@James - Homeseer Plugin - Solved ??

["marcrfuller" <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi James,

I've been testing pretty much since this problem started and think I
have tracked it down. It seems that UltraMon plugin is causing the
problems with the xAP Homeseer plugin.

Ultramon is a homeseer plugin that periodically checks tcpip devices
to make sure they are responding... see here:
http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=107098

I built up a new PC with a clean Homeseer install, then re-added each
peice of software until the error showed itself. Every time I tried to
use Ultramon, the error return. It doesn't happen straight away, but
usually within a few hours.

The version of UltraMon I am using is version 1.2.0.0. I can't
remember exactly where I downloaded this version as the version on the
Homeseer boards is an old one.. I think I go it directly from
UltraJones, the guy that wrote it. If you would like to test it, it
can be downloaded from here:
http://gallery.serenitymeadow.com/HSPI_UltraMon.zip
or I can email it
to you.

So it seems this plugin is the source of all my woes. Any ideas why
the Homeseer xAP plugin would not like the UltraMon plugin ?

Any information appreciated.

Marc
