ADIOcelot Plugin

[Rick Tinker]

Michael,

Speaking strictly in VB6/16-bit terms:

An integer uses the 16th bit to indicate positive/negative. Thus, 8000 is -32767 or something like that. When this is passed as bytes or anything where the 16th bit is just another bit, then it works fine. However, it is stored in the database as a signed value, and so it is written as a negative integer and then read into a long integer, so the sign is retained. In the case of &H8000, it becomes &H80000000 because the sign bit is now the 32nd bit instead of the 16th bit. This means that the SetIO bit is turned OFF just through the act of passing this value through different sized variables.

[Michael McSharry]

I guess I'm being dense on this. The VB6 plugin passes the Long value 00008000 as a 32 bit value to HS in the .misc value of a DeviceClass. HS then saves this to the datbase as 80000000 and then retuns it to the DeviceClass.misc in this same manner so the SETIO bit it OFF.

What does a VB6 plugin need to do so the SETIO bit is maintained as HS saves the .misc property to the database?

All the values that are being used within ADIOcelot are declared as Long so if HS has also declared .misc as .NET Integer (32 bit) then there should not be any sign extension. If HS has declared .misc as .NET short (16 bit) then the upper 16 bits of the value from ADIOcelot will be truncated and the 8000 will then appear as a negative number.

I did post the related code from the plugin earlier in this thread. What needs to change so SETIO bit will be maintained?

Michael,

I missed where you mentioned you are using all Long Integers, and I did not look at the code until now.

The issue is likely then to be related to a change in hs_compatibility.exe or something else - as I mentioned before, I am not sure when/where the change was made, but I am not doubting that a change at our end was the catalyst.

However, I am trying to get this moving forward, and that means correcting the situation in a one-time fix. That is, providing there are no places where it goes through a 16 bit integer, then we only need to get the value back to its proper place.

This happened with 1-2 users and the Compose plug-in. Once they changed to using the .NET plug-in so that it would not go through a 16 bit integer, they still had to fix the device, and that was done by deleting it and re-creating it, which is what I was suggesting here.

I am having the same exact problem with HS 2.3. and I am using 1.14.0.3 version. How can I download 1.14.0.10 version?

[Michael McSharry]

The most current versionof the plugin is at the top of this subforum. Download,stopHS, unzip into main homeseer folder to replace previous hspi_adiocelot.ocx

Yes, thank you Michael.

I have been sitting on the sidelines wondering if my system was affected because my garage door sensor connected to Ocelot was not working correctly. Seemed to happen when I upgrade to HS 2.3 but have been busy making sure all my own plug-ins were baheving well with HS 2.3. Installing new ADIOcelot build now.

Any idea why I wouldn't be able to run the setup function either from the config option in setup or the setup function from the drop down area on the window menu for HomeSeer? I migrated from the other Ocelot plug-in some months ago and have never been able to get the setup option to work. Now I am attempting to make some forward progress with my IR and I need the setup capability.

Problem I/O Devices Tab Units not Discovered New Installation

I have moved my Ocelot to a new HomeSeer Machine at my home in Atlanta.

The program sees unit 0

However, it does not see my three 2500 ADICON Secur-16's
there is a Secur-16 and two Secur-16i's....

What trouble shooting things do you recommend......... I was only using the one Secu-16 on the other system at my other home and all was working fine when I shut it down and removed it on Thursday. The leds on the 2500's all indicate they are active and communicating with the Ocelot.

Once I saw one of the Secur-16i's but with unit 0 but that was all....

Cheers,

Gary

[Michael McSharry]

I do not have anything beyond the phsical connections to check and in particular to the first in the chain that is not responding. The plugin queries the ocelot for attached dvices at startup and the respons is displayed on the 1st tab of the setup page.

Gary,
Try to re-address the units. Long long time ago I had the same problem. After playing with the address buttons it was OK. Oh and also for some reason my units (SECU16, SECU16IR) don't like to be powered by the same PS as the Ocelot unit.
Also you can go to the MAX software and see if Ocelot actually sees the units or not. If MAX sees them, the plugin should as well.
