I think I might have seen something like this before. Do you have more than one event triggering at the same time whose actions call this connection?

Either way, please can you provide some more details about the connection and the event so that I can try to set up a repro?

-David

[usLEDsupply]

i suppose it is possible that more than one event are calling it at once as they are all triggered via motion sensors and timers, it was working fine for the past year but in the past month or two has been crashing the DMX STICK but i haven't changed anything other than updating plugins and STICK firmware

Here is what i am sending
0x53 0x74 0x69 0x63 0x6b 0x5f 0x33 0x41 0x6D 0x00 0x39 0x01 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Coincidently, I got the exact same error yesterday afternoon which turned out to be caused by me triggering three events at the same time which sent data to the same non-persistent tcp client. The second and third events threw that error because the tcp connection was still in use by the first event. I *fixed* it by not triggering the events at the same time (which was a mistake anyway).

However, it is clearly a bug and I will look into a proper fix for it. Hopefully it will resolve your issue too.

v29 fixes the bug when multiple non-persistent tcp clients are used in quick succession. Hopefully this also takes care of the problem usLEDsupply is seeing.

Haven't made changes to the logging yet but it is still on the list.

:-) Great can't wait, I hope that fixes it it

Version 0.0.0.29 uploaded here

[usLEDsupply]

so far so good:-) been working for an hour
i don't know how hard it would be but it would be nice to have a play button next to the delete and copy buttons on the commands page so you can test the command without having to create an event and run it:-)

+1 on that.

I think that used to exist in a much older (perhaps HS2) version of the PlugIn, and I think I remonstrated with David at some point about the loss of it

What say you "drule"?

[drule]

I like the idea of it but you'd need to be able to choose the connector too. If somebody wants to draw how they think it should look I can have a think about how to implement. I really don't like the config interface of the plugin but I hate how complicated the SDK makes drawing forms and each time I've attempted to improve it I've simply ended up yelling obscenities at the screen before reverting back to how it was.

[usLEDsupply]

Maybe when you click the play button you could have it popup a list of the available connectors and you could click the one you want and it would run or if there was only one available just run it

[cheeryfool]

Maybe when you click the play button you could have it popup a list of the available connectors and you could click the one you want and it would run or if there was only one available just run it

Or a Test Connection drop down, defaulting to "Choose one..." and automatically running the command when you choose a connection from the list.

Ok guys I am now pulling my air out on this one and could do with some help.

my server where homeseer 3 is installed is running windows 7 just in case it matters

Ok what I am trying to do is control my Samsung KS9000 TV (2016)
I am connected via serial Ex-link from my TV to my server and so far I have been able to control the tv only by sending this type of hex command 08 22 00 00 00 01 D5 via two different serial port programs so I can confirm that the cable is ok and the port setting are correct
But for the life of me I can't get drule's serial plugin to work,

Here is what I have done
created a serial connection on comport 7 to the specs that worked on the other programs 9600/8bits/1stop/none/none/1
I have then tested the Samsung commands examples in binary, raw text and it just does nothing I have even tried the above code but that just crashes the plugin
