      That is a bug! :-)

      Fixed in v28. I've just sent the new .exe file over to cheeryfool for uploading to the main thread.

      Happy turkey day!

            Is there a way to edit or disable the logging level?

            If not I would like to request this feature...this plugin is at least half of the messages in my log.

            Thank you in advance...

              That's a good idea. I'll look into it for the next release.

                USB to Serial?

                I'm moving from a windows PC w/ serial ports & HS to a new win7 PC with no serial ports and HS3. With the new PC/HS3 I am using a Keyspan USB2Serial adaptor to communicate with a serial UPB PIM. With the old PC, I've been sending RS232 to Qmotion blinds (QConnect transmitter) from HS2 with scripting to the serial ports. Could I could use this plugin to send serial commands to the QConnect over another Keyspan USB2Serial adaptor?

                  It should be with a USB2Serial adapter. The keyspan device should show up in Windows as a COM port.

                      I have a more advanced logging routine in another plugin of mine. Will bring it over to this one.

                        ...why UDP ???

                        @Krumpy, thanks for the suggestions.
                        As we are making a good progress towards the new universal communication plug-in code named "Big4" I was wondering if we need to include UDP + multi-casting.
                        Can you please give examples of devices and or practical situations that will benefit from that.

                          How can you see the GC-100 Serial Ports in IP/Serial Plugin for HS3

                          I've searched the forums and a couple PM's to drule.. And I've got this plugin up and running. I've successfully added a Denon 3808ci via TCP/IP, figured out the command structure ( PWON\r) as C escaped . All works. Working on the response status for Serial commands, but thats another issue.

                          Currently, I was expecting first off the GC PRO plugin I just spent $$ in hopes it would control ALL functions not just IR and Relay . I knew this plugin should per what post I read be able to control the GC-100 Serial Ports, but I never see the Serial Tab show up. I am using the HS2 Pi on a HomeTroller, understand I can by a USB to Serial adapter, but it was the reason why I grabbed a cheap GC-100 for all of those functions in one.

                          What I am missing? Only see TCP/IP, I have added the GC-100-12 to the connections...but no serial ports to config, etc.

                          Any help would be greatly appreciated....

                          Thanks ,

                            I have a GC-100-18 and am successfully using its serial port with the plugin. Use the web interface of the GC-100 to set the serial port's parameters, ie baud rate, start/stop bits, etc. Then in the plugin, create a TCP client pointing to the IP address of your GC-100, port 4999.

                              Thanks David, I think my main issue is there is no Serial Tab shown. I am using a HomeTroller and not using PC HS3, just the HS3pi on the HomeTroller. I was assuming before I added the GC-100 that I would see the Serial Tab to show up after a device that had serial ports was added to the HomeTroller. I am currently not using any USB to Serial Adapter nor did I think i need to since my desire was to use the GC-100 for IR and Serial.

                                There's no serial tab in the plugin when it runs in Linux. But in your case you don't need one! The GC-100 is a serial server. All TCP traffic on port 4999 passes to the serial device connected to the GC-100. You can create commands, event triggers and pass-thru scripts exactly as you would for a serial port, except you use a connector that is configured as a TCP client on port 4999 if you device is connected to the first serial port on your GC-100-12 and port 5000 if your devices is connected to the second port.
