There has been a long standing bug running ASPX web pages on the latest RPi builds of Homeseer. You can check this out by calling the test ASPX web page supplied with your copy of HS3.
How?
View your Device Management Page on your favorite web browser. Look at the URL and you will see that it ends with /deviceutility Change this to /test.aspx and submit the page.
When the page loads, you will most likely see the error image shown below.
I recently asked Rich about fixing this issue as this restriction severely limits the capability of the RPi. He replied that he had spent many hours trying to diagnose the problem (without success) and concluded that it was a Mono issue. He then asked me if I would take a look! Well I know very little about Linux or Mono but started to have a play anyway.
Bottom line is that I tried all sorts of things and suddenly ASPX pages started to load correctly! I really don't know what fixed the issue so I had to download a fresh RPi image of HS3 to find out!
The solution turned out to be very simple but why it works I don't really know.
Copy the supplied testvb.aspx (unzip first) to your html directory (/usr/local/HomeSeer/html) and then call testvb.aspx in your browser.
If all goes well, (after a period of time), you should see 'hello' on the screen.
Finally call test.aspx again and that page should load. All other Homeseer ASPX web pages should now work as well (I have a few to download )
Please let me know if it works for you.
FYI, Mono version on the stock build RPi2/3 image suppled by HST is 4.5.1
