Re: Possible bug in xPLHVision

["gmotichka" <gmotichka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a follow up on this. I redid the terminator to again try the
timer. The action consists of this

Message type = command
Target = GSHED-HVISION.HOMEVISION
Schema = contol.basic

Device=13
Type=Timer
Current=Set
data1=00300000  (As bob said ssssmmhh)

In the four boxes of the GSHED-HVISION.HOMEVISION view I get this:

,=0d0400300000 (not 0b like Bob)     conrtol.confirm



DEVICE=13TYPE=TIMERCURRENT         OUTPUT:13
the rest is cut off



And then I get an error box from xPLDEV


Run-time error "9":
Subscrip out of range


Can the control.basic schema take extended (data1) paramaters?
By the way Bob, this did not reset all my timers. That may be
because it shut down with the error.
