Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Nope... Don't see anything wrong with that line. The error is different... "Error parsing element" instead of "Error reading attributes".

I'll take a closer look once baby boy takes his morning nap.

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Maze42,Steve, Both are running into the same issue, and I suspect the right way to fix it is with a call out to Scott for dive into the theme editor code/bug fix. The current windows Remote is a forgiving on the XML theme file, and can tolerate badly formed controls to certain degree. The webRemote ...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Maze42 & Steve... I've added in some more debugging into the webRemote client. Download the file from the original post again and drop the dll into the right folder. (Steve, help file is HB web device help, not web help.) Try your theme with &Debug=true at the end. It will open another windo...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Found the problem. It had to do with the character encoding for your Wingding font. Fixed the problem, but... Wingdings won't be supported. Wingdings is very Windows centric font... Most other OSes will not have wingdings installed. Reading some blogs about it, even firefox on windows will have trou...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Thanks Maze42. Only Firefox is supported for testing right now, so no surprise Chrome throws an error. It would have been nice if it did work though. Once I get over the bug fixes for this release, I'll probably start to look at expanded browser support. Thanks Steve. I suspect that XML is enough to...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Hi Steve, Did it get past the dependencies load page? Do you get your xml when you try &ThemeXML=<theme name> Typically I'm seeing crashes because of bad theme XML processing. Trying to access a node or value that doesn't exist... ie: Bad checking on my part. Edit: I've reproduced your issue. I ...

webRemote/Housebot WebServer - March Release

Hi folks, Here is the latest webremote. If you have previously used the plugin, drop the updated plugin into your devices folder and you should be good to go. If not, follow the instructions at the end of the post. (Please ensure there is only 1 hbwebserver DLL in your plugins folder.) As always, co...

What should a HB mobile app look like?

Hi folks, As I've been churning through my webremote project for over a year now, I've often wondered how useful it would be on mobile devices. I still think the final product should run fairly well on mobile browsers such as Safari or Chrome, and this should make it a quasi-mobile app. That being s...

Re: OT: Different iPad apps vs. HB

Since it doesn't look like there are any experienced users with those apps, I'll give my un-experienced thoughts. For the three apps you have listed, they all seem to be closely paired with a hardware solution from the same vendor. I didn't poke around to find pricing, but I find as soon as you get ...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - January Release

We'll get around to other browser communities.... I'll hunt them down for their feedback. My focus was to learn how to write a webremote in javascript, without having to worry right away about doing browser checks and writing different code for different browsers. It'll come once we get to something...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - January Release

Hi Steve, A couple of things on slowness & refresh... There isn't much in the way of optimization for pulling data and updating the page. In other words, I suspect it could be a lot better. I will need to do a bit of research on how best to do it. And also run some javascript performance tools t...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - January Release

The grey box is actually the default image when you select a dynamic image. What it means when it stays a grey box is that it is never receiving an update (PV for the image path) or the update is wrong. What happens if you just feed "\Common\weather\us_bhm_closeradar_large_usen.jpg" into t...

Re: webRemote/Housebot WebServer - January Release

Hi Mark,
Can you send me the xml snippet for multi-state button or a screenshot of the theme editor property for the multi-state button.
AND
A sample value from the property itself.

I need to understand what your states are defined as, and what the actual properties are.

Thanks
Tim
