B4017 version string error

[broadstairs]

This suddenly popped up so thought I should mention it. The error message said ' ProcessData: Error - Version string portion was too short or too long. (Parameter 'input')'. See log extract... this is running with a custom server input to CMX from a GW1200 gateway.

Thanks Stuart. I'll take a look at this when I'm back up to speed (I had some minor surgery yesterday!}

[broadstairs]

No problem Mark, it's not causing any problem that I can see. Hope you recover OK.

I have got a string error as well on one of my V4 sites - the one using Ecowitt EasyWeather Pro

When CMX starts I get

Press Enter to terminate


I have attached MXdiags - for the moment I have gone back to V3 for this site and this is working ok.
All my other V4 sites are fine

[mcrossley]

Can I ask - do you have the MAC address for your station entered in the MX config?

[broadstairs]

Yes the .ini file does contain a mac address under the GW1000 section but this is a type 14 station driven from the Custom Server option on the GW1200. I wonder if the mac is a throwback from when it used the local API? The EcowittMacAddress in the .ini is blank. The custom sever option was set manually by me.

Stuart

[The Dalek Hunter]

I am away from home for a few days at the moment but a quick check via VPN shows there is a MAC address in the settings for this station. Should I delete it and try again (when home)

[mcrossley]

No do not delete the MAC

I've fixed the code so it will not crash produce an error. I'll follow up with how the MAC is captured and used - primarily for ecowitt.net when using catch-up on the primary station.

[The Dalek Hunter]

Many thanks - I will look forward to the next v4 beta

[mcrossley]

Could you both let me know what MAC you have configured please?

[broadstairs]

Mark mine is MACAddress=58:CF:79:DF:C9:64 in the GW1000 section of the .ini file which is the one for the Custom Server gateway in use.

Stuart

[mcrossley]

Thanks Stuart

[The Dalek Hunter]

Mine is bc:FF:4D:10:E8:E4

[mcrossley]

Thanks.

[The Dalek Hunter]

Working fine with the latest beta version - many thanks
