The PDF referred to previously should give some help in setting up the counters, but I did struggle when I first did this - the doc isn't written too well, in my opinion (just my opinion, I don't wish to start another off-topic argument
).In my opinion (again!) the counter HS/Comfort mapping isn't too robust (but it's a small price to pay - I'm still impressed by the plug-in - and HS and Comfort!). Also, I haven't upgraded my HS or Plug-in for some time so don't know if there is a later version available.
Every time I wanted to change something during initial development/experimenting, I ran into some problems with the counter mapping - I can't quite remember the details and it may simply be that I don't understand the mapping methodology - I normally only learn enough about a product to be able to do what I need to do!
I found that if you use the Comfort default counter names, and you then changed a counter name in Comfort and then re-run the plug-in setup (i.e., re-read the CCL), you'd lose the mapping or portions of it (or something to that effect). So what I eventually did was to rename all the counters in Comfort to non-default names (Counter_001 to Counter_254) and to create ALL the counters in HS just once. Then, if I subsequently changed a counter name in Comfort to make it more intuitive, like "cChime" (the leading "c" being my way of identifying counters easily), I could then simply change the name in the plug-in setup and also change the name of the HS device - a couple of extra steps but has been well worth it. OK, so you end up having lots of unused counters displayed in HS Devices, but I simply hide the ones that I'm not interested in seeing. (Maybe there are other negatives to my method, but it works for me!)
Good luck!
