Paring Invalid device type. Device type has to be provided in hexadecimal format

Hello,
I installed all and paired 2 Devices. But now I get this error after paring on:
Invalid device type. Device type has to be provided in hexadecimal format.

CMD

families select 0
For a list of available family commands type >>help<<.
Family 0> paring on
Invalid device type. Device type has to be provided in hexadecimal format.

Can someone help me please?

Hey Andy,

which version of homegear are you using? I can not reproduce this… albeit I’m using the current nightly.

pi@homegear:~ $ sudo homegear -r
Connected to Homegear (version 0.8.0-2835).

Ahh, got it. You typed a space ( ) after pairing on.

Just remove this or use pon.

Actually paring on without space also produces the error message - I need to check why. The command without the typo (pairing on) works.

LOL! Did not saw the typo, though.
