    Feature Request - Disable Gateway & Devices via Script

    Hi,

    When a Modbus devices gets disconnected for some reason (e.g. power down) the plug-in will continue to attempt to read from that device which results in lot of errors and other Modbus devices become slow to respond. I would like to be able to Disable / Enable:
    - complete gateways
    - all Modbus devices with the same Modbus address (or individual devices if that is easier to implement)

    I looked to see if there is a CAPI command but could not see one.

    Alternative it would be good to have a feature that disables a Modbus device after too many errors (or reduces the polling) so that it does not block other devices.

    Kind regards,
    Jan

        I expect a new release before the end of April. I have a little time this month to work on the plugin, add your request and fix a few bugs.

            Especially the following will be helpful:

            1) option for a device that the device string will not be displayed, see https://forums.homeseer.com/showpost...12&postcount=1 added 10 December 2016

              CAPI pls

              Hi Beerygaz,

              Also would like to second John regarding the need for a CAPI handler so I can write a value to a Modbus address via a script. Thx.

              Kind regards,
              Jan

                Hi Beerygaz,

                End of April is over. Does this mean that we have to wait till you have a new time slot available to update the PI or did you make sufficient progress so that you can combine the required activities with your other work?

                Looking forward for a new version as the current release does not work out for me. Still running an older release.

                  There will be an update available by the end of the week. I need john to do some testing for me to confirm the new implementation of device strings.

                      Guys, would the universal CAPI commands On/Off to enable/disable a gateway suffice?
