Start up error that is not valid.

Post by jhoski »

I'm getting the following error during start-up.

Unable to find stock device with name [Weather] and description [Weather]. Make sure plug-in is installed.

I was using this plug-in on a different computer and this began after I imported some devices from it. I then removed all items related to the Weather plug-in. As far as I can tell all references to it are gone from the config but I still get this message.
Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks, Jay

Make sure the now deleted device(s) are not referenced in a task or a theme.

As far as I can tell they are not referenced anywhere.
This appears to be some residual reference that I can no longer see. It that possible?

It could also be due to a missing device definition file (*.ddf). You might want to check to make sure that you have all of the *.ddf files from your \HouseBot\Config\GenericSerialDefs folder on the new machine. Sometimes if the device doesn't even load, you can't find it in the configuration to remove it.
