HouseBot

thanks man, i'll definitely try it out when i get home tonight. Now the only thing missing would be a way to control Essentials through a PDA and the whole package could be complete.

that would be awesome....is it hard to do?

that's the problem, i'm so not familiar with photoshop, i've done basic stuff on it. Is there a tutorial anywhere?

So i managed to create a software remote on my PDA using the standard theme buttons. Now I went to remotecentral and found a ton of cool graphics and buttons that can be exported to png files. The problem is that if I use one of the images as a button in Meedio, only the left side of the button show...

cool, thanks bud, i'll try that right now

I just got a Dell Axim X3i to use as a wireless remote for all my stuff and Housebot. How can I add a software remote to HB that will create a PPC client in addition to my x86 client already installed? I go to the clients directory and all I have is the x86 one, how do I get a PPC one to be created?...

switzch, actually was trying to create a button that repeats 10 times but can't figure out how to do it. Do I need to use a task or something to create something like that?

i just noticed the maestro is a ppc as well. hmmm, tablet would be the coolest if they can be had for cheap, but don't think that's possible. And yes, the ppc would only be used as a remote basically.

I agree, thing is that the Dell Axim x30 can be had on ebay for sub $300 bucks. I can't seem to find a tablet pc that doesn't require a stylus for less than that. Does the Maestro allow you to use fingers? I think using the stylus kind of defeats the purpose.

Cool, thanks for the quick response. That would be a nice little feature. And on the side note then, what are the good airpanels or tablet pc's to use with HB and software remotes? Or do you recommend a cheap PPC such as the Axim x30 or X3i?

I keep asking a lot of quesitons but I really like this program and want to get it to work so..... Is there a way to assign a certain keyboard key to a button in my software remote? Right now I have the remote running on a wireless laptop that does not have a touchscreen, so I have to use the mouse ...

so how do you get it to increase volume by only +10 for example? Is it a certain number of repeats?

i suspect this might not be possible. But is there a way to get one of my devices, which I control through IR, to tell me if it's on or not? For example, i'd love to have my software remote have an indicator light that shows the Cable box is actually on. The light would then turn off if the box is o...

looks really good. I would love to be able to borrown those PNGs in the middle, they would definitely boost my theme. Question about the volume buttons, are those numeric values you send to your system or is it just an estimate? I'm wondering because my receiver won't let me send it discrete volume ...

so let me get this straight....you set your "every" button to 500ms, but what did you set the other "button held for" value to?
