RE: xap homeseer plugin

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've wondered that too - I had some problems with a similar situation
but didn't resolve it.

There is some kind of problem with the updating of the device string value
- IIRC (and my memory is a bit hazy!) if you manually change the device
string, it won't then get updated - you have to reset the device (can't
remember how I did that but I found the info on the HS forum). This is
probably a different scenario to yours though?

James - any ideas?

Paul.
