    Need help getting started

    Hi:
    I'm demoing (trial) Homeseer, and very interested in the Kinect plugin.
    installed the plug in and it went fine.
    I set up 2 kinect events and neither worked (one was to take a kinect pic every 20 sec, the other was to play an audio file when kinect voice recognition was triggered by "Jarvis lights" (Jarvis was set as the trigger phrase in Kinect confir)

    The log shows the following error messages - any ideas? thx
    11:36:38 AM Event Event Trigger "Kinect Test" May-30 11:36:18 AM Kinect ERROR Object reference not set to an instance of an object. May-30 11:36:18 AM Event Event Kinect Test, Action of Kinect Action could not be carried out because its configuration is not complete. May-30 11:36:18 AM Event Event Trigger "Kinect Test" May-30 11:35:58 AM Warning In ProcessEventItem, Cannot process event Test, there are no actions.

    could you set the log level to trace from the Kinect config page, and post your logs when you start the plug-in and when you try to run your events.

    For the event that takes a pic, it looks like the Kinect action is not configured properly. If you can't figure out what's wrong could you post a screenshot of your event.
    Thanks

      Sure:
      here's the log after disabling, enabling the kinect plug in

        The log says: "DeviceNotSupported"
        What kind of Kinect sensor is it? v1 (for Xbox 360) or v2 (for Xbox One) ? The v2 is not supported yet.

          V1

            Which drivers have you installed? Runtime or SDK?
            If you have a kinect for Xbox 360 you need to install the SDK: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=162315

              Thanks, getting really close - I just installed the SDK, and now HS shows something in the field showing that I have a kinect. However the event still doesn't work, and gives the following message:

                this error usually means the plug-in can't write the jpg file to the path you provided.
                You need to make sure the path exists on the machine where the Kinect plug-in is running.

                  Yep, I double checked that the path exists and nothing is in there, and that the drive has plenty of free space. (D:\kinect)
                  BTw - the kinect voice works - I set an event and was able to trigger it with a voice command !
                  Also on the kinect confic | camera page it has 3 addresses listed under "snapshot URL":
                  http://192.168.1.6:8078/kinectsnapshot/
                  http://10.40.1.4:8078/kinectsnapshot/
                  http://25.163.26.24:8078/kinectsnapshot/

                  when I click them a picture taken from my kinect comes up

                    in the "Take Picture" action you need to provide the full path of the jpg file, including its name, something like: D:\kinect\test.jpg

                      Bingo! thx
                      anyway to have it store more than 1 pic? - e.g. I have it set to take a pict every x seconds

                        not right now but it is something I want to add, i.e add an option to add a timestamp suffix to the file

                            in version 3.0.0.45 available here, I have added a "Add timestamp suffix" option to the "Take Picture" action:

                            For example the following action will produce files like kinect_20160607154813.jpg:
