HAI Plugin Beta - v3.0.1.13

[rmasonjr]

That was the right thing to do, then. Didn't realize that.

How about panel conditions? Like ac power....what are the values for secure versus trouble?

Click on the Device and then click on the Status Graphics tab - you'll see the values there. This is what you would use to configure a HS Event.

You know, we could cut out the middle man here. Are the protocols posted online somewhere?

Not sure - I believe they are floating around in the ether somewhere
I have a copy in my dropbox that I use to reference during development.
Do a google search for HAI Protocol and you should find it in PDF format.

If you cant find it, email me at robmasonjr67 at yahoo dot com

The HAI knowledgebase is still up today and is a cache full of much information. I still use it a lot. It is located here:

HAI Knowledgebase

Most if all of the documents / help guides et al are all in there still today.

Here is one known as the HAI OmniLink2 Protocol revision 2.16 published in 2008.

Elk and HAI combo security automation panels were the first companies in the 1990's to make a combination panel.

There are a few users (automation old timers ==> 60 years old folks) today here on Homeseer that are still using first generation panels.

Many DIYers on Cocoontech have these panels.

Here in the 1990's I utilized a few Moose products (prior to ELK). In the 80's I had a combo panel. It was a bit difficult to program at the time and while it mostly was security it did have speech and basic X10 stuff.

Rob volunteered many years ago (before Homeseer 3) to bring us a Homeseer 3 HAI plugin.

Have a read on the old threads here relating to said endeavour.

I personally am grateful to Rob having taken on said endeavour as it was not an easy task.

Thanks Pete for your help along the way!

This info is worth it's weight in gold. I never would have guessed that ac secure was 0 and ac trouble was 100.

It's early in the day and I've already learned something new.

Hi Lakemirror,
I did populate the panel tab with Port, Name, IP address and the 2 part key, and after disabling and enabling the plugin, the device list populated, but since then, I do not have access to the panel tab anymore, and I also cannot control the devices.

[Pete]

@Srini - Do you have putty installed on another computer or a means to SSH to the Rasberry Pi computer?

[Srini Potluri]

Hi Pete,
I'm using the HS Zee S2 controller. I don't think it's a Raspberry Pi devise. I'm using the myhs portal to connect to it.
Thnx.

[rmasonjr]

Srini
Can you email me your INI file and log file - here's how to do that from HS:

Create a new event - MANUALLY triggered
Send an Email as the action.
Use my email - robmasonjr67 at yahoo dot com
Enter a subject and message
Attach the /usr/local/HomeSeer/Config/HAI.ini
Click Save Message, then click the little blue arrow to send it.

Hi Rob,

I just started working with my Thermostat and noticed the following:

1) Hold Mode does not change when altered external to the Plug-In. (Pete reported this already.)

2) The Humidify Setpoint is 47 degrees higher than the actual setting. For Instance in the HAI/Leviton SnapLink App on iOS the setting says "25%" but the Plug-In Shows 72%. Any change I make in SnapLink shows up in the Plug-In as that value +47. The Dehumidify Setpoint works correctly.

3) The Operating State seems to be stuck on "Heating" in my case. Even when I change my state external to the App, It's always "Heating".

I tried removing the Thermostat Device and Re-Adding but the same results presented.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Travis - I am seeing the same thing for 1 and 3. #2 I need to play with a little bit. The protocol says that the humidfy setpoints are stored as 0-100% and are stored in the temperature variable (go figure). I need to see if I am extracting it correctly.

Also, been working on User Codes a little and might have something there in the next week or so. We'll be able to write events for specific users that arm/disarm.

@rob...just checking here...

You are currently utilizing two RC80's with two devices. One is a heat only and the other is an HVAC heat pump set up and you are controlling a humidifier with a humidistat?

Ideally then for one a Omnistat 2 / 2000 with humidity controls would be utilized for one of the two set ups eh?

The Omnistat 2 line of thermostats lets you hook up aux temperature remote sensors. I never could see anything in PCA relating to these sensors.
I can though configure the thermostat to use the aux temperature sensor or both.

Relating to lighting control you have one UPB PIM connected to one UPB appliance switch. (no Z-wave HAI PIM nor X10 PIM at this time).

ideally then more UPB switches would let you test stuff eh?

Relating to temperature measurements what do you have in place today? (temperature and temperature/humidity sensors?)

You previously mentioned that you have one go bad on you. Here have them outside and inside and use both combo's and temperature sensors.

Relating to consoles you have one OmniPro Keypad in place eh?

Software wise you have the dealer version of PCA at this time.

Do you have Snaplink or the Omnitouch Pro touchscreen software?

I test here with both Snaplink and Omnitouch Pro software (even though they are old). The Omnitouch 5.7/5.7e's work well with all of my CCTV stuff.

The Omnitouch Pro Software / CCTV doesn't work unless I go to using the HAI designer software.

Not sure if there is an interest in the wireless HAI stuff. (zones are zones are zones).

Here I have two wireless HAI models and one GE model but do not utilize them as everything is wired.

Well have one FOB configured and never really utilized it other than testing it when it was first installed.

Relating to smokes here I am doing 4 wire smokes here in subsections and have left the contractor installed smokes. I did this to learn but it really is a PITA to wire up.

All of the water stuff here is hard wired. (water sensors, switches et al).

Outstanding.
