HouseBot

Hey! For the first time in a long time, my 2.15 HouseBot popped up the "there is a new version available" this morning, and lo and behold, it's almost just like the old days! Is there a posting anywhere either in the forums or on the site that details the differences between 2.15 and 2.3? ...

...answering my own question...



That is the correct syntax. Evidently it doesn't affect appliance modules.

I'm sending my Composite Property the X10 command



C,*,All Lights On



and nothing's happening. What do I have wrong with the syntax?



Thanks!

Scott,



3 Days, 15 hours and counting. I have been getting some odd errors in my error log, so I'll email that to you. Kudos on the quick and efficient fix to the crashing problem.



Thanks,



Patrick

So far... so good... with the last build of the CM11a plugin.



2 days, 1 hour, 53 minutes... and counting.



BTW, to enhance my laziness... so that I don't have to climb stairs to check my HouseBot computer, I've installed VNC. Works like a charm and it's FREE!

I got version 1.06 in my email today and will install it tonight. Unfortunately, there was a power outage this afternoon, so I can't report on the stability yet.

Wait - I got it. I can see the version numbers in the logs. My bad!



I'll turn on tracing and see what happens.

Scott,



I think I may have overwritten the new CM11A DLL. All the ones I can find seem to have a version number of 1.0.0.0, including the one I download from my previous error thread. Can you zip and email or post the 1.05 version?



Thanks!

I saw it quit! :o Okay, here's the current situation: Running HB 1.51b Using the "old" CM11A DLL (gives me errors in some macros.) Of course, now I can't re-create the error. :-/ When it happened, I was trying to get HB to change the power state of "Bedroom Patrick's Lamp" and it...

Well - shortly after I woke up this morning, HouseBot had quit again. It did begin to run the "Wake Up" script, because the Bathroom Light came on. I wish I could make it quit more predictably so that I could watch it! :D Anyway - I take this to mean that my shutdown issues are not related...

Sent the MDB, and installed the new EXE and DLL files. The timing was something I neglected to include in my bug report :oops: - mine seems to shut down in the middle of the night too... and I wouldn't be surprised if it was midnight. Just FYI, the LDB file was there when I went to find the MDB one,...

Win XP, Service Pack 1. I haven't done anything recently... that I can remember. Pretty much all that is running on this machine is Housebot.



mfc42 is 6.0.8665.0

msvcrt is 7.0.2600.1106

:? This happens with 1.50 and 1.51 I'm getting "ACCESS_VIOLATION" in my dumps when it happens... can't explain much more. Dumps: 9/25 9/26 9/27 I turned on logging for several variables yesterday in hopes that something would explain the crash... but got nothing. 9/27 log

I installed the new DLL and manually ran the Potty Light Preset (deleted the time test) and it reduced the number of errors. Interestingly, when I removed the delays, I got no errors! I then rebooted and ran the task again, without delays... and again got no errors. I let the automated functions run...

Scott, I've been encountering this error pretty consistently when running tasks: Error: Checksum returned from CM11A is not correct. Return=[5a] Expected=[be] It seems to occur on tasks that have multiple X10 commands. The main task that causes the error for me is: If (System Time.Weekday is Equal '...
