HouseBot

I received my two new products today, hooked them up, and voila! Almost everything works perfect. The only problem that I'm still having is that the lights in the bedroom don't respond very often. I've isolated it to a computer in that room "eating" the signal. I've ordered two noise filte...

Thanks for the reply Eric. I was unaware that “Bright;31” sent out 31 different commands. I had just assumed that it was one command. It usually takes about one second for the light to go from "off" to full bright when I send “Bright;31”, so it seems to be sending the commands pretty quick...

On your recommendation, I ordered both a W800RF32 and a PowerLink USB device. They'll both be here in a few days.



Do I need any Plugins to make those devices work with Housebot?

Another thorough answer to all of my questions. I've been reading through these forums a LOT and I can't get over how many questions you personally respond to. And a lot of them are redundant (I should point a finger at myself for this too). I hope all your hard work and attention to your product’s ...

To begin, I’m at work right now, so please excuse any terminology mess-ups I make. I’m not sitting in front of my automation computer. --Some Background Info About The Problem/Question-- For my setup I have 10 different motion detectors positioned throughout the house. Any individual motion detector...

Thanks again Scott. I've gotten around the delay problem by "buffering" around the current room where you are in the house. Instead of having the Living room motion sensor just turn on the Living room lights, now it turns on the Living Room lights, Dining room lights, and Stairway lights. ...

Thanks kbosscawen for the reply. I don't have a X-10 controller to test bypassing Housebot with, but I can say that the delay is not with the motion detectors. If I click the lights on or off within Housebot (removing the motion sensors from the equation) it still takes a long time to turn on. Norma...

I'm new to this, and I got a reply from the creator himself. Crazy. Thanks Scott. I'm off to google about VB Scripts. On a side note. It seems like there is about a 3 second delay for things to happen. Is that type of a delay native to X10, is it my X10 hardware, or is it something I can change in t...

Quick question: I have Housebot set up running all the lights in my house using MS13(14)A's, WS467's, WS4777's, WS13A's, XPSS's, PAT01's, and a CM11a. I'm very happy with the setup, but there's one thing I can't seem to figure out. Currently when I walk into a room the lights turn on and then when I...
