Dim Android display from linux HS3

[Leylander]

Hi, all,
I am trying to get my Android tablets to dim from a Linux (HS3 ZEE S2 Edition 3.0.0.357 (Linux)) install and trying it via a script.

Using:
Sub Main(byval input as Object)
hs.PluginFunction("HSTouch Server", "", "ClientAction", {89,"HOMETROLLERZEES2:BELLA",".01",""})
End Sub


Error:

Any help will be appreciated.

Try leaving out the "byval", making it just

Sub Main(input as Object)

Thanks. Did that and got the same error.

Got rid of error message in the log by:

Sub Main(input as Object)
hs.PluginFunction("HSTouch Server", "", "ClientAction", New Object() {89,"HOMETROLLERZEES2:BELLA","0",""})
End Sub

Now I just need the screen to dim - but I have read that some tablets don't dim. Is this just a china tablet (android) thing?

Software-controlled dimming seems to be all over the board! Some won't dim at all, some will dim a lot - but won't go all the way off. I've never seen anyone mention a way to tell other than buy one and try it! Bummer! Maybe we could start a new thread somewhere where users could post their tablet model and whether it has no, partial, or full support for dimming?

BTW, my Insignia 10" tablet [from BestBuy] falls in the "dims a lot but won't go all the way off" category. The original Homeseer WFTT07 series 1 offers full support, but the series 2 does not.
