I am on Sonoma 14.4.1 w. BTT 4.465 and I cannot get the Generic Configuration to work reliably. I am using Heavy's script and everything looks straight forward.  
But following the tutorial flow the configured Griffin Powermate does not show on the subsequent triggers. I have tried pushing the save button after the first selection of the HID device and also waiting until completing the analyzer and script entry.  
I have tried restarting.  
In addition, the selected action worked occasionally. I had volume up and down working on rotation, but mute did not work. After deleting everything and starting over, nothing worked.  
What am I missing?

maybe post the full script your are using, then I might be able to see what’s wrong

I just tried again. The configured option disappears even on the item on which it is configured.

It is the script posted on Heavy's site.

```auto
// Input Analyser script for Griffin PowerMate
// Select index 0 and 1 in report 0 for monitoring

function analyzeDeviceInput(targetDevice, reportID, reportDataHex) {
    let reportBuffer = buffer.Buffer.from(reportDataHex, 'hex'),
        // Index 0 is button state. 1 = press, 0 = release.
        button = reportBuffer.readUInt8(0),
        // Index 1 is amount of movement since last report.
        // Signed value, positive for right, negative for left.
        // Spinning really fast I have observed a value up to +/- 7,
        // lets assume it will never be larger than 9.
        movement = reportBuffer.readInt8(1);

    if ( movement < 0 ) {
        if ( button == 0 ) {
            log('left ' + movement);
            // We should probably repeat the trigger "movement" times ...
            // but that would be too many triggers :)
            bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'left');
        } else {
            log('left ' + movement + ' pressed');
            bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'leftpressed');
        }
        // If we are spinning we want the next report even if it's the same
        bttGetNextEvenWithoutChange(targetDevice, reportID);
    }
    else if( movement > 0) {
        if ( button == 0 ) {
            log('right ' + movement);
            bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'right');
        } else {
            log('right ' + movement + ' pressed');
            bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'rightpressed');
        }
        bttGetNextEvenWithoutChange(targetDevice, reportID);
    }

    // When button state change index 1 is always 0, even if knob is spinning.
    else if ( button === 1 && movement === 0 ) {
        log('button press');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'buttonpress');
    }
    else if ( button === 0 && movement === 0 ) {
        log('button release');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'buttonrelease');
    }

}

The Poweremate registers in the analyzer. I provided the list triggers:  
buttonpressed  
buttonreleased  
left  
leftpressed  
right  
rightpressed

It all looks straight forward. But it does not stick except that it worked for left and right once!

I do not think, it's a script issue. After a device has been configured, ti should show up reliably. It does not. It is even "lost" on the line where it was configured, when I open it again.

Mh yes, the script looks good. You mean the device is not showing in the BTT UI anymore?

I got it to work.

- Deleted everything to start over.
- This time I fully set up the first Top Level Trigger.
- When clicked on the right pane Trigger preset again, the Griffin option had disappeared again.
- I reselected the Generic and Griffin showed up. The Trigger options were still set. When I opened the Analyzer, the custom script was still there. I turned and pressed the button and the events showed up.
- I closed the Window.
- Now Griffin Powermate was available for subsequent additions.

It looks to me like there is a bug in the way settings are saved.

</div>

I found one setting that helped it work well-  
in the Analyzer/ Parse Device Input screen-  
Make sure you've 'clicked the bytes you want to monitor'

I had the button unchecked and actions weren't working. once I activated, it worked.
