    Plugin sometimes doesn't see motion

    Really the only issue I have with HS3 is that sometimes my Envisalink DSC events don't see that there has been motion. For instance, lights turn off after a certain amount of inactivity in a room. I will walk into a room, turn the lights on and they immediately turn off again because the plugin hasn't registered motion. I can do a little dance and turn turn the lights on several times before things work. It is possible that the issue is on the DSC/Envisalink end but I don't think so. I used this hardware with a MCV Vera for a while and never once had these issues.

    Also with the Vera if I turned a light off, say on the way out of a room, it would sense my leaving the room and immediately turn the light back on again. Doesn't happen most of the time with this plugin and HS3. This really isn't an issue because it was a problem before. Having to rely on the motion sensor and timers to turn lights off is ridiculous when you have already hit a switch.

    I have tried to set the log to debug but every time I do the events work the next attempt.

    Not sure what to do.

    I am not seeing this problem S-F. It must be just you or maybe your imagining the problem. If nobody else is seeing it then why should HS fix it? I mean like the Zwave problems you are not seeing why should this be any different?

      Wow.

      Stooping to a new low.


      Will a mod (Rupp? Not sure who are the mods. Learning the ropes) please whack this and the preceding post?

      And does this forum have a feature to allow the blocking of posts by specific members? I can't seem to find it.

        Just a taste of your own medicine. You state my problems are trivial and should be ignored because you are not having them so well yours are trivial to me and others not having them.

        You don't like the feeling of people saying your problem with HS is unimportant well stop saying other peoples problems are insignificant and should be ignored. We all paid a lot of money.

        I hope Rich sees this so he fixes your problem I really do. But you need to respect other people. Had you not done what you did I would have not posted more than 3 times today. Your posts pissed me off because you act like its no big deal to have to constantly redo the whole setup. Well if it ever happens to you like it does to many others you will probably change your mind.

          Can you try to keep the log level to Debug for a while, so that when it happens again we can see if the plugin gets the info about the movement?

            How do you set the plugin to debug mode? I select debug from the dropdown but the setting doesn't persist after I leave the page. When I navigate back to the config page for the plugin info is set again.

              the log level setting should persist, it is written to the EnvisaLink.ini everytime you change it.
              It works for me with HS version 3.0.0.125, but I know some users have reported some problems when writing to ini files. What version of HS are you running.

              Alternatively you can set the log level to Debug manually by adding the following lines to EnvisaLink.ini and then restart the plugin

              Code:
              [general]
              log_level=Debug

                Does this help? I turned the light off and then did a little dance. The light didn't come back on.

                  what is the zone number of your motion sensor? Is it zone 36?

                  if so, it looks like the plugin saw your little dance between 2:38:43 and 2:38:55.

                  How have you defined your event? Do you use the EnvisaLink Trigger "EnvisaLink Receive Message Zone Open" or do you use the native trigger "This device changes and becomes..." ?

                    Yes it's zone 36. I use EnvisaLink Receives Message: Zone Open as the trigger. So it's looking like this one was a HS3 issue then?

                    Some times though, I will enter a room and HS3 turns the lights off immediately after I turn them on by the switch. It's hard for me to capture this in the log because keeping the Envisalink plugin on debug really fills up the log fast and the issue doesn't occur too frequently. I will keep at it though.

                    Still can't set it to debug without editing the .ini file. I'm on HS3 .130.

                      I will try to replicate this problem on my system. In the meantime could you try to use the trigger "This devices changes and becomes..." instead of the EnvisaLink one, and see if that change anything?

                        It doesn't change anything. I have other events which use that trigger and fail from time to time also. I will continue to try getting a debug log of one of the more pronounced issues.

                        Thanks for looking into it.

                          @ spud,

                          Could you add a feature to have the plugin create it's own debug log file like Blade's plugins do? I am still experiencing this issue but it only happens a few times a day and keeping debug on creates so much chatter that it makes the log all but useless to me.
