Thanks very much Steve. I'm pleased you got your firewall & AV issues sorted.

Jon00 Homeseer 2 - Homeseer 3 Connector

Jon, when using hs.SaveVar("Jon00GW".............) in a manual HS3 event to trigger an HS2 event (per your example in the PDF), it works fine when manually triggered from the local HS3 computer keyboard. But it will not work for me when I trigger the HS3 manual event from another computer on my local network via the web browser. I am running HS3 on a Netbook (IP xxx.xxx.xx.5) but I use my desktop (IP xxx.xxx.xx.7) as a console to enter info and control HS3. Can you confirm this works for you. Perhaps it is another firewall issue for me.

I can try it later on when I return from work, however I would of thought any event triggered this way would exhibit the same issue?

I don't have a large number of HS3 events setup yet, but the events that I have tested can all be triggered from my iPad and my other LAN computers. There must be something about hs.SaveVar that makes it behave differently.

Steve,

Sorry but have not had time to test today. Will do so tomorrow.

No problem Jon. I did a little more testing and found that even when I use the keyboard on the HS3 computer to trigger the event manually, it does not fire most of the time. There is always an HS3 log entry but there is only an HS2 log entry when the event works as it should. Something seems to be interfering with the HS3 client sending the message.

Steve,

The HS3 to HS2 connection uses a different port to the HS2 to HS3 so that may be an issue. Try and mirror a HS3 device in HS2. If it fails then you still have firewall issues.

Turning off the firewalls on both computers did not help. The event can usually be triggered the first time I try it after making a change to the event. But then stops working. No idea what is going on?

Steve,

I don't really know. I've done extensive testing from an iPad, several other PC's and the HS2 event always fires.

How do you have the event set up?

[Steve Q]

Nothing unusual about the setup. See Attachment.

It might just be my HS2 setup. I have had other times when it would not respond to network info. I have another HS2 computer that I can try.

Here is another issue. I am measuring the temperature via xAP on HS2 (Device R2).
I have successfully mirrored this to HS3 with your connector. (See attachment 1. I assigned device address R102 to it. The correct temperature value shows in the device management page. However, when I create an event to write the temperature to the HS3 log (see attachment 2) it appears in the log as " -1 ". (attachment 3). Any ideas?

Steve,

Even though you see the correct value on the device string, you need to go back to HS2 and check to see if the device value for R2 has been set.

Jon, I checked the value of R2 in HS2, it is correctly set to 60 which is the the value shown on the HS3 device management page.

Steve,

Click on the R102 name link on the device management page, then click on the advanced tab. What does the value show?

Go back to hs2 and check the device value of R2 i.e. hs.devicevalue("R2")

[Steve Q]

Jon00 Homeseer 2 - Homeseer 3 Connector

I had already checked the advanced tab in HS3 and Again checked HS2 via the script function hs.devicevalue. They both show the same temperature.

I'm using HS3 pro ver 3.0.0.54. Do you have a way to look into the HS3 SQLite database?
