Re: Homeseer script question?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

OK - looks like I answered my own question...

I was actually creating the variable in a VB app external to Homeseer,
using
the Homeseer COM Interface. It looks like this was the cause, - it seems
that because I created it in this way, it's scope was not included in the
homeseer application's scope (or something) - which makes it a little odd
that when I did a hs.savevar in my 2nd script, I did NOT get any error...

Anyway, I have moved it out of the external VB app, and into the startup
script, and it all seems to work as expected now...
