This is an Beta version which has all the functionality available in HS2.
Fixes
- Zone sorting error from config page (3.0.0.6, 3.0.0.7)
- Various errors when changing and configuring triggers (3.0.0.5)
- PluginFunction calls for internal methods that are overloaded (3.0.0.6)
- Revised shutdown routine to account for HS3 crashing (3.0.0.7)
- SendToAlarm action null object reference (3.0.0.7)
Known Issues
- This is not Linux compatible or tested.
- No plugin specific Conditions. Use HS device conditions which will provide the same functionality.
- The help page is not up to date
- The Firmware Uploader has not been tested (ignore this)
Special Note in upgrading from a previous Alpha
Add the following to [general] section of the vistaalarm.ini to recreate the Vista 1 to 6 devices with new settings (i made some code changes)
RecreateDevices=True
Notes and Comments:
1. Please only install/test this plugin if you are familiar with the HS2 version, how to configure it and how it works. Once we are out of beta, I will post a Release version to the Updater which will make installation easier for new comers.
2. You must start from scratch. Nothing will be transferred from your HS2 setup. I supposed you could copy over your vistaalarm.ini but i would like to have you start with a clean slate.
3. I reserve the right to make any changes that may require you to delete everything related to this plugin within your HS3 setup. So don't load up every zone you have; you may have to do it all over again on the next version.
4. The latest version will expire on 2/8/2014 and no license is required until I release a Production version. I will have an update based on feedback prior to the expiration date.
5. Please reply to this thread with all comments and errors. I need repeatable steps so i can duplicate the error in order to fix it.
To Install:
1. Shutdown HS3
2. Extract the zip contents to the Homeseer 3 folder.
The contents should end up in their respective folders. HSPI_VistaAlarm.exe and FTD2XX.dll in the homeseer 3 folder, and everything else in the proper html subfolder based on the Path in the zip folder.
4. Restart HS3 and goto to the Manage Plugin page
5. Enable the plugin and set the Com Port to your AD2USB port
6. Restart HS3 again if necessary
7. You may need to enable the Monitor (address Vista 1) to get things rolling.
Setup:
1. Once the plugin is running it will create 6 new devices. You can always delete them and restart HS3 to have them recreated.
2. Configure your Partitions as before
3. Add a few zones and RF devices
4. Test and report back to this thread
I think if you enabled Developer Mode on the Plugin Manage page, you will get a command window that will display the AD2USB messages
