GC100 plugin questions

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

I installed the Global Cache GC100 plugin. After installation I added the ip address and rebooted. This created three additional devices which show as GC100 TTL Input, 1, 2. Is this normal? This is my first swing at using the Zmote which is supposed to work with the GC100 plugin. I was hoping for a lower cost solution similar to the Harmony, but I can’t get this working nearly as easily as I got the Harmony working.

I have read through the forums, but the additional devices added show up as sensors.

Global Cache have a lot of models - which one are you talking about? Likewise, which Zmote?:

If you are talking about the GC-100-xx models then have you used their utility to set the I/O to be outputs or inputs as needed?

Next problem is that each IR transmitter is separate child under the parent GC100 device. However they are set to hidden in the UI- why? - no idea.

They can be set to visible Lua code using:

luup.attr_set(“invisible”, “0”, )

Where is the parent ID with either 1, 2, or 3 added to it, in order to address each child in turn.
