Have tried using this driver by @Jost. At first it ran about a week. Then I had to reinstall it get it wirking again. Now it runs a few days then stops. No error in the log. Have to reinstall it everytime. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Firgot to add that I'm running a C8 on 2.5.0.136
Suspect that the connection is dropping hitting Initialize should restart it. To track down what status is returned when the disconnect happens you could change the Log Type preference to Debug and wait for the disconnect message - that in turn could be used to automatically issue the Initialize command.
Problem is there is no initialize command. I have to make a change in one of the comment lines in the driver to be able to save a change.
How can I add the Initialize command? Never programmed a driver.
The device is an actuator.
My apologies, quickly scanned the driver and saw that it had the coding already there for the initiailize command and assumed that it was set to auto restart if the hub rebooted.
Easiest way is to insert
capability "Initialize"
after the line that reads
capability "Actuator"
Thanks for your help.
Made the driver change. Now there are some string variables from the JSON string.
Added a new device rhat monitors the ERROR monitoring device and the WARN monitoring device for DEBUG logging. Will wait to see errors.
