HouseBot

I was looking at ways to integrate housebot clients with some desktop components like Weather widgets, clock etc. There's an application called multimediabuilder from http://www.mediachance.com which is perfect for the job. It can take over the whole desktop (secured) and you can start external appl...

I've seen some discussions about flash support for buttons etc and it seemed to be too complicated. But what about animated gif support as an alternative? Might be easier to integrate to be able to use animated buttons or weather icons etc

I am normally not into adbertising for softwarecompanies, but I want to make an exeption here. For those amongst you that like to design cool interfaces for Housebot, there is a pretty cheap software available from mediachance.com; called RealDrawPro , which makes professional 3d design, web button ...

Wow Scott, I was just about going to ask you if you planned Global Cache support, and then I discovered that you already developed a plug-in for the stuff. Great Job

Scott, Ididn.t do anything special. Just did a fresh activehome installl and used the dimmer and appliance module that come up. Which serial monitor are you using?

Scott, I've put tracing on. If I send a A3 on with rf remote I get (after 5 sec) Dimmer3, powerstate has changes to on, X10 remote, COmposite property has changed to a;3;On, Error Log X10 remote, Composite Property has changed to a;3;on. If I send the same command again, I only get the first line, s...

Hi Scott, I have a one phase system. It takes a little more than half a second (50Hz) for the lights to reacton the rf command, which is ok. I put the transceiver directly on the same mains connection as the cm11. That didn't improve things. I installed Activehome to see if stausfeedback is just as ...

Scott, thanks for the info, I was on the right path , but for some reason it didn't work. It does now though. I noticed that it takes very long before the x10 trigger is detected by housebot (log window of device). It takes about 6 seconds after the trigger (RF) to get detected by housebot and perfo...

Scott, I don't really know if this is a bug or if I'm asking for a feature, anyway: I tried to connect to the server on a remote client using my main IP address with port forwarding on my router and this seems to work, I haven't tested it using a different internet connection though. However, I can ...

Hi, since nowadays everything gets networked, what about UDP support? I found a SDK on the net here, maybe this somebody can have a go with it. There is also a UDP test program in there. I don't have any UDP controllable stuff here and don't know if the program is just made for their equipment or if...

Scott I believe the command structure is A;1;Bright;5 , not A:1:Bright:5. At least the help file says so and it works. Btw, If I want to use X10 remotes on a different housecode as the dimmers etc to start scenes, how do I set it up? I tried to make an x10 controller with composite property B;1;On a...

I am really new to housebot and I like it a lot already. I tried to connect to multiple servers on my network and this seems to work fine. What I would like to do though is be able to log in on a different server by changing panels , instead of reconfiguring the client and reload, or run multiple in...
