BLRfid plugin NOT working in Linux

[Pete]

Works fine in Windows Homeseer 3. It does not work in Ubuntu Linux Homeseer 3.

Testing the plugin in Linux here...validated the serial connection looking at the serial input.

CS-BTPro:/dev# cat ttyUSB1
1lW9 1iSz 1lW9 1iSz 1lW9 1iSz 1lW9 1iSz 1lW9 1iSz 1lW9 1lW9 1iSz 1lW9 1iSz ^C



So when trying to enter /dev/ttyUSB1 in com option box it changes the input to %dev%ttyUSB1.

Edited the configuration file so it looks like this:

[Settings]
supportForumUrl=http://forums.homeseer.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1076
sendToMessageServerClients=false
sendToBLBroadcastClients=false
debugLevel=true
rfidReceiver1ComPort="/dev/ttyUSB1"

Not seeing any of the tags though via the logging of the plugin.

Looks like the plugin is starting fine.

Am I the first to use this plugin in Linux?

There is nothing seen at all in the debug logs here running the plugin in Linux. Plugin acts fine except that it doesn't see any of the tags.

Only using 12VDC tags in automobiles and nothing else at this time (well since the beginning of the CheaperRFID plugin in the HS2 days).

You may be the first that has tried it in Linux
Can you log a ticket on my site for this so I can keep track of it and I will take a look

[Pete]

Thank you Bob.

Logged a ticket on your support site.

Using the RFID device here to test a LoRa 1 watt 8Km transciever (modem)...IE: you can utilize this remotely in out buildings / detached garage for all sorts of stuff and using your plugin to benchmark the device.

Yep I saw it - will get to it as soon as I can
The next 2 weeks at work are gonna be busy as 3 people are off on vacation
Will let u know

[Pete]

Not an issue Bob. Thank you for the follow up.

[Blade]

You likely need to perform the steps here for the debug logging

Then delete the debug log and capture a new debug
Strange why you could not log to my site

Thank you Bob for the Linux fix to your BLRFid plugin. Working well on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit Linux.

[Blade]

You are welcome - glad to help

[Pete]

Seeing one issue with: (Linux version of plugin)

Last Tag Out Of Range shows: Not Set (never changes)

Where as in Windows it shows:

Last Tag Out Of Range shows: Tag and changes.

Should I open a ticket?

[Blade]

Yea open a ticket and I will take a look

[Pete]

Thank you Bob.

Well now it looks like it is working. It did not work all week.

This morning I disabled the plugin and deleted the Last Tag Out Of Range variable.

I then re-enabled the plugin and first auto used I saw a Last Tag Out Of Range with car used.

[Blade]

Glad its working
Keep an eye on it and let me know
