Welcome to the wonderful world of XML. It's choking on the ° character in your devicestring.

Within the HomeSeer/html/include folder
<LI> edit the Ultra_View2_XML.inc file.
<LI> Search for "' Stip out any HTML that can cause XML to choke"
<LI> Add the following code below strDeviceString = Strip(...
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
strDeviceString = replace(strDeviceString, "°", "& #176;")
</pre>
Note: Remove the space between & and #176; above.

Let me know if that works.

Regards,
Ultrajones

This is very likely the aged ole degree symbol choking XML. Widely reported, but haven't found a definitive solution. I have modified scripts to eliminate the unwanted symbols, but as scripts and plugins get added, this gets to be a pain. I assume there must be a way from UltraSuite to suppress or convert these unwanted symbols before processing them. I upgraded to 2.09 and have same problem with creating the ultra_view2.cfg file using the latest ultra_view2_config.htm file.

UltraJones - I know you have posted this answer many time, just haven't found the definitive answer. Are you trapping the symbols now with 2.09? Is there a code snippet that could be added if not? Can this answer be stickied?

Thanx for once more responding to this question.

EDIT: we posted same time. I added that line and same problem. The device that is now choking it is from the RCS Serial thermostat plugin. it shows 70 degrees (symbol) F on device code &1. Also, can't get the ultra_view2_config.htm to load HS devices. Wonder if this too is choking on a degree symbol.

It looks like you intoduced an error to the underlying script. Try backing out the change you did...
