    RaspberryIO - Beta Testing

    This plugin is designed to allow HomeSeer to configure, monitor and control the GPIO of a Raspberry Pi. It works with any version of Raspberry Pi.
    The plugin needs to be installed and run on the Raspberry Pi itself, so if you don't use a RPi as your HS3 controller ( i.e a HomeTroller Zee), then you will need to run the plugin remotely, see User Guide for more details

    Please report any bug.

      This is just what I've been looking for.
      I plan to run HS on a pc, and access a remote pi. Will you be able to control multiple Pi's?

        Hey Spud....

        Good work mate....very keen to see how this goes....I'll have a go when you post up the details on how to run it on a separate PI.

        Cheers..Pete

          Instructions to run the plugin remotely are now available in the User Guide.

          To control multiple Pi, you just need to run one instance of the plug-in on each Pi, and choose a different instance name for each one.

            Any plans to do "I'm alive" sensing between the RPI and HS box ?

              Cant seem to load the plugin...from the LOG

              Sep-14 22:15:07 Info Plugin RaspberryIO with instance test has connected. IP:192.168.11.159:44858
              Sep-14 22:15:07 Error Cannot load plugin RaspberryIO, no license or trial expired

              The raspberryPI debug doesnt show any successful connection..however it did manage to get the PI-Name and IP address.

                have you installed the plug-in on your HS3 machine? You need to, even if it is a windows machine, otherwise HS3 cannot handle the licensing stuff.

                  I've added the overide file and the zip file as instructed on my windows 7 HS box. I press updated listings and the window just sits there..

                  I log in the log file and I see the following:

                  On the RaspberryPI debug screen I see:

                  Cannot connect(2):Object reference not set to an instance of an object
                  Waiting 30 seconds before trying to reconnect

                  Over and over...

                    the updater_override.txt must go in the HS3 root folder, but the zip file must go in Updates3/Zips

                    then after you click on "Update Listings" you need to click the yellow arrow on the left of "additional interfaces" and then the one on the left of "Test Plugin". Then click the install checkbox and then the "Download and Install" button.

                        Spud, did exactly as you instructed......not getting the same result as you. I'm just trying to get an update from HS ie: Update listing and NOTHING is coming from HS site after removing the update file...

                        Its sitting there "downloading control file" and normally you see the bar move to the right as it gets data... I'm getting nothing, just sitting there...

                          if you have the updater_override.txt in your HS3 folder, the updater does not contact Homeseer servers, it directly read this file which contains only the info for the RaspberryIO (see screenshot above)

                            well... that's weird

                            anyway one workaround is to install manually:
                            - unzip the zip from the first post
                            - copy HSPI_RaspberryIO.exe and HSPI_RaspberryIO.exe.config in your HS3 root folder
                            - copy all the dlls in bin\RaspberryIO
                            - unzip images.zip and copy the RaspberryIO dir in html\images

                              Spud, yup I get this....so it can enable the plugin and doesnt connect to HS for licence validity information ?

                              So right now if I do a regular "update listing", I dont get to see any additional interfaces ie: it doesnt seem to be able to get the control file.

                              If I put in your overwrite file, restart HS and update listing, I see NOTHING in additional interfaces...

                              I'm pretty ok with how this should work, I've installed lots of other plugins including using over_ride files....Funny I'm still getting errors in the log fileabout the plugin but I see nothing about the plugin in the installed (remote plugin) page....
