Once the HG service starts I have to restore my backup settings to restore my system to normal and I have to do this each time I restart the service.

I’m running on a Raspberry Pi, Raspbian Stretch Lite with Mono 5.4.1.6. and HG V1.1.15

Any idea what is causing this problem.

@Bounz you sent me a HomeGenie.exe file to solve a problem I was having with emailing attachments. I noted that the file is 298kb in size while the HomeGenie.exe file that was on the system was 300kb in size. I’m not sure if this makes as difference here.

2

Hmm again, I like your notice of different file sizes. It may play the difference.
Could you please try this file? HomeGenie.exe (300 KB)

3

Again will you give me the full download link for this file

Regards
Peter

Tried that new HomeGenie.exe file you linked. Results are as bad. I downloaded it as you advised so that is not the problem.

Just to let you know.

In v.526 the email is sent with attachment

In v1.1.15 the email is sent without attachment

The two HomeGenie.exe files you linked do not work on my system

I got Homegenie v1.1.15 from the link on the HomeGenie.Club page so why does the new HomeGenie.exe file not work.

I am running on a Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Stretch with Mono 5.4.1.6 Until I get the email sending with attachments I will have to go back to v.526

5

@Bounz did you have any further thoughts on why I am experiencing so many errors in the log after installing the HomeGenie.exe file you supplied.

Would it be possible to include this revised HomeGenie.exe file in the installation package of v1.1.15 so I can rule out the possibility of me making errors at my end.

Hi Peter,

The only thought I have - something is wrong with mono or with compiled stored versions (.dll) of your custom automation programs. I had the plan to try to reproduce this issue during the weekends, but due to overload on my main work, I had to go to work on both Saturday and Sunday.

Yes. By the way: does regular V1.1.15 (without modifications made to enable sending emails with attachments) works normally on your system with mono 5.4.1.6?

7

Yes v1.1.15 was working fine with the email send attachment program but it did not include the attachment photo. As soon as I installed the HomeGenie.exe the problems started.

All I’m using are the C# programs that were already compiling and running fine in v526.
