New Plugin: Cynical Behaviors

Perry, it had nothing to do with the computer.
I just installed Indigo on a Mac Mini freshly restored to factory settings. Indigo is pretty much the only 3rd party software on the computer. (Growl too).
Same issue. Absolutely no response.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is the state getting updated and the triggers just aren't firing? Or is the state not changing when you activate the sensors?

Hi Joe,
In the devices screen, the state remains blank.
In the log, nothing happens other than the insteon sensor itself updating.

If you haven't done it yet, open the Configure... dialog for Cynical Behaviors and check the Debug checkbox. Then reload the plugin, trigger one of your leak sensor devices, and attach here (or send me) the Indigo log from when you reloaded the plugin.

Cheers

Updated "Leak - Danielle Bathroom" on

George, I don't quite know what to tell you. The log is normal, and when I try this with one of my eight leak sensors, it goes off like it should. What are the states of the leak monitor device after you shorted the sensor?

Cheers

They show blank. State is not being changed/updated.
However, I didn't actually short the sensor. I just changed the state from Indigo. This works for other triggers. But I'll go try to actually short it, and post an update here

That was it!
It works when I actually short out a sensor as opposed to just turning it on from Indigo.
Thanks for the help!

Anyone else getting an error from Cynical Behaviors (Garage Door) after upgrading to Indigo 7?

Code: Select all

   Cynical Behaviors Error         ignoring unrecognized standard action <indigo.DeviceAction object at 0x1130bcb18>

[quote="davvi"]Anyone else getting an error from Cynical Behaviors (Garage Door) after upgrading to Indigo 7?

Make sure you have the latest version (1.0.3 or later) of the plugin. Earlier ones won't work with Indigo 7.

I started getting an error on both Behaviors and Cache plugins and they seem similar here is both. The Cache Plugin seems to be working fine but I get the error when I try to open the config

Yeah, that.

I had the final updates all staged up, and then I went on a nice trip to the other coast while Indigo 7 actually dropped... and those updates didn't make it out until five minutes ago.

So... fetch updates, should be better now. Sorry 'bout that.

Updated to 1.0.5, all is well. Thank you. Now I can continue using THIS thing to control the garage door.

That looks... familiar. (When I rebuilt the house, I switched to using a bog-standard INSTEON door sensor and a Global Caché contact relay, but before that, mine looked a lot like this, only less tidy. )
