I just realized (sorry if I'm late to the party) that there are 2 ways to define an EVL action in an event:
1- Control device / Select EnvisaLink element (ex: partition 1) / select State (ex: Arm away)
2- EnvisaLink action / Action type (ex: Partition arm - away) / Select partition (ex: partition 1)
I suspect that both ways will result in the same end result for the event.
EXCEPT that if you select a plugin action, example 2 above, as opposed to Control device for an event and if you then copy the event, the event copy will not reproduce the parameters ('Partition arm - away' and 'partition 1').
I found this behavior to be true for another plugin (Nathan's Insteon thermostat plugin)
No big thing, but it shouldn't be. The fact that both plugins exhibit the same behavior makes me think this could be outside of the plugin's control, maybe an HS bug?
Spud - any thoughts?
P.S. I've left a duplicate post in Nathan's forum
