HouseBot

Dom, I use their PCI equivlent in desk tops without any problems. I've also used USB to RS232 DB9 adaptors without issues, but they can be a little tricky. I can't say I've used PCMCIA cards for I/O but I don't see why that would be a problem other then price. I currently use two dual PCI RS232 DB9 ...

Damn, back to the learning curve...

I thought just like you when I first setup my remote. I pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the heck I was doing. There are situations where you want that one button on the remote to send out several commands in a row. For example, if you were setting up a channel macro , like channel numbe...

Please pardon me if I misread your post, but after reading it several times I get the feeling that if you installed a word processor on you computer, you would expect to hammer in a couple ideas on the keyboard, hit return, and get a novel. That said... Yes, you are correct. It takes all that you wr...

I did that several times with no success. I must be doing something else wrong. I really have no experience with the program other then some tinkering.

I found some round button images that I would like to edit for use in a HouseBot theme. I've searched the forum over and over for an answer but can only get some of the info I need. I found Scott's ImageDup utility and figured out how to make that work, except the transparency part.(Thanks Scott, Th...

Richard, I just figured that out. I actually got it to run and duplicate some buttons just now. I haven't been able to force transparency, but maybe with time I will stumble on how to do that as well. I haven't done ahything in DOS for years(very clumsy at it). Thank you very much for your quick rep...

Can anyone explain to me just how to use this utility? When I try to run it , a small window appears and then disappears as quickly as it appeared. When answering, please remember I'm a moron.

Thank you,

It appears this was a false alarm. I had a couple of other hardware interfaces enabled that were not in use. I tuuned them off and now Housebot no longer crashes.

I bought a new XP Pro PC and I will use it as my editing PC for Housebot software remote. I installed Housebot and USB UIRT and the associated drivers and plug-ins. If I stay in the editor and test the USB UIRT device, I can send IR signals all day long but if I start the local software remote and t...

For those members curious to know the cause and resolution to this problem or generally seeking closure for this thread, here is the ugly truth. It appears that I somehow changed the "Send IR Command" to "ableOnDemandF1". I have no idea how I did that but knowing me like I do, I ...

Thanks Scott,

I'll try to send that file to you. I'll look.

Thanks Richard, You are correct of course. I was more concerned about the stability of the program as a whole on my machine. The HouseBot program has been the most wonderful, taylorable, software I've ever used. It truly is Genius! The remote control I use with it has evolved over a long period of t...

I agree, it should be there but it isn't. I've had other weird things happen like "select" boxes not appearing in the HouseBot program. I don't know if the program is corrupt or what the heck is going on. I do know I'll be in trouble if I need to add property values to that segment of the ...

When I went into the property manager, "Send IR Command" is no longer on the list. If I try to add it again the "Not Unique" message box appears. All my IR commands work through the USB-UIRT. WTF?

Any ideas???
