That is the red string what is shown in the Homeseer log file.

I have installed and have done some tests.

When running the original script from Jon script will run okay and read some plugwise date in the devices.
but not not usable..hope you can correct the script

DJ found what is going wrong at my side.

You are skipping the device creation part..when the device don't exits...then there will be the error.
Can you please also add the device name...or don't overwrite it in Homeseer

Why is my output not looking nice..

okay my last spam message...

with low device numbers it's working.

- Dim level at the end is the usage (found it...correct device type will solve the problem)
- Device name will be replaced with rss data.just ignore the name or display the Plugwise name here

Chak.
Where did you find the new script?
When I try to download it it's asking for a username / password.
Link that I use is: http://www.nldj.com/wiki/Domotica/ProjectPlugwise

hahah I'm not going to tell you here how I found it...will send you the script
DJ my first look at it.

your error will be solved if your first create the device in Homeseer.

Okay.. Got it 1/2 working.
Showing the data from the plugs is working.
Turning the plugs on / off does not work (at the moment)

Site pwd is fixed now! Going to do some more work on it tomorrow.. Running into time issues because of unexpected events. Will try to support you and apply fixes as soon as possible.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for your work..

Tip:
If you don't want the auto update just create a extra device like Q99.
Let the RSS event be triggered by Q99 any status change to run..
just click on/off for a update

You can use the ON/OFF of the other devices for triggering the Homeseer events for on/off of the plugs.

One more thing that I noticed is that when everytime the event has been called, the "Name" will change back to "Plugwise" again.

Updated version: 0.4
- (FOUND:0.2, FIXED:0.4) It only works with Plugwise device-codes < 10 (only 1-character-number)
- (FOUND:0.3, FIXED:0.4) Device name in HS is overwritten by the current code.
- (FOUND:0.2, FIXED:0.4) Script crashes if device from .ini doesn't exist in HS. It now checks and puts error message in HS log.
- (FOUND:0.3, FIXED:0.4) Script overwrites devicename with RSS Title (Plugwise)

DJ,
Thanks for the latest update.

How can I disable the logging to log file?
Last Change field is not always updating see Q6 compare to other screenshots (old time form yesterday) total usage is changed.

Hope you can also support devices >10
all my other devices have higher numbers.

- PW device-id's >10 should be supported now, even though I can't test it myself. There was an error in grabbing the device-code from the .ini file (I only grabbed the first character after the Q (so with Q25 it would take '2' instead of '25').

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">LAST CHANGE - If a device was modified externally (not directly by HomeSeer) then this column - and this screen - may not display those changes or the device's new status. To update the screen, click the Poll Device button at the top of the screen (if visible) to go to the Poll Device screen and have HomeSeer communicate with each device to get its current status. When you come back to this screen, the "Status" and "Last Change" columns will display the most up-to-date information about each device.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
- When I click 'poll devices' it looks like it actually picks up on the last change for the PW devices..

- The next release (0.5) which is not available yet has a parameter that allows you to set the trace level (0=off, 1=on, 2=DETAILED).

Cheers
