EZ trigger not showing up in event creation

[jimbell]

I am using Homeseer v3.0.0.534 and EZ Trigger v3.0.0.65, EZ Trigger is enabled and has a "OK" status. When I create an event, only the standard stuff shows in the first "if" entry box. I have turned on debugging and EZ Trigger is running and showing all the devices that are changing. But it is not usable since I can't use it in a trigger.

To be clear, you're saying these triggers aren't in the drop-down?



Starting with basics, have you tried restarting Homeseer? Disabling/re-enabling the plugin? Uninstall/reinstall the plugin?

So far, I have.....

Uninstalled the plugin
Restarted Homeseer
Installed plugin
Activated plugin

Still missing the easy trigger stuff in events. Again, setting the log level to debug, I see all the easy trigger messages.

Can you post a screen shot of what you see when creating an event?

One thing that was confusing in events is that there will be different triggers for the event trigger vs. the conditions after the trigger event.

Well, my face it a bit red. I was looking at existing triggers and wanted to change them to trigger off of a "string" change. Apparently, once you create an event with one of the default triggers, you cannot later change it to spuds triggers later. I went back and created a new event and spud's triggers were all there. Thanks for all the help.

I don't think that's right... You do however have to back out of the current trigger set by clicking "choose another". (See below.) This will then send you back to the initial list of available triggers and you should see the ET triggers by scrolling down the list a bit.

My results are different than yours. I can create a new event and see all the easy trigger conditions. If I try to change the trigger of an existing event, they do not show up. Attatched are 2 screen shots. A new event and an existing event.

On your second screenshot, when you select "Choose Another" another dropdown is supposed to appear like in the screenshot below.
I have seen this bug on rare occasion after deleting a trigger. You can delete conditions but deleting triggers is likely to cause problems, so avoid that.
Anyway this is a bug in HS3 that affects all triggers, not just EasyTrigger.

As I have written before: never, ever delete a primary Trigger. Never, ever delete a secondary Trigger without first deleting the associated Conditions. Either if these two will render an Event corrupted.
