Control By Web folks, especially Sal!, please test this version

[SALVADOR CAMPOS]

I went back and unselected the check box under user Authentication and the Interface changed from yellow to green. It looks like one unit was created. Now I need to figure out how to get all of my active CBW units into Xtension. Then I just need to signed them to my units. 


Any suggestions ?

So if you have multiple devices (or multiple hosts, each host can share a lot of other devices and that works fine) you’ll need multiple plugin instances for each one. Make sure you have a static IP set for the CBW device and enter that IP and port into the plugin. No configuration is necessary on the control by web device at all. Make sure to also enter your user/password data if you have that setup.

This does not appear to cause my device any problems besides spamming the log for the Vin unit that seems to flicker a couple of tenths of a volt every second or two. You might want to click the “Dont Log New Value Receptions” on the advanced tab of that so that it does not fill your log with useless info. I’ll have a way to shut that off soon too.
