    mcsTemperature Version 6

    V6 of mcsTemperature replaces V5. V6 will be the supported version going forward. Prior discussion thread is at http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=116165. This is an incremental change with the primary difference giving the user the abilty to select the axis to be used on an individual sensor basis.

    I was about to whine that since installing this, my rain gauge wasn't counting. This is the first day it's rained since last month.
    Glad I didn't.
    I went up on the roof to tip the bucket to make sure and found the bug, a real bug, had built a coocoon right behind the tipper, preventing movement.
    Reminded me of this:

      I installed the old version from the updater, and noticed that even though I'm running PRO it created a new directory under the standard location. I took the v6 dll and dropped it in the root of hsPro and it seems to work OK. FYI I suppose.

        correction, maybe all is not well. I just saw this in my log:


        10/23/2009 5:19:31 AM - Error - Initializing script run: File 'C:\Program Files\HomeSeer HSPRO\scripts\mcsTemperatureActions.vb' not found.


        is that related to the install in wrong directory?

          The mcsTemperature installer will place that file on your computer. There are many other files that also get installed at this time beyond the basic hspi_mcsTemperature.ocx. I have attached the .vb file here, but if you continue to have missing files then use the updater to install the files and then get the latest .ocx from the message board.

            The files aren't missing, they are in the directory that the installer created. I think it is because I'm running PRO and the installer was written before PRO existed maybe, or whatever, but it didn't install anything to the pro directory.

            I'll play around with moving them manually, and report progress.

              When you run the mcsTemperature installer it prompts you for the install path. The default if for HS2 on C drive. You need to change it to your install location if it is not the default.

                Small Bug with saving graph config

                I have just updated 6.0.7 and have noticed that sometimes the selected "draw" option fails to defualt to draw when going to the graph. However there is no problem if manullay selected the graph draws ok.

                  The segment of code that processes this information is below. The "iniValue" will be null when the checkbox is blank. If you have the setup to remember settings by IP then this will affect the result. What is in your mcsTemperature.ini file in the [ASP] group? Are you setup to retain setting by IP?

                  Code:
                  5270                  key = Replace(ors.fields("Location"), " ", "")
                  5310                  If SettingsByClient Then
                  5320                      iniKey = key & currentIP
                  5330                  Else
                  5340                      iniKey = key
                  5350                  End If
                  5360                  iniValue = hs.GetIniSetting("ASP", iniKey, "", TemperatureIniFile)

                    6.1.1 ExZero bug

                    Michael,

                    Regarding "PR 649 6.1.1 Allow user selection to include/exclude zero data values":

                    If none of the devices selected for a chart display have the ExZero checked then no graph will be displayed (the devices are unchecked on the chart page, despite being enabled for display on the Edit page.)
                    If at least one of the devices selected for a chart display has ExZero checked then the chart is displayed properly.

                    Here is how I discovered this: I have a 'Wind' group consisting of Wind Speed, Wind Gust and Wind Direction. I edited the group, unchecked the ExZero boxes for all three of these devices, updated and returned to graphs. No graph was displayed (these three devices were now unchecked.) Manually checking and re-drawing worked correctly, but the setting did not stick when switching between groups.
                    Best regards,
                    -Mark-

                      I am not able to reproduce the problem. The mcsTemperature.ini contains the group definitions in [Group] section. Can you post the group line after you have done your save without the ExZero checkboxes and then post it again after you draw your page where the data is missing.

                        Below are the entries in the ini after making the indicated edits to ExZero, 'updating' and then 'to graphs.'

                        Also, I just noticed that there's a problem with the columns on the Edit page: DC column is blank, DC's are under 'Sensor Name' and Name is under '1-Wire Address.'

                        <HR>

                        All 3 selected = Normal chart draw, normal table draw

                        Code:
                        Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0-0,"_34"0-1,"_35"0-1



                        <HR>

                        None selected = No chart draw, normal table draw

                        Code:
                        Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0+0,"_34"0+1,"_35"0+1



                        <HR>

                        1 of 3 selected = Normal chart draw, normal table draw

                        Code:
                        Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0-0,"_34"0+1,"_35"0+1

                          I re-read your post and here is the info you specifically asked for:

                          Before change
                          Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0-0,"_34"0+1,"_35"0+1

                          After save, before 'to graphs'
                          Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0+0,"_34"0+1,"_35"0+1

                          After 'graph draw' (no graph was drawn)
                          Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0+0,"_34"0+1,"_35"0+1

                          After manual re-enable & re-draw
                          Wind="None","LinTab","_33"0+0,"_34"0+1,"_35"0+1
                          Best regards,

                            While I could not exactly replicate what you are seeing I did see an issue and has been fixed in 6.1.2.
