I did as you asked—see attached for the settings. Does it bother you that the "How should data be retrieve...." field appears unset? I set it, click Save and when I come back later, the "How should data be retrieve...." field again appears unset. Is that normal?
After that things get strange.
I already had a tail -f running for the plugin log file, and when I looked at that terminal window (before repeating the steps as you asked) I saw
home:com.karlwachs.INDIGOplotD home$ tail -f plugin.log
08:56:21 theCol:1; updatesALL:True; sqlDynamic:batch-resetTo-batch2Days; sqlHistListStatus:[0, 50]

Note that the log files is in /Users/home/Documents/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.4/Logs/com.karlwachs.INDIGOplotD/plugin.log (under my Documents folder) because I have Indigo running from there, so my Indigo files are backed up by Backblaze.
Anyway, with the tail -f still going, I repeated the steps as you asked, but I never saw anything new written to plugin.log, and the device was not added. I tried several times.
I decided to try and reload the plugin, and in the Indigo log I saw

After that I was surprised that I was then able to add four devices using the steps I posted previously, and then...the fifth did not work, nor the next, etc. I was unable to add any more.
I still never saw any changes written to plugin.log — the last entry is the "main loop stopped" — which is from BEFORE I was able to successfully add the four devices.
I can try and wipe everything out and start over if you think best—in fact I tried to do that but it didn't seem to help. If you think that's worth trying again, please let me know which things I need to delete, steps to take, etc. to completely start over, and I will try.
Thank you for the help!
