Replace PLC failure

[vitello]

I received a replacement PLC from SmartHome with 2.13 firmware. The Replace PLC command on the Copy/Replace tab of the Insteon plugin is failing with the following Lua message:

LOG: Insteon : 3 - NM: Replace PLC: Old,New: 06.6B.77 08.9E.DC
TreeScript (golua): .\Insteon.lua:5613: attempt to index global `DeviceManger' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

...rder\/plugins/treescript/Insteon Copy Replace UI.lua:215: in function <...rder\/plugins/treescript/Insteon Copy Replace UI.lua:177>

What I did to replace the old PLC was to turn Girder off, replace the old PLC hardware and then restart Girder. Girder seems to be happy with the new PLC. Here is the start up messages:

Help. There are no links under the PLC tab for the new PLC. I have dozens of links and hate to have to rebuild everything by hand.

Yup; same behavior for me...

[Promixis]

this should fix it,

goes in plugins/treescript

Many thanks; the new PLC did wonders for my responsiveness. My Insteon setup is finally as good as my x10 was :).

Just in time for PLM's to become the new standard instead of PLC's!

Best,

I wish I could say the same. I am on my 5th and worst PLC ever. Needs to be unplugged and reset every 2-3 days.

Will the PLM be supported by Girder? I've had it with these PLCs. If they are more of a hassle to use than going back to manual operation, I might as well eliminate them from my setup.
