Here's a safe-to-use link to mirrored download sites for EG RC6, which I use:

Tried to install the EventGhost hubitat plugin on Windows 11 and it throws errors...
Is it supported on Win11?
I just tried on my windows 10 pc and am receiving the same error
Id like info on one of the plugins "weather". The EventGhost web site is down. Does anyone know if its coming back.
Well, apparently the website is in shambles along with the dev being MIA.
The EG site has been down quite a while now, but earlier this week, I posted a working download link for the latest (RC6) version of their Windows app. Go HERE to get it.

HE total newb here. I've always had EventGhost with webserver running. I successfully installed the plugin there with no errors. Then I used HPM to install PC Controller Device in the Drivers Code section and PC Controller in the Apps Code section. But the video about how to use it then shows Computers in the Apps section and the ability to Add Computer. I don't see that in my Apps section and since I'm new, I don't see anything in my Devices section. Why don't I have a way to Add Computer?
After adding the code, you'll need to "install" the app. From the apps page, click the button for "add user app" and select PC Controller from the list.

Thanks for the help, Cheese! The UI isn't exactly the greatest for newbs. I got EventGhost sending and receiving with Hubitat. I'm still stuck a bit on passing parameters (in both directions). The video shows EG passing the VOL parameter to HE. I don't have a volume slider on that computer and I also don't know how that parameter automatically got passed to EG. And I've also tried to pass the %device% variable from HE to EG but can't get that to work.
Here's an action that I built with 2 variables:
And here's the log of what happens when I run actions. Nothing appears in EventGhost:
Where can I get more help on using variables like %device% (especially to and from EventGhost (even harder now that their website is down))?
Has someone here found a solution to this traceback error? I've been an EG user for over a decade but just starting with Hubitat. I've been on 0.4.1.r1722 for several years. Is RC6 required for the Hubitat plugin to work?
Hi all. Occasionally Eventghost icon on the right bottom of the screen turns yellow. That means that none of my automations are working. I tried to find out what does that yellow icon means because normally it is green. Everything works again after I close EventGhost and start it again.
I can't offer a solution yet, but sometimes soon I will try to transfer my EG setup from a Win 10 to Win 11 setup. Hopefully I can work it out.
I get the same errors on Windows 10 (with EG version 0.4.1.4.1722). I cannot figure out where to download version 0.5.0-rc6, or how to update python. Sorry I'm such a newb.
Please disregard. I found it here under Assets, and the errors have ceased.

I just updated today to platform 2.3.7.144 and subsequently found that I was getting these warnings every reconnect delay timing (had been set to 1s but looks like each call to the PC takes a couple seconds):
Obviously, the PC is turned off, but I wasn't getting these warnings before the upgrade. I don't even see any of the log warnings written in your code relating to this error. For now, I just set the time to a longer time so as to not flood the logs with errors. Not sure if anything can be done?
Thanks...
I didn't actually write this driver, @gilshallem produced this little gem. I'll see if I can take a look later today.

Oops. I saw developer under your last reply and made an incorrect assumption. Thanks for tagging @gilshallem
Hi @es_ferret , I've taken a brief look at the code and my suspicion is tfw warning is coming from some internal functions in the HE platform, rather than being produced by the driver. Not that the HE platform is not working, just that maybe it is having trouble communicating with your PC. in terms of why this started happening, I am not sure.... It is likely something outside of this driver, but can't be sure why...
Well my computer was off, so it makes sense that it can't connect. I use it weekdays when working. It wasn't throwing these warnings before the platform upgrade, so I do think it's platform generated. If it's happening for me, it should be happening for anyone using this driver. I think it defaulted to 1 second reconnect intervals when the device was added. I can clearly change the interval, but that only spaces out the timing of the warnings (though I don't know what the reconnect interval does for the device driver to know if that's wise). Should I submit this as a bug report to the folks from HE that manage the platform updates?
Thanks!
Based on what you've described, at this stage, I don't expect it is a bug in the platform. If the PC was off and the driver tried to connect using the websocket interface, it makes perfect sense for it to report a warning that the host was unreachable. The question is more why the behaviour changed. It could be as simple as they added in a warning entry that would automatically get logged against the device.
Yeah, I raised this a few years ago further up in this thread and I think changing the value to something larger should be fine. But like you say, it only spaces them out. I expect what you will likely want to do is find a way to determine when the PC is off and somehow tell the PC controller device to stop trying to connect (not sure how exactly). You could try using an energy monitoring plug if you have one handy, to tell when the PC is on/off. What you could do with the PC Controller device, not sure..
