PHLocation V2 Discussion

[teladog01]

I've not read all 38 pages of this thread, and a search of the thread turned up no relevant results, so apologies if this has been reported and discussed already....

Decided to try out PHLv2 tonight. When I enter my email and click the Register button on the General Settings tab of the plugin config page, nothing happens except for this error in the log:

Feb-17 9:50:35 PM PHLocation2 Error (RequestRegKey) WE:The operation has timed out

The License Status still says "Trial with 30 days remaining".

Is this a known issue? Not a biggie, guess I've got 30 days to get it resolved

Just found this thread, looks like maybe the registration server is down.

Steve, I've left the two "Execute immediate script" on and am waiting with baited breath for the way forward, Mike

If Spud says it's possible to copy the status only devices, I'll go that route with easy trigger. For now, I've set the previous location to status only and doing the script commands. It seems to be the most reliable way to update the device.

UPDATE: Setting things back to Both resolved the issue. There's something wrong with the download for v 507 so we'll have to wait on that. Reading the fixes for that release, I don't think we'll be able to hide the controls. I've reached out to Spud to see if he can allow a status only device to be copied to another status only device.

Mike,

It looks like I'm still having problems updating the Previous location device with anything set to Status for the Status-Controls. I'm going to set them all back to "Both" and see if that resolves the issue.

Steve, to answer your question yes I too have On/Off Controls showing (see attached) even after I de-select "Status only" Checkbox and set the Status-Control to all reflecting "Status". Randy do you have any insight as to how we can turn it off? Mike

Download homeseer v 507 , it deals with that

Mike,

I also removed the status only checkbox and set the status-controls to status and easy trigger is still able to update the previous location. Interestingly, I have an on and off control still showing, even though nothing is set to control or both. Do your devices show the on and off controls? I have a feeling there's something still set to control somewhere (just can't see it) which is why easy trigger still works with everything set to status.

[MNB]

Thanxs Randy, that was the ticket! I'm able to update using EasyTrigger without error. I noticed that I know have multiple controls within the control section so I changed Both to Status and that too seem to work without producing an error...

Thanxs Steve, based on Randy's recommendation it looks like EasyTrigger can update the previous location device, have you confirmed? Mike

Steve, I've verified that I still get the same EasyTrigger Error (see below) even after I re-create a new virtual device from scratch (see attached screen shots);

You need to deselect “Status Only Device” so that Easy Trigger can control it.

Here you go. I'm heading out and I'll test more. I think I may go back to the script method as well since it works flawlessly.

[MNB]

Steve, in my attempts of copying your updates, I deleted your previous method of using an immediate script would you repost your previous solution as it seemed to work until we're able to get EasyTrigger to work as advertised.

I should have kept it and use Randy's suggestion of toggling "NEVER" which would have kept the previous solution without compromising the Event. Mike
