HouseBot

Has anybody used the Phylon 7" + L200 combination already? It looks like the USB port on the L200 can only be used for storage media, but not for the touchscreen control of the Phylon. Also, the L200 does seem to support only 800x600 resolution and not the 800 x 480 native resolution of the Phy...

I am afraid the link is no longer valid.

Does anybody still have these files? I want to start programming my own plugin for a RS-232 device and it would be very helpful to have a look at the one for the Krell first.

Naylia, I would also love to integrate Xlobby with Housebot. At the moment I run both of them in parallel. I have split my touchscreen and have the Housebot software remote on the borders of the screen and Xlobby on the main area (see attached pic). I am controlling several components (e.g. AV contr...

I have Housebot's software remote working on my Acer n311 with Windows Mobile 2005. No problems so far...

Scott, I agree with Naylia, if you can integrate Housebot with Xlobby you would have a winning combination. At the moment I am running Xlobby and Housebot in paralell by splitting the screen of the software remote between Xlobby and Housebot. With Xlobby I control the "Jukebox" while all m...

For lighting control I use Rako Controls from the UK (http://www.rakocontrols.com/). The dimmers work with RF and are easy to retrofit into an existing installation. They offer the RAV232 interface to control the lights via RS232, so it is easy to control them with Housebot using the Generic serial ...

I am using a EPIA PD10000 with Housebot. Basically I needed as many serial ports as possible and the PD series has 4 onboard. I have the board equipped with 512MB of RAM and running Windows 2000. So far it has been very stable, but I must admit that I switch off the server every evening. The only dr...

I still get the following error: Due to an error, Device [Unidisk] Property [Unidisk Album Name] DID NOT change. This happens not only when I try to change the Property Value through the script, but also when I try to change the Value manually (under General Settings). I have tried changing the Valu...

Thank you Scott for the quick reply. I am not very fit in programming, so I don't know how easy it will be to program my own plug-in, but I will definitely look into it. On a similar subject: My SACD player can read the Album title from the disc. I can parse the Album title from the received data pr...

I am currently evaluating Housebot during its trial period, so I apologise in advance, if I am missing the point here. My configuration uses Housebot to control a LINN Unidisk player (SACD/CD and DVD player) through its RS232 link. Sending commands works great, but I want to update Housebot properti...
