IS this a problem with the plugin?

ok so I've been continuing to have problems with my OS rain sensor(s). I bought a new one thinking that the old one might be a problem, Still the same problem with the new sensor, no updates to any of the states.

This morning I decided to add my original sensor back into the mix. Now its updating every minute or so, saying that it's been added. This tends me to believe that its the plugin, not the sensor or the RFXrec. Playing around with the settings, I selected Currently raining? And it comes back yes. However its a beautiful sunny morning here. Meanwhile my other rain sensor has not been updated in 5 days,

I deleted both Rain Gauges and started from scratch. It appears to be updating now. Might get some rain soon so I'll know for sure.


Update: Its been raining half the night and all morning.. the updates have gone through, but no data has been received.

Here's the latest info that I'm seeing:

[matt (support)]

It looks like there is an incompatibility between Indigo and how the plugin is overriding a method. I'll email the developer the details so he can provide a fix.

I'm not positive it will fix the Rain Gauge problem, but base on the Event Log snipped above it might.

Thanks Matt.

I'm happy to report that I'm finally getting data from my OS Rain Sensor to Indigo. I replaced the Rfxrec's antenna with the Radio Shack antenna as mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8355

I'm now getting a signal strength of 8 and I have .35 rain so far today.

There is a new version available here (1.3.6):http://www.rjdekok.nl/downloads/RFXCOM.indigoPlugin.zip

I have just got a new RFXtrx433 and am trying to set this up with a Byron Home Easy HE306 wireless doorbell. I have been following this discussion and this article. But cannot get any triggers to work. I have set up a device to transmit, which rings the door chime unit. But when I press the door bell I get this in the log in debug mode -

I am using Indigo 6.0.3 on a mac mini with OS 10.8.4. I have installed the FTDI driver and the latest RFXCOM plugin.

As I am new to this I am not sure how this trigger should be set up. Should I be able to see a RF/X-10 N8 ON command in the log when I press the doorbell, and use this to command to set up a trigger? Thanks!
