UltraStatus Rules

[MFULLER]

Hey Guys,

Right, I did have a big question here, but I worked it out for myseld. But I do have another quick question. Is there a way to put HTML in the rule string ? for example < B > Door Open < / B > ??

Many thanks

Marc

Yes, rules can support HTML.

[MFULLER]

Yes, rules can support HTML.

Hmm, that's interesting. I did originally try putting <b> and </b> in one of the rules.. when I did, I had some problems.

I had A10 set to ON=OPEN OFF=CLOSED
I had A1 set to ON=ARMED and OFF=DISARMED

When I sent an A1 ON then ultrastatus set A1 to OPEN, not ARMED.

Once I removed the HTML, it worked perfectly again.

Am I missing something ?

Many Thanks

Marc

OK, seems there is something strange going on here. Even if I remove all html I am still getting the wrong status put onto a device.

As above, when A1 turns on, it's showing FIRE DETECTED instead of ARMED. I've rechecked the rules and they all look ok....

If I remove A10 and A11 from the Fire Sensor rule, then the Alarm Status rule starts working correctly !

Anyone able to help ? Please ??

Download the version I just uploaded to the Updater to see if the change I made helps.

Hey Ultra,

Thanks for the reply ! Unfortunatley the update did not help. I am still seeing this problem.

I have listed the config file below.. obviously I had to remove some of the code that effected me posting it.

RuleItem ID="1150904120" Name="DuskDawn Sensor" Enabled="True" DevOn="Night Time" DevOff="Day Time" DevOther="Unknown" DevCodes="B6" Logging="True"
RuleItem ID="1150904839" Name="Fire Sensor" Enabled="True" DevOn="FIRE DETECTED" DevOff="All Clear" DevOther="Unknown" DevCodes="A4,A7,A8,A9,A10,A11" Logging="True"
RuleItem ID="1150905460" Name="Motion Sensor" Enabled="True" DevOn="MOTION DETECTED" DevOff="Idle" DevOther="Unknown" DevCodes="A2,B2,B8" Logging="True"
RuleItem ID="1150905607" Name="Magnetic Sensor" Enabled="True" DevOn="OPEN" DevOff="Closed" DevOther="Unknown" DevCodes="A5,A6" Logging="True"
RuleItem ID="1150906773" Name="Alarm Status" Enabled="True" DevOn="ARMED" DevOff="DISARMED" DevOther="Unknown" DevCodes="A1" Logging="True"

Many Thanks

Version 1.0.2369 contains the fix. You're running 1.0.2362. It's available via the updater.

[MFULLER]

Ah ok... this is weird.

I actually did run the updater earlier, but hadn't noticed this in the log...

[MFULLER]

OK, looks like it installed correctly now.. but..

04/07/2006 16:41:13 Error Initializing interface: UltraStatus->InitIO() failed. HSPI not initialized correctly.

So I looked into hspi_ultrastatus_debug.log and saw this..

Any help appreciated.

What the ... That code no longer exists ...

I'll recompled the program and uploaded a new version. Please try downloading again. The new version is 1.0.2376.19978.

[MFULLER]

OK, this is getting very weird now.

I don't know if my updater is broken or what, but if I go into updater I see this...

No UltraStatus Plug-in 1.0.2376.19978 1.0.2369.28882 Free Ultrajones

So I put a tick next to it and click next. I then get the downloading pending box and eventually the "You need to restart homeseer" box. So I restart Homeseer, but it's still showing the same version. I checked the Updates2 directory and UltraStatus is not there.. it's not even downloading it :\

I'm guessing my updater must be knackered.

[MFULLER]

Ultra,

It appears that I can't downlaod the newest version..

05/07/2006 10:32:19 Updater Retrieving updates control file...
05/07/2006 10:34:11 Updater Starting download of updates

05/07/2006 10:34:11 Updater Error downloading file: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

It's weird as the updater says it was done, but the log shows differently. I guess I need to submit that to HST as a bug. so, it looks as if it can't find the file to download from your site.

Appreciate your help.

I am getting the same 404 error when I try to download the latest version, also.
