    Running remotely

    For running the plugin remotely:

    UPDATE: This is the new process as of build 1.0.26 of the plug-in.

    UPDATE: As of 1.0.27, if the plugin is running remotely, the INI will be saved in the same folder as the HSPI_BLLED.exe file on your remote machine. Otherwise it is stored in the normal config folder on the HS3 machine

    You will create a folder on your remote machine (eg: C:\BLLED)

    From your main HS3 machine, copy the following files to your new folder on your remote machine. I will use C:\BLLED as the example folder on your remote machine

    1. Copy the following files (left side is main HS3 machine, right side is remote machine)

    [hs root]\HSPI_BLLED.exe ---> C:\BLLED
    [hs root]\HomeSeerAPI.dll ---> C:\BLLED
    [hs root]\HSCF.dll ---> C:\BLLED
    [hs root]\Scheduler.dll ---> C:\BLLED
    [hs root]\BIN\BLLED\betabriteusb.dll ---> C:\BLLED

    2. You will need to run the plugin as follows from the C:\BLLED folder on your remote machine

    Code:
    HSPI_BLLED.exe server=[ip address of your main HS3 machine]
    To specify an instance

    Code:
    HSPI_BLLED.exe server=[ip address of your main HS3 machine] instance=[instance name]

    Blade, the remote instances are working great, I just have one little addition if you could is there a way that the instance name can be added to display in the HS event actions as I add more instances of the plugin I could see it getting really confusing as to what instance I am trying to send the commands to it simply repeats the conditions for each instance but if there was a tag to differentiate what instance the trigger is for it would really help

    Cheers Ken

        Yeah I think the multiple instances has an issue. I connect remotely at times but other times I get just blank pages when I try to access them or other times there is no connection to HS and in the counsel on the remote machine it says waiting to be initialized

            As of build 1.0.26, I have changed the way the plugin will run remotely.
            See the first post for update

            This will allow you not to have to create the HS3 structure on your remote machine and just have everything in one folder (eg: C:\BLLED)

            I have not fully tested it so I will need someone who is running remote (wink wink kenrad ) to try this out

            If there are issues we can work through them

              Blade still no go if the remote plugin is closed and you restart it you have to shut down and restart the main instance or you get

              Jun-20 10:10:26 PM Error Getting web page from plugin page BLLEDSigns:garage:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

              and then when it is restarted the signs on the remote instance are gone

              Cheers KEN

                  OK I have changed the INI processing in the plugin

                  If the plugin is running remotely then the INI file will be saved to the folder where the HSPI_BLLED.exe is running from on your remote machine

                  If the plugin is running on the HS3 machine then it is saved in the normal config folder

                  Ken,
                  Before running this build just move your ini for the remote plugin from the HS3 machine to where the EXE is on the remote machine and it should load it

                      Ken,
                      I just tried it remotely here and did not see those errors.
                      That looks like it is coming from HS

                      Can you turn on debug logging and capture when that happens and then let me know what u did to cause it.

                      Attach the debug log zipped or email it to me zipped
                      Cheers,
                      Bob

                          Give it a try. I do not have XP here anymore
                          You will need .Net 4 on XP
                          Cheers,

                            I just recently bought HS4. I was looking through the plugins, and found this one which got me to dig out my old 4200C sign. I wrote a project in C# back in 2010 to program the sign, and it still works. I'm interested to see if the plugin will work with this sign, so the next step I wanted to try is running remote from my dev PC (where I have the C# project running).

                            I got the remote code installed and running, but I have a question. I presume that when I add the sign in HS, I specify an interface of Ethernet. Is that correct? If so, what port number do I specify? I looked in the help and the ini file and couldn't find any clues.

                            I also just realized that nowhere in the remote install do I tell it what COM port the sign is connected to on my remote PC. I must be missing / misunderstanding something.
