Hi Bob. Hoping you can help with a rather strange problem.
Upgraded from HS2 to HS3, my sprinkler system is the last to be enabled. Found that the Rain8 plugin supplied by HS didn't work so bought your plugin.
Have a Rain8Net Pro. Simple config. 8 valves. All valves work fine from the actual unit. Server communicates 4800,N,8,1. Communicates ok. In your device config I have a "3" for the com port, corresponding to Com3 on the server.
Installed ok. created the 8 HS devices corresponding to the valves.
My problem is when I turn a zone on from the HS3 device listing.. (CAPI Controller).. anywhere from 2 to 5 of the other devices starting turning themselves on. (Ie all showing as "on" with a value of 100.). At the actual Rain8Net Pro unit.. only the original zone is actually on.. so it's actually working ok in that respect. So for example if I turn on Zone5.. at the unit Zone 5 is on and it waters properly. In the HS3 device listings.. Zone 1, Zone3, Zone7 are showing on and watering. Trying to turn off these devices is like whack a mole.. other ones turn on. Very bizarre. If I look at the logs they show the user has manually turned on these zones.
Needless to say this creates havoc with my HSTouch zone status page for sprinklers.. Have you seen anything like this?
I'm using the latest HS3 version (3.0.0.280). BLRain8Net plugin version 1.0.11.0. In terms of debugging, I've messed with a bunch of com settings, deleted the plugin and reinstalled it.. started and stopped HS3 a bunch of times, disabled and re-enabled the plugins.. the usual stuff.
Any help you can provide would be great!
thx. Rick
