HouseBot

Thanks Alan. I just wanted to be sure I didn't mess things up by copying stuff from one version to the other and finding there were compatability issues.

Now that I've finally managed to get hold of Meedio HouseBot (Alan very kindly emailed it to me as the download doesn't like to work through a firewall), is there any suggested procedure to upgrade from the freeware 2.15 version to the Meedio HouseBot version. The Meedio version installs in a differ...

Alan, I have PM'd the link to you.

I was able to get my unlock key without any problem and I correctly received an email providing the download link however that link simply doesn't work for me ... either clicking on it or cutting and pasting into the browser.

... I think I just answered my own question. I just tried installing one of the "Meedio" HouseBot plugins with an existing HouseBot 2.15 installation and it will not even install.



Anyone using HouseBot 2.15 should be very careful!!

Thanks for that ... I must have missed that post.



I would be extremely interested to know if those plugins now being provided will work with the freeware version of HouseBot 2.15 ... given that I can't get the download of "Meedio HouseBot" to work.

So, the previously free HouseBot is in future going to cost me around a staggering $AU120!! ... and even though I'm a previous user and eligible for the "free" version I have to agree to receive spam from you in order to download it!! ... and after going through the process, getting my unl...

uh..oh..I see AndyK coming in for a tackle.....:) Hahaha .... no, not this time Pablo. As I've said to Scott, I would like to see any integration of HouseBot and Meedio implemented by means of optionally installed components. That is, Meedio would be no different from any other HouseBot "devic...

No, I removed that post voluntarily out of respect for Scott. It was simply a link to a download site for the freeware version of HouseBot.

... a rude and presumptive manner ... You mean a bit like the way HouseBot was pulled from under existing user's feet with virtually no notice. :) Sure " it sucks to have to pay for something that was once free " but that's not the point. I don't think any existing users would ever have m...

:)

BTW: what was once free, can't be made unfree :-) so if you know where to go to get the old housebot stuff let me know. Although the licence agreement from the freeware version does not legally prevent anyone from distributing it, there is a moral aspect to be considered. Also, I think it would be ...

Thanks for the response Alan and I'm sorry you feel offended. That wasn't the intention. I think this is just the result of the frustration felt by HouseBot users in not knowing what is happening and the overwhelming feeling that they have lost something they valued. Australians are known for speaki...

...I would like to see HB mature but personally I don't care if it integrates with Meedio Essentials or not. I'm interested in the HA aspects of HB. Yes, I'm only interested in the HA aspects of HouseBot as well but I DO care if it integrates becuase I would hate to see it grow into some bloated ho...

That's a completely ambiguous answer Alan. In one paragraph you say that "we value HouseBot for everything that it provides as a standalone automation application" and in the next you say that "For now there are two engines" (I emphasise the "for now") and "In the ...

... I eagerly await some announcement as to the clear future of housebot though ... Hahaha ... I think there may be one or two more users out here who would be more than happy to see that too!! What are the chances of an honest statement of intention? Something on which users can base a decision.
