Update: The beta has been updated to a non-expiring (but requires standard UPB plug-in license) build. The new release build should make it into the updater in April.
I am posting a quick beta-test of the latest build. There are three main changes:
1) The location of a link device can be changed in HomeSeer and the change will "stick" and not cause issues with the plug-in. Normally UPStart stores all the attributes for a device but there is no location for a link so the plug-in just initializes it to "UPB Device Link". If you change the location to something else in HomeSeer the plug-in will continue to honor that new location through restarts.
2) The method that devices use to report their status in the "core reports" command is undefined in the PCS specifications. The plug-in has been updated to deal with some of the newer devices that report separate values for multiple channels while still properly dealing with the devices that send their channel information in a single value.
3) The error sometimes encountered in version 1.0.3 where multiple device commands were being issued by HomeSeer at the same time (usually because of delayed events) has been resolved.
There are a number of smaller bug fixes present as well as better logging and error reporting.
Just shut down HomeSeer and backup your old HSPI_UPB.DLL. Then unzip the attached file into your HomeSeer directory and restart HomeSeer.
Please let me know if there are any problems. If this build is stable then I will be placing a release build in the updater soon.
NOTE: This is a beta version and as such will expire and stop working at the end of March.
