgrade (from HS3 3.0.0.96) and would like to be as compatible as possible.

        Thanks!

          i haven't tested .181

          just make a backup of everything is case something goes south

          hs db & insteon.ini are important to the insteon plugin

            I used Oracle Virtual Box to create and run a Debian 8.1.0 VM on top of my Windows 7 HS3 dev box. I was able to use the Virtual Box to map the USB PLM (was on windows COM6) and when Debian mounted it, it showed up as /dev/ttyUSB0 and I was able to successfully use that. I believe Virtual Box has it's own USB driver used for this mapping so maybe that explains why this works.

            I initially copied over my insteon.ini from my Windows 7 HS3 test machine and just updated the port. When I installed and started 3.0.5.20, it complained about no port. After looking at what it created, I saw the issue. It created Insteon.ini (uppercase I) not insteon.ini. I stopped the plugin, deleted the new one, moved my lowercase insteon.ini to Insteon.ini and edited the port to /dev/ttyUSB0. When it came up my handful of test Insteon devices worked with HS3. Cool.

            I did notice one warning after I begain using this plugin on Linux:
            12:00:02:8841:[Warning]->File does not exist: /opt/homeseer/HomeSeer/html/images/HomeSeer/5-x-5_trans_spacer.gif

            But I did see the installer claimed it installed that file
            11:43:01:5161:[Updater]->Starting download of updates

            11:43:02:3607:[Updater]->Install/Update of package Insteon was successful.

            so that prompted me to go exploring

            I think this may be another issue with case-sensitivity on Linux. See the lowercase homeseer dir below with a timestamp matching the plugin install.

            root@debianvm:/opt/homeseer/HomeSeer/html/images# ls -alF | grep -i homeseer
            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:43 homeseer/
            drwxr-xr-x 4 nathan nathan 4096 Nov 21 2014 HomeSeer/

            root@debianvm:/opt/homeseer/HomeSeer/html/images# ls -alF homeseer
            total 12
            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:43 ./
            drwxr-xr-x 14 nathan nathan 4096 Jun 13 11:43 ../
            -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 Feb 8 2007 5-x-5_trans_spacer.gif



            similar issue with scripts vs Scripts but this time the all lowercase scripts seems to be what HS3 wants:

            root@debianvm:/opt/homeseer/HomeSeer# ls -alF | grep -i scripts
            drwxr-xr-x 2 nathan nathan 4096 Nov 21 2014 scripts/
            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:43 Scripts/

            root@debianvm:/opt/homeseer/HomeSeer# ls -alF Scripts
            total 24
            drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:43 ./
            drwxr-xr-x 19 nathan nathan 4096 Jun 13 11:43 ../
            -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15576 Feb 3 2007 Insteon_ExtDevSupport_Sample.vb


            Thanks for all your hard work on this Mark!

            Next step for me is to try my Insteon Thermostat plugin and see how much work I need to do to make it Linux compatible.

              Nathan,
              the case sensitivity is going to be an issue i may not be able to resolve. if for some reason the case is different in the OS than what i have set in the plugin then there is going to be a problem.

              do i just need to publish the name conventions I'm expecting?

              suggestions welcome.

                I just hit the same issue with my Insteon Thermostat plugin with the file Install.txt Kinda an important one. Apparently Linux is expecting all lowercase install.txt while windows doesn't give a bleep. Since that kept me from even installing my plugin I had to address it by adjusting the file I included in my plugin zip distro to just install.txt.

                I only saw those two examples with your distribution. I think if you make the target directories match, case-wise, with what the Linux version of HS3 expects then it'll work in both Linux and Windows.

                  Doesn't this assume the user doesn't change the default HS3 naming convention? i already ran into this with one linux user and thought i had this all worked out in my latest ver. although i don't recall the Insteon.ini being an issue

                    I am only referring to those files you distribute with your plugin and the directories they need to go into, namely the two issues I pointed out above. They should all be relative to wherever the user is running HS3 from on their Linux box.

                    I'm not sure I know what you mean by default naming convention, can you please describe?

                      Nathan,
                      i thought hs3 set some of the folder names with mixed case like
                      "\images\HomeSeer"

                        Right. What I'm saying is in your install.txt, the last two lines look like:

                        Code:
                         
                         5-x-5_trans_spacer.gif,.\html\images\homeseer,16
                        Insteon_ExtDevSupport_Sample.vb,.\Scripts,16
                        if you change them slightly to

                        Code:
                         
                         5-x-5_trans_spacer.gif,.\html\images\[COLOR=red]H[/COLOR]ome[COLOR=red]S[/COLOR]eer,16
                        Insteon_ExtDevSupport_Sample.vb,.\[COLOR=red]s[/COLOR]cripts,16
                        Then I believe your plugin will install those two items correctly for Linux HS3 as well as Windows HS3. Right now on Linux it ends up creating new directories and you files are the only thing in them which I don't think is what you want.

                        I had even one further problem in that I used Install.txt instead of install.txt so until I fixed that I couldn't even get my plugin to install on Linux.

                          ok, i'll make these changes in my next package and we'll see what happens. I'm sure this break someone else's install

                            Those directories I'm pointing to come right from the HS3 Linux tar distribution. I'm not sure how or why someone else would customize/change these from there? Once your next update is out I'll plan to test under Linux again. Just trying to help

                              This device is the EZFlora Model #5010A. While I can link it to an eight-button keypad, I can't control it from HS3.
