Re: xAP Floorplan beta 4 released

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxxxx>]

It no longer crashes - whoohoo! :-)

After a few minutes (without fail!) it says "is not receiving xAP
messages". I can't fix this without restarting Floorplan. I'm using
the GUI Hub on my remote PC which is running Floorplan. I'm not
running a hub on the HS computer as the xAP Conduit is the only xAP
app running on it.

I deleted the setting.ini file to start over since it hadn't listed
all of my devices. The detection window appeared in Homeseer so I
accepted all that but it didn't broadcast the devices. I restarted
all apps and still nothing is showing in Floorplan. Any suggestions
please?

Thanks,
Gary.
