No error today.
Something in regard to the devices for counters and timers is perhaps a little off...

Nope. Didn't work.

[Moskus]

And this is freaking me out! I'm stuck!

I've made a simple plugin to get electric power prices and electric power consumption from Tibber. It's working great except at one user.

Apparently "TibberSeer" is attempting to register a duplicate link WHICH IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
I don't know what's going on here, but 435 is doing something weird about this!

The weird thing is that on all my own systems (running both Windows and Zee2s) it's working great, so it's hard to debug.


Solutions, please?

It looks like maybe a second instance of the plugin might be loading, is that possible?

There is a bug that I am sure I posted about somewhere in one of these threads but if you register a normal link and run a remote plugin it does not appear that the plugin name shows in the remote plugin name field (it is just blank). Registering a config link makes the name of the plugin show up just fine. Not sure if that is related and could be behaving also differently in Linux?

Attached is a demo image, top one I don't register a config link (just a standard one), bottom one I do.

Yes, I noticed that too and it might be possible, but I'll leave it to you to explain WHY HomeSeer is loading it twice...

Even when he stops the plugin and kills both processes, "TibberSeer" can't connect. Even when started manually.

voice command

Sorry,
Even with version 435 the problem that I had highlighted in 425 in my system remains the same, ie the voice commands in INPUT no longer work. Until version 368 I did not have this problem and I could send voice commands from my smartphone and they worked well. Now I have to change something in the programming of the event?
Do you have the solution?

It seems that somehow the PED in two devices was corrupted. New devices worked.

[Rvtravlr]

Has the problem with timer devices been fixed? I rely on the device itself in some cases.

Is SONOS tts working?

Thanks,

[mikee123]

SONOS TTS is working fine for me.

Thanks,

The problem is not with the devices themselves, it is with some plugins that try to do too much processing in the HSEvent callback. Because the timer devices are updated every second, an HSEvent callback is generated per device per second. If there are a lot of timer devices and the plugins take too long in the callback, it slows down core HomeSeer processing. This has always been there in HS3, but the new release now identifies the problem and issues a warning message.

selecting graphics problem

.435 seems to be stable and running fine. but three times I have had the file tree structure under, status graphics, graphic status path, edit.....(the little popup window that lets you select the graphic) it is just blank. nothing is there. If I do a repair, the file structure returns, but then fails after awhile. you can still put in the proper path manually and it pulls the graphic like it should. but the popup window to select is blank. Anybody else notice this?

[langenet]

You sure it's not browser related. I just tried with mine and IE and I don't see the problem you're describing - Been up for 10 days 15hr as a Fire Daemon service.

no it's not a browser problem. I use 2 different machines and 2 different browers (edge, firefox) same result messed up again...3 times or more.

appears to be a permanent condition...now a repair does not even fix it.... I think I figured it out....the file system does not like folder names with gaps in them. folder names like "birthday icons" is bad..."birthday_icons" is good.

Is anyone receiving the grammar error below?

Exception saving grammar data to file C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\Grammar\Grammar_Data_<SERVER_NAME>#Default.hs : The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\Grammar\Grammar_Data_<SERVER_NAME>#Default.hs' because it is being used by another process.

The folder is excluded from virus scans, virus software has also been disable and uninstalled, the errors remain.

I have tried using process explorer (proexp) to view the processes that may have the file open. So far I have not been able to catch anything (gotta be fast I guess).

None of my devices or events are setup with voice commands, so I am not real sure what could be causing the issue.

I have opened the XML file in IE and it did not identify anything as being out of sorts, so not real sure where to go from here on this error. To be honest, ignoring the error is difficult since it repeats itself so often.

I really do not like shutting off an error "just because", however I have reviewed several prior post with this error and no one seems to have a permanent solution to the grammer error. Is there a way to shut off this error or positively correct it?

I have reviewed the posts below as well as others and have not found any solution...
