@rualblas: Can you post a screenshot and maybe set logging to debug and see what appears in logs?

@rualblas: The plugin is most of the time behind the plugwise software. The plugin is polling (default once 20 sec, but you can configure this) plugwise while plugwise can do it's updates realtime. Is the plugin giving a wrong value al the time, or just for a couple of seconds?

Hi Rene,
Only the fridge status, i don't trust. but i'm testing.
The difference is that i have locked the fridge in the source software. on/of is not possible.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">5. Copy the statistics.xml and switch.xml file to <your plugwise dir>/html, e.g. c:\program files\plugwise\plugwise source\www<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

I guess that switch.xml should be switch.<b>html</b> as I do not see switch.xml in the downloaded hspi_Plugwise.zip file

You are absolutely right, I will correct it in my original post.

Rene,
When editing non plugwise devices there will be a plugwise banner see screen shot.

Chak: Yep, I can nothing do about that that's how homeseer works. When you want additional parameters for a specific plugin to be configurable within this screen they show up with every device. At first I thought this wasn't logical, however it is sort of. When you change the device type in this screen to a device which needs additional parameters Homeseer has no method to retrieve these parameters, so it must do this upfront for all plugins. Would you prefer to set the additional parameters for this plugin (which will be collect stats or not, block device for manual state change, block device for all state changes), to be done in a separate configuration screen specific for this plugin or would you prefer to set all parameters for a device in one screen?

Rene.

Rene,
Did not know that..It's okay for me

I'm having problems to control the plugs from event.
Sometimes it's not working
When are the device status and value set, is this after 20 sec?

Post by **Rene** » Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:54 pm

The device status is set as soon as you press a button, however this does not result in status update within Homeseer, I have to look into that. The device value is changed at poll time, so depending on your configured refresh interval (default 20sec). At this time also the device string is rewritten (the status you see within your status screen) which triggers a device update within Homeseer and thus will trigger any event. The device value is set to 100* usage because decimals are not supported as a device value.
