Noob to Tasker Plugin with a problem getting started.
Problem:
I am having trouble getting my first tasker routine to turn "on" or "off" a device in homeseer as a "first test". I think it is my lack of understanding the steps needed to complete the task to communicate a command properly to HS3. Maybe one simple additional step?
Setup:
The Tasker plugin seems to be communicating with HS3 system. I get "successful" when doing the connection setup process in Tasker on S7 phone. When I run debug from the Tasker app I get "successful" speaking from my HomeSeer3 System and that leads me to believe my setup is correct.
I tried SSL checked and unchecked.
I do have multiple routers in my home but made sure that I was connected to the same router that my HS3 system is Lan cable connected to. If I connect to another of the routers I do get the "successful" speak from th HS3 System when I run Debug.
443 is port forwarded to my homeseer local IP address.
I looked in router log after running the task but nothing looked wrong. I think there were two lines of info.
I am also using MyHomeseer account and HSTouch/Designer successfully on my Phone.
When I turn off my wifi on phone and run debug, I don't get "successful" speak from HS3 system. I assume this is a connection issue I'll need to work out later.
I tried with AVG turned off on HS3 system as well as firewall turned off.
Tasks:
I decided there must be a task step I was missing so I cloned the debug task and added at the end, the steps I think are required to turn my test device on/off. I still get the "successful" speak coming through to the HS3 system but nothing else. In the homeseer log I see the speak line but nothing for the command to turn device "on".
Here are the 3 (4) tasks steps (that I added at the end of the debug task routine):
Using Variable Set
%HSSetdevicevalue To 100
%HSSetdevicestring To ON (added this for my last test with no help)
%HSref To 9
%HSCommand To DeviceUpdate
My HS3 Test Device Info:
My device value in HS3 is 9. (here are other setting in the device)
Reference ID 9
Technology Address B7
Status 0 = OFF
Value 0 = "Off"
String
Supports Status False
Dimmable False
Device Type Internal No API, Type: Type 0, SubType:
Device Type (String)
Misc Settings Show Values, Generate Voice Command
Device Image File images\Devices\Image-Not-Selected.png
Thumbnail Image File images\Devices\Image-Not-Selected_small.png
Relationship Status Not Set
Additional Info:
I have exited and saved Tasker, as well as rebooted HS3 System and Phone.
Looking at the run log from within Tasker, I don't see any errors but not sure what to look for.
When I log back into Tasker on the Phone I see multiple warnings/errors. Sometimes there are 6 to 10 warnings. I suspect these warning may be the sign that something isn't set correctly but not sure what.
Plugin:16.42.05#Plugin:warning:getIndexByCode:no match:type: Action code 18226
Plugin:16.42.05#Plugin:warning:non-existing plugin code type Action:5717
Plugin:16.42.05#Plugin:warning:getIndexByCode:no match:type:Action code 5717
I do have autoremote installed on the Phone. I think it is working because when I paste the assigned URL code into my browser I get the page showing send a message to your Android device.
Any help in guiding me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
