HouseBot

I holler. Having access anywhere to any music for a small monthly subscription just makes things too easy.

Wow, pretty secure. But they probably don't need the code, since the range for that transfer is only a few feet.

Steve,

I'm not sure what the THC Jukebox is (probably not a THC/cannabis product that comes up in the search), but it's not too surprising. There's a chance they may not deprecate JScript and maybe it could be ported to JScript.

I'm not sure if it's 100% necessary, but it's the easiest way to manage the system. The alternative is having to take the controller that is attached to the HB computer to each device to include/exclude it. I know the Z-Stick has a battery that will allow you to remove it from the USB port to includ...

... it mentions " Transfer the Z-Wave system configuration from a wireless controller to the Z-Wave controller. " . Is a third piece of hardware required to get the Zwave dongle to recognize/find the switch? Z-wave controllers can usually be setup as a primary or secondary controllers. Th...

Weird. I don't see anywhere where the generic serial interface will disable itself once enabled and running. It will disable itself on startup if there is a problem connecting to the com port. Is HouseBot getting restarted when this happens? Maybe since it's a new machine the windows serial driver i...

The schema is the same for the new SQLite database. Unfortuntaly there aren't foreign keys to help with the relationships (which is part of the problem you are experiencing), but hopefully most of the table relationships aren't too difficult to figure out. If you want to Email/Google Drive/Dropbox/e...

Looks like your database might still be a little corrupt. You will probably need to delete the data in the DB directly (or send it to me and I can look into it). If you have any questions about the tables and relationships, let me know.

We got some snow too. Probably not as much as you.

That's great news! Who knew that all you needed was a little snow

Well... that's a bummer. Unfortunately even though the theme are just XML files, when you recreate devices and tasks, they will get new IDs that won't match the ones stored in the theme XML.

I wouldn't delete the device unless it's invalid somehow or shouldn't exist.

Better to just delete the reference in the TaskList table (if you can find it).

Steve,

You can either open the HBData.db sqllite database file and try and fix it, or you can send it over to me and I'll look into it.

Great News!

Hopefully the odd crashes you were seeing on the old box won't be the next problem.

Steve, I just installed the latest version of Windows 11 in a VM and found a solution to your installation issue. Try this: Right mouse click on the HouseBot shortcut (or on the application if running from the "\Program Files (x86)\HouseBot" directory) Select Properties Select Advanced... ...

Steve, It sounds like two issues (install issue and older crash). I suppose it's possible that they could be related, but I would guess they are separate. My win11 machine has HouseBot installed and running from a local user admin account. The system UAC is set to the default (notify when apps try t...
