Connection won't stay up
I installed the plugin and all went well. I got connected and HS read the panel without a glitch. Problem I'm having is the panel won't stay connected. Maybe a few hours at most. I can always go the the config page and press connect and the panel will reconnect. Never has failed to do that but it just won't stay connected. I am using a Lantronix IP to serial device to connect between HS server and Caddx. That may be the issue but shouldn't the plugin have something that will automatically try to reconnect on it's on. The fact that manauly pressing the connect button always works would seem to indicate that a automatic reconnect attempt would also work. Maybe this is more of a feature request but I think the plugin should attempt a reconnection if the connection is lost. Maybe 3 or 4 tries and the write lost connection to the log file or something like that.

I just tried downloading v3.1, but am getting this message in the log:
Install/Update of package Caddx failed.
I deleted v3.0 and restarted HS3, then tried it again, but am still getting the error.
In spite of the error, the installed plug-in page shows v3.1.0.0 as installed, but the updater says I don't have the plug-in installed.
I can enable the plug-in and I can open the config page. Of course, I get an error that the com port is not specified, but that is because I don't have the panel connected to my HS3 computer yet.
Could the error message be a false detection?Mike____________________________________________________________ __________________

For others updating from 3.0 to 3.1, I suggest trying this order of operations.
1. disable caddx plugin on plugin manage page
2. update caddx plugin on plugin manage page
3. enable caddx plugin on plugin manage page
4. go to plugins, caddx, config,
5. under caddx partitions tab click "create hs devices" to generate the chime control and last user device
This sequence worked for me, it might be unnecessarily complex or not needed in all installs, so YMMV.

I had the same on a clean test system, don't know why.
But the sequence you pointed out is easy enough to leave it like it is.Regards,

I tried that sequence from the start. As I also noted, I even tried deleting and reinstalling the plug-in. I just tried again and still get the failed message, but now the updater reports that v3.1 is installed. I can enable it and get the configuration page, so I suspect the error message is false.

EDIT: I restarted HS3 again after clicking the Create HS Devices button, and now I see the chime and last user devices. Still getting the invalid pin code, but everything works. I'd still like to know why pincode won't validate, though it looks like a false positive. Anyone else have it working with invalid pincode?
----
Rein, I've followed the procedure earlier in this thread for updating the plugin to 3.1 and got the same error about failing to load. Nevertheless, 3.1 is installed according to the Plug-In Manager. I restarted HS3 just to be sure everything was settled. As before, I can arm/disarm and see the correct status of zones, but I still get a red "Pincode is incorrect..." error despite using the primary/first pincode. I've gone to the keypad and verified I'm using the right one several times now, and even tried others.
Until now, I simply ignored it because everything seemed to work, but once I tried to add the additional devices (chime, last user device) I ran into problems. Each time I click the "Create HS Devices" button, it takes me to the General Settings screen where it complains about the pincode being incorrect and the new devices are not created.
Any ideas? I'm absolutely positive I have the right pin code. I have entirely uninstalled and reinstalled the plug-in and uninstalled, shutdown and restarted HS3 and reinstalled without success. I'm willing to go deeper to figure this out, like manually altering configuration settings, but I don't know what else to try.

I just ran into a different problem regarding basic operation. During my testing I bypassed a zone that was faulted, then armed and disarmed the system. When disarmed, the status for the zone updates from Faulted(Bypassed) to just Faulted (top image). Likewise, the keypads no longer indicate a bypass. The Controller button for that zone continues to read "Un-bypass", and when clicked, the zone status returns to Faulted(Bypassed) (bottom image). So, the button that reads Un-bypass is actually bypassing the zone. If you click it once again, the zone status returns to just Faulted and the button continues to read Un-bypassed (back to top image). It looks like whatever logic is used to update the status when a bypass is cleared or set should also update the control button, but it isn't.

Thanks Rien for all the work on this update.
Couple questions:
1) are you planning on going to a paid plug-in on this? If not, I will make sure to send you a little something.
2) is there a way to set the keypad message through a script command?
3) is there a different option for sending a keypad message? in the old plugin, if you sent a keypad message, it would alternate between the System Ready | Date Time screens and stay up until you either sent a blank message or another message. I would like to send it some of my weather info, as well as other alerts and like them displayed all the time, while still seeing the system ready screen.HS Install Date: Feb. 16, 2007

If you try that and get it to work, would you please post that? I'd just like confirmation the feature is working for somebody so I know the problem is on my end.
