    Running remotely

    Is it possible to run this plugin remotely?
    I currently have HomeSeer running in a virtual machine and do not have a physical port to plug in my USB modem.

    EDIT
    I have been 'playing' with limited success.
    I have my modem plugged into the Server 2019 PC that hosts my Hyper-V Virtual machines. HS is running on a Windows 10 VM. It is 'happy' in Device Manager.

    By reading a variety of posts I have managed to get the plugin running on the physical machine but the CMD box stops at 'UltraCID3 version 3.0.6681.3400 initializing...'
    I copied;
    HSPI_ULTRACID3.exe
    HSPI_ULTRACID3.exe.config
    Scheduler.dll
    HSCF.dll
    HomeSeerAPI.dll
    ultracid3.db3 (this was copied after I'd got it working in case it helped, it didn't!)

    In HS4 the plugin becomes active saying Loaded Remotely.

    However I cannot access the configuration.

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Ultrajones Hi, have you any comment?

      I never tried running a plug-in remotely. Have you reached out to HomeSeer support? I see you're missing SQLite. You'll likely need those files as well because of the database.
      Plug-ins: UltraMon, UltraM1G, UltraCID, Ultra1Wire, UltraLog, UltraWeatherBug, UltraPioneerAVR, UltraGCIR

        Thank you. I have it working but my solution was a bit 'clunky'. I wasn't sure what files I needed for SQLite, so I copied the complete HS directory. It works! The command "HSPI_ULTRACID3.exe server=192.168.1.15" (the IP being the VM running HS4) on the remote PC starts it up. I now need to play to get it running as a service, but that will be the icing on the cake :-)

          Can anybody advise me which files I actually need rather than copying the whole HS directory?
          Cheers

            I'm still looking for an answer here - anybody got any thoughts?
