Hi Schelte, I’m sorry I have only just got this email. For some reason my ISP have switched on spam filtering and block this email. ... If I leave the grid...
Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up my custom lighting macros to work with PLCBUS (the UK's answer to UPB). It seems to be working fine and I now want to...
... Quote from the lighting grid control plug-in web page: "At the moment it depends on the LIGHTUPDATE report from the homevision controller to obtain status...
The numbering is confusing. It makes sense for X10, which is 16 by 16. The Upstart Software puts the addresses in groups of ten with two groups (total of 20)...
Steve - I designed the C-Bus lighting controller that attaches to HomeVision. although it uses the external controller approach rather than the macro approach....
Bruce: I'm really struggling getting my motion sensor/nightlight working. I'm trying to do the following: 1) Turn on hall lights (20%dim) only after dark 2)...
Chuck, I ran into a similar situation (what state are my lights in before I act on an event). Although it wasn't related to the UPB system, I suspect what I...
My electrician was doing some work today and we cut the power for 10 minutes. I noticed this evening that HV wasn't responding. On looking at the unit, all of...
Hi Chuck - do you have the UPB schedule code that includes having it poll your switches for their current status? if not, I can send it to you - that's the...
I am new to UPB, but in my opinion HomeVision rarely knows what the UPB devices are doing. I use very few links. As a simple example before Sunset today I...
In HV, you have to treat links and lights differently (even if the link is controlling a light). Example - light 1 can be controlled by a wall switch and by...
Hi Schelte, Love your control plugin. I'm having problems with the Slider control. I can get it to work, but every time I adjust the the slider the light goes...
... Great. ... This is how X-10 lamp modules work. I'm afraid there's nothing the control plug-in can do about that. Unless of course you use X-10 modules that...
Paul, It sounds like the RAM is not being held up by the battery while power is out. If you have a voltmeter, measure the voltage across the two battery leads...
It measures 3.01V and holds steady. Paul. From: homevision-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:homevision-users@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Craig Chadwick Sent: 06...
Paul, That should be OK, although it does show the battery has degraded from its original 3.25V (approximate). As a test, if you remove power from HomeVision...
Mmm – it seems to survive a graceful power cycle although I haven’t tested it for many minutes yet. It has always happened after main power outage –...
Paul, It’s possible that the PSU is degraded and causing noise when the AC power starts dropping or coming back up. I suggest finding another one to use. ...
Paul/Craig, Just thinking on this. After a total power outage my xAP / C-Bus gateway will restart coincident with HV and will immediately start to synchronise...
Paul - At first look over the code I can't see anything obviously wrong from the gateway perspective although as it's event driven with so many possible...
I have a couple of cases where I'm printing out information using the webserver and would like to be able to specify a leading zero. Looking at the code it...
Chuck, As you have correctly figured out, the HV:Var tag in the HvXL web plug-in allows you to specify a printf style format string. Example: Last Motion:...
I received an email today, from someone via the HV User Group here, asking for assistance with regard to using AprilAire 8870 Communicating Thermostats with...
Anyone know if its possible to connect HomeVisionPro with ProNet device to HomeSeer 2. Or has it got to be done with a serial cable only? Thanks Steve Kind...
Kevin, It seems like you've thought of everything I can think of. I don't see any obvious problems with how you've implemented your gateway. However, the ...
This just happened to me again this weekend. We had a power outage while I was away from the house, not sure for how long. When I came back home, I noticed the...
