    String change by another plug-in not detected

    I'm having an issue with a string change not being detected if it is changed by another plug-in. If I change it manually via script, it works fine.

    In particular, I'm using Jon00's DataScraper plug-in to extract text from a webpage and store it to a virtual device. I then have an event that uses EasyTrigger to look for a string change so I can act on it.

    Below is a log. The events at 2:23 show me manually setting the string to a dash "-" and EasyTrigger detects OK. The entries at 2:25 show running Jon00's DataScraper which updates the virtual device string, but this is not detected.

    Can you help?

    Talk to Jon00. We had the same problem with the Sonos plug-in and it was discussed in this thread.

      That was it. I contacted Jon00 and he gave me an update right away that fixed it. Thanks!
