Chapter 16—Troubleshooter
2 The Home Control Assistant
 Are there any devices, programs, or groups that have been suspended?
 Are there conflicting schedule entries for a group and any of its members?
 Are operations with devices consistent with their properties? For example if you a using a
DIM operation does the device properties show it supports DIM?
If any of the conditions are found, then you have a possible problem in your design, and the
Inspector notes it for you.
The Inspector periodically examines your home design. Each time you make a change to your
design and every minute or so, the Inspector checks for possible problems.
Depending upon the severity of the problems found, the troubleshooter icon in the ribbon changes.
Hint: When you look at the troubleshooter dialog, in the lower right hand corner is the mark
for a resizable dialog. By using the mouse and clicking and dragging you can make the
inspector dialog larger or smaller. This can make it easier to use the inspector, as you
can see much more when it is expanded.
Inspector
The inspector can check for many conditions. There are so many possible conditions that it may
be useful for you to select only some of them. The Inspector Setup tab appears as:
After reading the text on this dialog, select the conditions you want the inspector to check for.
If you uncheck one or more of the options, those checks are not done so no messages for those
kinds of checks appear on the Inspector tab. If you do check one of the options, messages may
appear but you can
check them off if they are not problems. This is described in the next section.
