Instead of XML, you might want to look into JSON. It is sort of XML like, but not as 'bloated'. According to our web developer at work, it mixes nicely with the JavaScript for their websites.

Wow! Great looking interface.

Or it would be good if Scott was releasing a Software Remote that can run on Linux..

We can dream....

I had already tried just plain copying the stuff over in the Themes folder without that working. Not wanting to be beat by this and with the words of encouragement from Scott, I thought I would try again. I had a thought that the 'link' between the xml file in the folder was missing from the HB data...

I upgraded from the Meedio version to the CeBotics version awhile go. If I remember correctly things did not come over cleanly, if at all. Its has been so long the details are fuzzy. Anyways. I noticed under the old Meedio install folder structure there are some Themes I was playing with that I woul...

The web-based app could be pretty nice with the html5 tricks that are available these days. That would require a web-server on HB too though of course. I second this option. This is what Google is doing to get gVoice on the iPhone when Apple denied their app. It makes a lot more sense. Going this d...

Did you put the "longitude 88 W" in as -88? Western needs to be entered as a negative number. I screwed that up the first time I used HB and it caused my times to be off until I fixed it.

'local control' were the keywords I was missing. I found lots of information with some suggestions on how to solve this 'problem'. I took a module and clipped a wire like in one suggestion. Guess what the LED bulb still glows. There appears to be no real solution for this. This is just crappy. I kin...

I started down the path of switching out the old lightbulbs to the newer LED ones. To see how it goes, I started with some night lights. These night lights are controlled with x10 Lamp modules. They were working fine with the normal 4 and 7 watt bulbs. Imagine my surprise when I go to turn off the n...

Came across this tablet and thought I would pass on the info. For only $59.99(bad s/h=$20), looks like a real good deal. BUT, I am not sure the software will run on it. Can someone say if it will or will not work?

First The small print: Your mileage may vary. Not responsible for any problems caused by software. Use at your own risk. :^) MDB Viewer Plus Came across this when looking into something else on the site. It allows you to view and edit Windows Access MDB files. This way you don't have to install Acce...

How about one of these? Seller has a few of them for what looks like a good price.

Pick me! Pick me! :D I use SageTv and love it. I started trying some integration things between SageTv & HouseBot a while back in the Meedio days, but never really got anywhere. For SageTv hardware, I have the MediaMvp, HD100, & HD200. I have nielm's webserver up and running. I also have Sag...

OMG! I was just looking for the same thing and was thinking where is that darn homepage!!!

Hey Eric, If you need a tester or ideas, let me know. I too use SageTv and HB. I have not used SageTv Studio though. I was thinking of going down the path of creating a 'super' remote in HB that controlled SageTV. I had this working to a point a year or so ago, but got busy with other things with a ...
