How do I fix this?

Devices %64; &60 and &62.

[Michael McSharry]

Looks like your house codes have been skewed. mcsTemperature uses two house codes with the lower valued one associated internally with House Code 1 and the other with House Code 2 with defaults per the following. The error rates are on the lower numbered house code devices 60 to 63. Device code 64 is used for each of the two house codes as "Original" devices so the plugin will always have these defined within HS so it will not loose the house code identification. 64 is normally hidden. The plugin displays the house codes it thinks it is using on one of the setup page and likely at the bottom. Depending upon what is correct for your setup will determine what the easiest way to correct is. You may find it useful to use InterfaceManager from a sticky in the ADIOcelot forum to help look at what HS really has.

Here is what is displayed on the Virtual Devices setup page.

"Default House Code for New Sensors & Plugin House Codes are & and ("

Does this help. What's the next step to get it fixed?

[Michael McSharry]

The % house code must be left over from a prior install. You need to remove this house code association for mcsTemperature. Delete %64 and any other % that has mcsTemperature as the .interface property. Restart. If you do not want to manually change device names then delete all devices on & and ( except 64 before restart

Other than %64 there is no other 64 device in mcsTemperature. Are you saying to delete the devices or change something in the ini file for mcsTemperature? to remove the association. I don't see anything in the ini file related to the associations.

[Michael McSharry]

The associations are maintained within the .Interface property of the Homeseer devices. The tool I referenced will give you visibilty to this. When you are looking for device 64 make certain the hide device propery is not filtering the display.

The objective is to have exactly two house codes associated with mcsSprinkelrs so that when mcsSprinklers starts it will know which ones belong to it. For devices that it knows about that HS does not know about it should create them and give them a resonable name and location.

The InterfaceManager tools gives you convenient editing capabilty to the set of HS devices and includes properties that are applicable and not visible with the UI that HS provides.

I deleted all the devices with House codes of "&" and "(" and then restarted HS. Now I don't see any device with Code 64 (even when using the interfacemanager program); some of my sensors are missing devices and the forecast is not displaying properly.

I may have really hosed this up.

[Michael McSharry]

Forcast likely has not yet updated. You can use Get Forecast Now button to get it earlier. I dont know what you mean about missing DC for sensors. You seem to have &1, &2 etc. The device 64 is only a placeholder to assure the housecode is not given to some other plugin when a new plugin is added. I did expect it to be created.

Michael,

Here are the problems I see with the above,

1. No devices are created for sensors &1, &3, &4 and &67 (all of which appear on the sensor page of the plugin)

2. Devices &60 through &63 (Composite Error Rate, DS97097 Error rate, TEMP05 Error Count and Sensor Error Count) are listed/reserved in the plugin for "Forecast 2 - 5 Min".

3. The forcast did populate (after the above screen shot), but are overridden by the Erorr count information per above for devices &60 through &63.

Thanks for the help.

[Michael McSharry]

I believe the devices are only created when you do a Save from the sensor page.
If I recall correctly the devices where all the forecast info is stored is a user input. It originally defaulted to the second mcsTempeature house but your skew of the house code now has the setup using the first of the two. You will want to change these device codes on the setup to use something other than what is used by the error counts.
