Hi Automate,
Anything I can do to fix this, and make it work on my pc?
Does it require me to install osa again?

Cheers

Hi Automate,
Thanks for looking into my issue.. I got it sorted..
I think it was me, being dumb..
What I was doing was copying the source code and pasting into a new project.. it worked before in version 3.
This time I downloaded the whole zip file from gits, and open up the whole project, corrected the osa api reference path, and copied across the new dll file that was generated after compiling.. works great...

Hoping to get the smoke alarm and heating working via rfxcomm.. will post the code when all works well, if you dont mind, you could submit it to gitshub..

Cheers

Hi All firstly let me say well done with the work to date. I've been shopping around for a better HA software after outgrowing Misterhouse. And within 1 day I'm up and running with the help of your instructional videos and docs. From what I've seen this system seems to have everything I'm looking for , and from my point of view the UI is flexible and fairly easy to master. Its really the UI of the users (people who are using the system) that needs to be easy and with the screen builder and designer this is really quick to achieve, and that's not something that can be said about a lot of other HA software.

I have a quick question about using the RFXcom plugin. I am able to control my home easy devices with it now I have various light switches and plugs etc... My question is , is there any way to track the state of these devices by listening for commands sent to them by other external devices?

for example I have a sitting room main light that has a homeeasy switch on the wall , I've seen with xpl and eventghost that I could "see" the wall switch being pressed , by seeing the "on" or "off" command being sent to the device by the wall switch. Is there any way to track these changes and keep a state of this light in the back end of OSA? So it can be checked before running scripts?

Again I'm new to OSA so if this is an obvious question please bear with me!

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

Hi excal, I'm still looking at getting some home easy gear myself but just wondering what your setup is? You say the wall switch is able to send it's state to the rfxcom, is this switch one like this:

or one like this:
http://www.homeeasy.eu/RemoteControlWal ... roduct/48/
?

Thanks,

Try changing the object address to A-01 and see if that works.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with your OS language set for Dutch. For testing, can you set it to English and restart the OSA service?

[bwoodworth]

Also, have you tried with the address as 'A01'. The plugin parses out the house code from the first character and then the unit code from the remained and it is not expecting a dash.
