Exception in Find_Create_Devices

[kingfetty]

Still having issues ... after deleting objects and trying creating them manually, my devices shows offline.

Thanks,

Marcus

Is the plugin not auto-discovering your thermostats? If you delete the old then restart the plugin and wait about a minute it should auto-discover them and create them for you.

RadioThermostat

It is not auto-discovering ... I deleted the objects I created, restarted the plugin and let it running for a couple of hours.

They are not being auto-discovered ...

Tried adding them manually as well, and they are also not working.

Any additional suggestion,

Marcus

What model # are your thermostats, I'll see what I can do. Are the thermostats on the same network as your homeseer server?

[mmagri]

Not auto-discovering

They are CT30 V1.94. They were working on the previous release, and yes, they are on the same network.

Thanks,

So they stopped working recently and worked with the previous version of the plugin. That's very useful information. I will pull the old code up from my git repository and look at what all changed.

Do you remember specifically what version it was working with?

[mmagri]

Not auto-discovering

The version before 1.0.16295.69 was working.

Thanks,

Marcus

1.0.16204.47

1.0.16204.47

So, in order to find out if the issue is with the plugin logic of creating devices or if it's in the discovery protocol itself. I took the same code that I use to discover the devices and put it into a seperate executable. It's a simple console app that will send the discovery message out and list any replies.

I have attached the program here. If you could download this and run it on some machines on your network to see a couple things:

Is it specific to a machine?
Does it ever find any thermostats?
Does it find anything when ran on the HomeSeer machine?

I also have CT-30 thermostats and when I run this, every time it finds them. Let me know what you find out.

Ok, so what this says is that it waited until the timeout period (5 seconds) for a thermostat to respond and nobody responded so it threw an exception.

Did you try to run this from only HomeSeer? Or do you get the same exception on every computer?

[mmagri]

Exception

Got same exception from a different computer as well. Exception shown in 1 or 2 seconds and not 5.

Thanks

Did the auto-discovery ever work for you? Or did you always have to add manually and just recently that portion broke as well?

[mmagri]

Auto-discover

No, the auto discovery never worked for me.

[kingfetty]

No, the auto discovery never worked for me.

Ok, I'll skip tshooting that portion and go straight to the other problem. Let me finish looking through the code changes and see if I can find any issues. When I put together a fix, I'll post it under the beta plugins section of the homeseer plugin manager page and let you know. That way you can test for me.

[mmagri]

Beta

Sounds good! Please let me know.

Thanks a lot,

Marcus
