Re: xPL newbie (still!) needs help with xPL_HomeVision (detecting variable chang

["fondlezz" <amkilgore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

Just to be safe, I rewrote the determiator and removed ALL variables
from the HVExlcude.hvx. Same problem with xPL_HomeVision not detecting
up the variable change. However, now when I do the manual
"Resync" the
determiator fires and the actions get executed.

All out of ideas... :o(

Thanks,
Andy.
