Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PowerCenter Amp Not Switching

 Is there a log I can check somewhere to see what is happening -
 server.log doesn't seem to show anything?

First, double-check your X10 codes on the player settings pages;
PowerCenter is very picky about things like whitespace. Set a player for
M1 and it should work; use M1  and it won't.

PowerCenter did recently change the APIs it uses to handle on/of
switching, but I haven't had any problems on my 7.3.x production system
or my 7.4.1 test system. I'm only using bottlerocket on my system, but
that should not be a material difference. And in any case I would not
expect problems powering an amp on (PowerCenter is now more careful
about powering an amp off, to handle multizone amp setups).

You can use the server's Logging settings to log PowerCenter at Debug
level to get more information. I'm not hopeful about logging helping;
there aren't many logging statements in the on/off handling of 2.2.0.

What sort of player(s) are you using?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] PowerCenter Amp Not Switching

Thanks for your response. 

It was down to the fact that I hadn't put in a serial port device for
the X10 controller I found this out by looking at the old
PowerCenter.prefs file and saw that it was missing.

I can't explain why when I tested out the manual switching it worked
the first time. I think it might be to do with the fact that the thing I
was switching was actually operated by a script kicked off by heyu to
then operate a DomiaLite device via a perl script.

Jamie.
