Interesting. I have been running the plug-in on two different systems for over a month and have never seen that error. I have one system connect via serial and the other connect via Ethernet in client mode. Can you describe how you have your GEM connected to HomeSeer?

I only have a GEM. It is connected by Wired Ethernet and is defined as 0.0.0.0:8000 in your plugin.

Energy Costs
UltraJones,
First off, thanks for all the hard work! It is greatly appreciated! I've been following this thread (lurking if you will) for a while now, watching with great anticipation for this plugin! Once it is up for sale I plan on buying it straight away. That being said, I've got it installed and running successfully on a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM connected to a single GEM via Ethernet so that's cool.
I'm having a problem with the Energy Costs section, I know you listed that part as not completely working in this initial version, but when it does start working I have a request. Where I live the cost per kWh is a flat fee, but a half a cent or less (0.522 cents or $0.00522 for example) tax is added in tiers. The way it is set up still actually works for me, but it won't let me enter values less than 1 whole cent for the tiered costs. I've attached screen shots of the values I am trying to enter and the results when I hit save!
Thanks again for all the hard work!

I just modified a couple settings in the style.CSS so it would affect all web pages that homeseer generates and not just my custom pages..
I modified the body style and a couple others i think.. such that I could get black backgrounds across the board... if you are just using a style element that is set to a black foreground seems it might be easy for me to just mod that so i could see the data?

Hi UltraJones
Hi Have 2 x 1240's connected to an Etherport on port 5000. I entered HS:8000 for the target. The Etherport is on 192.168.168.253:5000
I added both devices with theri serial numbers
Where do I set binary mode? I don't see anything on the etherport or in the engine G software (opened it to see if there was a config setting in 1240)

Binary mode is the default for the ECM-1240, so unless you changed it is already binary mode.Plug-ins: UltraMon, UltraM1G, UltraCID, Ultra1Wire, UltraLog, UltraWeatherBug, UltraPioneerAVR, UltraGCIR

Binary mode is the default for the ECM-1240, so unless you changed it is already binary mode.Originally posted by mark_anderson_us View PostYes, brultech sell a mux adapter that worked Ok with engine g and tenECM. I'm going to switch to serial, just haven't got around to running cables yet
I don't believe that it should be too hard to code for. The mux adapter is simply a passive multiplexer that allows both devices to transmit on the same serial port. As I understand it each transmission contains the serial number of the device that sent it, so you would simply need to parse out that serial number to determine which device is sending. The other thing to keep in mind is that it is a passive device and there is no collision detection, so expect to see a lot of bad packets when both devices happen to transmit simultaneously. Brultech suggests setting each device to a reasonably long send time (I think they suggest 30 seconds) to try to minimize the number of collisions.
The mux adapter I was using was homegrown and if you want to make one for testing I can tell you how I built it with $2 with of diodes from Radio Shack.

I have switched my setup to one port per device and it sounds like Mark may be able to do so as well, but you may want to consider updating your plugin to support multiple devices on a single port.

I updated the plug-in to post data to SmartEnergyGroups.com. You'll be able to specify what channels/pulse counters/temperature sensors you want to include in the post data.
I am still working on a lot of updates, and will be posting a refresh soon.
