Found IT!

When I try to use Insteon Groups it does not appear that their status is updated.

For instance, I created a Button and assigned an Insteon Group to it. It will turn the Group On, but the status indicator never changes and subsequent "presses" of the Button send Group On commands via PH.

BTW, all the additions and updates in .14 are fantastic.

Hmm. I thought we tested that. I'm seeing the same here.

I found the source of my other problem (it was the paren's).

Now, I'm trying to get this to work...

Code: Select all

ehHaLabelChgCaption "scrSecuA","DoorT", g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR("string( ph_getx10dt('Q2'), 'mm/dd/yy h:mm am/pm')")

For testing, I did this...

Code: Select all

resp = g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR("string( ph_getx10dt('Q2'), 'mm/dd/yy h:mm am/pm')")
msgbox resp
ehHaLabelChgCaption "scrSecuA","DoorT", resp

...and the message box has the correct data, but the label was updated to nul.

I though that worked too. Crap.

I check the ehHaLabelChgCaption function again. It is working.
aahhhhh Maybe you have a LF or CRLF or something in the return from PH.

Let me write a clean up function real quick

OK - add to eHomeClientFunct.vbs

Code: Select all

'==================================================
Function ehCleanUpCRLF(sInVar)
    Dim sTemp
    sTemp = Replace(sInVar, Chr(10), "")
    sTemp = Replace(sTemp, Chr(13), "")
    ehCleanUpCRLF = sTemp
End Function


and change
ehHaLabelChgCaption "scrSecuA","DoorT", resp
to
ehHaLabelChgCaption "scrSecuA","DoorT", ehCleanUpCRLF(resp)

Or... go to the download page. There is a zip file with all the VBS updates.
It has A new eHomeClientFunct.vbs and a new help database that inserts the right code. (the paren's).

I'll check this tonight. I do know that the formula I'm using does not return a CR or LF, but maybe another formula is that breaks things.

http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/vbscript_ref_functions.asp

A nice little help file for VBS functions

Also just added TTS support.

Starting on this...

Switching to the HA screens, I see this:

=== 2/23/2008 7:37:40 AM ====================
--Desc: Error running script --> ON_SNAPIN_SWITCH -- Object doesn't support this property or method
--Line: 0
--Src: eHomeClient.modMain.SetScreen

I added no code there.


Wow. That CleanUp function fixed it!

Maybe check your g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR code for stripping extra cr/lf's? I know, in this case, that there are none returned by the function I'm using...

Code: Select all

string( ph_getx10dt('Q2'), 'mm/dd/yy h:mm am/pm')

Fixing the issues also seemed to have cured the ON_SNAPIN_SWITCH problem from a few minutes ago.

I now have my audio page working correctly updating the play/pause button image!

Onward and upward!

I did discover that is there was one bad function in the client VBS file then it would fail to load it.

=== 2/23/2008 7:37:40 AM ====================
--Desc: Error running script --> ON_SNAPIN_SWITCH -- Object doesn't support this property or method
--Line: 0
--Src: eHomeClient.modMain.SetScreen

So the above error is not a problem in this function but that eHome could not find that function.

I have now re-written the parsing routines so if it does find a bad function it logs it and will still load the rest of em. It will be in the next version!!!

Maybe check your g_oGbl.EH_PH_CALL_RETVAR code for stripping extra cr/lf's? I know, in this case, that there are none returned by the function I'm using...

Remember, we are going through the socket server. PH does send extra info. (remember the header info) I am just removing the header stuff but leaving everything else intact because with this function, you can return recordsets and HTML formatted strings. I don't want to mess with those by stripping anything.

OK, that was actually one concern of mine.

Bug:
If you have two screens with the same description, things go bad.

Digging into this one...

Well... Don't do that!!!!

Same description or ID?

I think this is a bad control on one of your screens.
