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



Hi Andy
What exactly are you trying to achieve ...??
I dont think the issue is having variable reporting being

might be an idea to to export your latest hv file and create 2 new  hvinput
and hvexclude files and only exclude what you need reporting on ???
