Thanks Pete! Please let me know if you find any issues as it runs over time.

X10 plugin working fine with newest Linux HS4 beta update version 4.0.3.2

[Pete]

I will just remove it from the Homeseer root directory.

The adding devices issues relates to adding any device (not just X10) specifically with the new beta version of HS4.

[mfisher]

I suspect that HS4 is looking for the plugin file name to match the class in the plugin. By renaming the plugin to

HSPI_X10-V146.exe HS4 cannot find the class HSPI_X10-V146 in the plugin but then figures this out and looks for the HSPI_X10 class. I'll bet if you rename the exe back to HSPI_X10.exe this error will disappear.

[Pete]

The attached zip file contains the v.48 of the X10 plugin (.exe only) and the Help.htm and supporting image file. Just copy the help and image file to the HomeSeer/html/X10 folder

Just renamed the Help.htm to help.htm.

The add an X10 device doesn't work with the newest HS4 beta.

Will get back to testing in the next few days.

Updated afterwards to newest HS4 Beta. That said it loads the plugin fine.

I can see it under the HS4 plugins and did see an error in the log when starting HS4 newest beta.

Thanks for the update Pete!! Ugh, I thought I had resolved the installer help file issue but it looks like I did not. The attached zip file contains the v.48 of the X10 plugin (.exe only) and the Help.htm and supporting image file. Just copy the help and image file to the HomeSeer/html/X10 folder and you'll be good. Note that the help file is old and still needs updating...

Please let me know if you find any issues and thank you again for your assistance!

Added X10 plugin V3.0.0.46 on new Linux HS4 box. Looks like it installed but do see an error.

Install/Update of package X10 failed.

Error, package file not found: /opt/HomeSeer/Updates3/X103.0.0.46/Help.htm

Interface is showing OK.

Shut it down and updated to V3.0.0.48



Added one X10 device - X1 Chime module.

Works fine.


Logs look OK. Only thing I cannot clip and paste them via HS4 so did this via legacy logs.

Pickles871 Thanks for the log file, I'll review it as soon as I'm able.

[Pete]

Will do today.

[mfisher]

Pete Yes, please do! Install the 'legacy' X10 plugin from the updater (currently v.46) then drop the beta HSPI_X10.exe over the installed one. I'm definitely looking forward to your feedback!

[Pete]

Is it time to test application on HS4 in Linux?

Going baby steps here with a new box for HS4. I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 and a Windows 7e instance on the box.

I have a few extra CM11A's to test with.

[Pickles871]

Log attached. Not too many warnings. Mostly okay. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Pickles871 Thanks! It is entirely possible that 1 sec just isn't enough time on a 50Hz system. It will be interesting to see what your log reveals.
