Possible problem with error message handling about device-plugwise-perl HOT 9 OPEN

Receiving this error when trying it out. The full message xpl-plugwise shows:

Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/Digest/CRC.pm line 264.

First I tried it with xpl-sender -c plugwise.basic -m xpl-cmnd command=status device=000D6F0001A44599 -v -w 3, but.. it didn't want the full address, only A44599.

Hi,

thanks for your report.

Concerning you tests with the full MAC address of the device: using the full address is not supported. As a user you typically only see the short address and hence that is what I use to interface to the devices. If this is a problem: I'll gladly accept pull requests :-)

Concerning the CRC error: you're by chance not trying to read live status as fast as you can from the stick? I heard from others that this sometimes causes problems. You can try to switch on the 'ultra verbose' setting to get more insight in what is going on.
According to what I know, the source software from Plugwise only read status once per 8 seconds max. Pulling info faster might not be supported and might be resulting in incomplete responses and in error codes.

Please provide me with more info on what you're doing and when the error occurs so that I can try to reproduce it.

Kind regards,
Lieven.

No worries with full MAC, just got me a bit confused ;)

The command I ran was: xpl-sender -c plugwise.basic -m xpl-cmnd command=status device=A44599 -v -w 3, but realize now that I should have put 1A44599 as device.

Doing that works and I get a proper response, but xpl-plugwise still complains with the following messages (--ultraverbose): http://septum.org/xpl-plugwise.txt

from device-plugwise-perl.

Hmm, strange.

Please provide some more details on the system you're using. Maybe your Digest::CRC module is too old. I did not put an explicit version requirement in the code for that module, maybe I should do so…

Debian wheezy (with Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae).

From Digest/CRC.pm:

Hmm, looks recent enough. I'll have to dig in further to see what is happening. Might take a week or two before I have time to do so however…

To be clear: you're able to communicate with the plugs and turn it on and off but you get the CRC error message, right?

Best regards,
Lieven.

Yeah, it seems to be working fine (now when I use the correct address).

So it's more of an eyecandy thing/warning from Digest::CRC than an actual error/problem :)

OK, cool. Thanks for the update. It is still worth trying to find out what the problem is, though. I'll leave this ticket open and keep it in mind. I need to check what exact version of the CRC module I'm running at home.

Kind regards,
Lieven.

OK, I can reproduce it on an Raspi. Needs to be examined in detail.
