trialling this, error in log

You need to delete the devices again. Then re-create them. This usually only happens if the CSV file and the devices are mis-matched.

I tried it, but some of them are still "crossed." would there be any adverse affects to me opening the device and renaming it to the correct one?

I think the database is hosed. The best way to make sure there are no lingering devices, is to disable the plugin from running. Then delete all associated devices, and restart HS then verifying that the devices are gone. After verifying that there are no weather related devices on the status page, then we can enable the plugin which should create the devices that match its configuration. The plugin use to delete and re-create the devices at startup, but most thought that took to long and was un-necessary, and I agree. The only time it is a problem is when there is experimentation with the different types of CSV files which will produce a different number of devices based on which CSV file is used. In most cases the re-create button took care of this issue, but sometimes the HS Sample.mdb or Homeseer.mdb devices gets out of sink with the plugin, and the only way to correct it, is to delete the devices completely and then re-create after a restart. Another example that I came accross is when a customer used a previous free version of plugin and then installed the new plugin without cleaning up the old devices first.

I did exactly as you said. It recreated the devices. There are still some that are crossed, though they are different ones from before.

wind direction = 42%
outside humidity = 65.1 degrees
barometer = inches
hourly rain = overcast
weather conditions = 0 degrees

so on.

would there be a problem with renaming devices to match data?

i just did some side by side screens of the plugin and the vws software and renamed the devices it created so that it was acurate. i haven't had any trouble with it since. I just put an "a" after each one that i renamed, so that it wouldn't be the same name, then I went back and removed the A.
