eHome Digial Tools

Not sure what I changed but my system has become unstable.

After a period of usage ehome stops responding. When I close it I have 5, 10 maybe even 20 eHomess error message windows in my taskbar. The weird thing is I cannot open any of them to see what they say. They just sit in the taskbar and do nothing when highlighted. I end up rebooting to clear them.

Anyone else seen this?

eHomeSS will log all errors.

Take a look at your error logs
C:\eHome\Client-Server\ErrLogs

Is to only thing you changed the new VBS code you added?

Also - what are the size of your error logs?

Here is my log for the last 2 days. It failed again this evening and stopped responding to commands (buttons visibly press but no response).

I have changed so much in the last week that it could be anything. I pulled the thermostat code and am just using global variables so it is not that. This was happening before the new VBS code you added too.

That leaves the code I added to jump directly to an HA screen from the main menu, I think.

Code: Select all

So you press eHome btns and nothing?
Is this only on the HA screens or is the rest of EH still responding.

Also - the EH socket server is running on what machine?

The error you are getting is that the EH socket server can't connect. But its not a graceful error as it should be - its a BOOM.

Have been watching this for the last week or so to try and identify what is causing it but there seems to be no pattern. It just happens after a random period of usage.

Anywhere between 2 and 10 eHomess error boxes that I still cannot see. nothing obvious in the logs.

I did notice that the Weather still works. Seems like only the HA screens that stop working.

I guess I wait for the next release and see if anything changes.

Check your mswinsck.ocx - date and file size.
MS had a mem leak in some versions.

Also...

Anywhere between 2 and 10 eHomess error boxes that I still cannot see. nothing obvious in the logs.

EH pops up an error box if a connection was not made and NOTHING was passed in on the command line. I have fixed that now. An error will be logged instead.


Just FYI

JB,

I tried 5.15 and am still seeing the same problem. Basically the HA screen switching just stops responding so in the log I see one of these for each eHomeSS error box that gets created.

Code: Select all

These boxes are still as before. They are only in the task bar and clicking on them does nothing. I cannot open them or see the contents. If I look in the task manager I see an eHomeSS.exe for each window in the task bar.

If nobody else is seing this is must be related to my changes or my system, such as the network.

I remeved the messagebox. You should not see them anymore.
Line 1085 is:

Code: Select all

1085         Winsock1.Connect sIP, ppPORT_EHOME

That is the Winsock connection. Funny thing is that when the error is written there is NO error message.

There should be a error description on the line following '--Desc:'
But it is a Winsock error. Thats for sure. Did you ever check the Winsock version?

Also - check your email for a new eHomeSS.exe
I have just fixed it so it should not get stuck in memory anymore.

Have installed the new eHomeSS and will see what happens and post back.

Checked my mswinsck versions and on both the server and the client it is 122kb 3/9/2004 Version 6.1.97.82

JB,

So far so good. Still working, no ehomess problems, ehome responding fine. Also response time is way faster in 5.15. Very nice
