    Virtual device status text showing on, when it's really off

    I've been trying to figure out why this virutal device shows status text of on, when it's really off. Sorry for the formatting of pics. Any tips to help fix this minor bug greatly appreciated.

    It's because the string is set to "On". You can clear the string value by going to Tools - Control Panel and then executing an Immediate Script Command:

    Code:
    &hs.SetDeviceString(130, "", False)

      Thanks, but shouldn't just toggling the device set it to on or off? That's kind of what has me confused.

        Yes, but something must have modified it. If it happens again, then you have some event or script changing the string and you'd need to find the source of that.

          I do have an event that turns it on and off and specific times, but I swear it used to work fine before getting it stuck. The funny thing is the status graphics changed on its actual status, just that text was stuck. Any way appreciate the help from you!

            An event like that should not mess it up. The string value overrides the status value in the HS web interface and it will show the string along with the status graphic if the string is not blank.
