Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone else had seen this problem.
I have the HAI rc-80 wired up correctly to my Latronix box.
When homeseer starts and loads the Thermostat plugin, the plugin doesnt seem to change the default windows comm port speed of 9600.
As a consiquence, when the HAI rc-80 port on the lantronix box is connected to by the pc it runs at the windows default speed of 9600 and this prevents the thermostat from working.
Issueing a command of "set port 6 speed 300" on the lantronix admin console sets the port to the correct speed and the thermostat plugin works as described.
I do not have this comm port issue with any other device that I am using such as the CM11A computer interface which runs at 4800. Its port on the lantronix is indeed changed to 4800 Baud when homeseer connects to it on startup, and my weather station that runs at 9600 ( although this is also the windows default speed ).
This is only an issue if the system or homeseer falls over and restarts automatically.
As I have stated above I can issue a command on the Lantronix box to fix the problem, but it is not a preferable method as I am often not around to be able to fix these issue due to work commitments ( hence the whole reason for a home Automation System ).
Any Ideas here on how to fix this issue.
Apart from the challenge above, I love the plugin, I have my wireless weather station providing external temperature readings to the thermostat which is soooo cool and the better half likes that feature too.
Cheers
Nick.
