HouseBot

housebot works with the usbuirt directly so there is no need for girder. however, since i set up girder first with all the IR codes i needed - it was pretty easy to setup the girder bridge and have housebot send girder the appropiate eventstring, then girder will send the IR code. both ways work. C...

Is there a place where I can read more about HouseBot and USB-UIRT working together. Is there always Girder involved or in what cases I need to use Girder?

too bad.. how does Girder and HouseBot fit together, or is Girder only supposed to be used if one does not have Pocket PC. I guess I could be able to use keyboard with Girder and USB-UIRT but in that case I would be missing HouseBot support for Meedio and my X10 lights. Maybe I just still need to us...

GetPropertyValue of the value you are setting in the SW Remote Do you mean that I can get value of e.g. property edit control in SW, using script? Something like: If (GetPropertyValue("SomethingHere") = SystemTime.TimeAndDate) Then ...run script What goes in "SomethingHere" and ...

hmmm, what about the software remotes, is there going to be a possibility to send keyboard shortcuts to buttons on remote?

Yello!



Can keyboard be used to control HouseBot configured deviced i.e. without remote. In this way I would be able to control Meedio, Lights, AV-equipment etc.. also using by bluetooth keyboard :) .. which would be nice!

Hi, Should I be able to feed winamp plugin field (Currenty Active Playlist, Playlist1,2,3,4 or some else field) a playlist, SO that plugin reads all the mp3s to its list, so that those are browsable ie. =+1 =-1 And in which format this playlist should be. I have tried .m3u and .pls. Both play as &qu...

Hiphei :) I was able to get it to work by using Property Change button, but still not using HouseBot's tree view (but it does't matter). If I'm playing the folder, prev/next buttons are not working i.e. +=1 (and I think that because it's not a playlist). Is there a workaround? Also if I do a playlis...

Can I do this without manually editing the path. Because now I can't read the path to folder with single click, and if I double click the folder is opened and "play source" property does not change without double clicking. Is there some specific file filter is should use? And also if I man...

The provided sample only plays the selected song. I would like to select the folder and play all the songs in it :)

First determine how you want to control them. IR is almost always an option for projectors and receivers. If the units have an RS232 port and allow you to control it that way, its a better alternative because it's faster and typically 2-way. Ok thanks, I guess IR is always an option and I also gues...

Hello everyone! What would be the best way to get HouseBot to control my external devices? I would like to control my amplifier (Denon), control volume on it etc.. and also would like to use HouseBot to turn on my projector, and all this would happen through my Pocket PC. Is this possible? And any r...

When I select a song, winamp plays only one song This has happened to me as well. After that I need to select a new song. I have used the winamp sample from ScottBot. Can HB winamp plugin be used to select a folder and it would play all songs in that folder? I have also had problems with winamp pla...

Hi, 1) I'm able to launch zoomplayer from housebot using "execute program device", but after that, how do I send commands to zoomplayer using housebot and software remote? 2) I also noticed that now you are about to launch native support between housebot/essentials. What does this mean for...

Hmmm, thanks for an interesting and prompt answer :) I guess this will solve my problem and I also hope that I'm not going to have a lot of things I would like to do the same thing, because in that case the solution would be very interesting Unfortunately, Task conditions can only compare Property v...
