HouseBot

I have accent lighting (through an exterior wall plug) and porch light (wall switch) both on Meedio x10. For the porch light, I actually replaced the interior wall switch with a Leviton x10 dimmer. That way it can come on dim and as it gets darker outside, get brighter. It also goes full bright when...

ok thanks! :-D

::bump::

so i've looked everywhere and found a few references to a Housebot weather plugin... but can't find it anywhere. there was mention of it being in an SDK, but there are two Housebot SDKs listed in MAID. why is it not listed on the Housebot plugins page? where is it now and how do I get it? edit:: oh....

I live in Houston, Texas. In the evenings, it gets dark long before the actual sunset. Can I not use the ST.SI value if I want my lights to turn on 30 minutes before sunset? I read in the help files something about TimeAndDate, but I don't understand how to implement it. Trying to input a value of D...

i read about some issues with flashed bulbs burning out the modules, is this still a problem?

the caddx nx-8e panel has an x10 relay and the regular nx-8 has a port to add the x10 module (it costs about 150 bucks)... but from what i've read the panel requires extensive programming to work correctly with x10... and caddx programming documentation is VERY hard to come by. You have to be a lice...

ah... there's the problem. i used "system time.sunset time is equal..." i solved the issue of some x10 devices not working by moving the usb adapter to the HTPC in the living room... where most of the x10 devices are. does anyone have any experience with zwave devices? i've read they are s...

no, the task has executed one time, and only sent two of the four x10 commands. the rest of the time the sunset task doesn't execute at all, and it is enabled.



i'm reading both the error logs and the system logs.

i forgot to add that i'm using a powerlink USB transmitter.

I'm having trouble with housebot sending x10 commands. When I first installed the software, sending x10 commands manually worked for almost all of my lamp modules (minus one from smarthome). When I set up a task to turn on/off multiple lights, ones set with specific off times worked fine, but ones b...

i've done this. it shows a "highlight" around selections, but the MCE remote won't change what is selected.



i think i'm considering building an html page so control can be done directly from inside MCE instead of opening the sofware remote.



has anyone else done this?

I have two PCS. The one in the living room is running MCE 2005 and has a Housebot software remote installed. The Housebot server software is running on another PC upstairs. I've created a theme for the software remote that looks like a part of the MCE interface and integrated the software remote int...
