HouseBot

Hi Tim, I had some trouble to get it started either. I could make the webdevice. Trying to set a username and password in the device's property sheet housebot chrashes even with the original database file used. Afterwards I modified the database manually (Office's Access) setting the username and pa...

Hi Tim,
do share your intermediate results as well?

Hi,
increasing the background image I had success. The selection bar image I left original sized of course. Thanks for the help.

Hi Scott, attached is a screen shot with the list marked red, where you see the top line with same color like the panel's background. The lines below have the same color like the first one. Also the PNG file is attached. It's called transparentbackground.png. Both of the images are in the zip-file t...

Hi all, Hi Scott, If I create a list control and choose "Image Contructed List" and!! take a PNG file which is nothing but transparent then the result looks like this: The 1st line seems to be really transparent meaning the background of the panel is visible, That's as expected. The 2nd li...

I want to have selected a certain entry in a list property. This should be displayed at any soft-remote.
I know I can do that by clicking on that entry. Is it possible to do so by any server call in software? Or maybe by a task?

Hi Scott, probably an easy question for you. How can I change a property's value inside of my own DLL without!!! triggering the DeviceRun function. Normally, so my understanding, I have to call the ChangeRequest function. That is what I'm doing all the time and what works well. But this will cause a...

The remote has the capability to display changing images from the server. It does refresh the image even when the image path gets updated. A good feature may be if the image refreshes periodically or when the image itself changes. I use it for dispaying webcam png-files. They do not change their fil...

I could imagine the following scenario: the server releases the database at a particular time, at night may be. It comprimates the database and attaches it again. I think this can be acceptable as a compromise. The server is down for just a couple of seconds for database maintenance. So you don't ne...

Hi Scott, Is it true that the association of property values to IR codes is only applicable for sendig IR's? I first expected that if a code is received and finds an associated property value the regarding property is set to that value then. That seems to be not correct. At least it does not work. I...

I've tried to make a IR interface talking with WinLIRC. That works so far. WinLIRC cannot deal with pronto codes. That's way I cannot use the complete workflow with Housebot's remote controls. Thanks for posting the infos :D By the way,I still have a question. Where does the IR code number shown in ...

Hi Scot after updating to 3.30 I get something strange. Some of the panels show ... look to the attached image.

Thanks peter

Hi Scott, Thanks for that. I'm using another way: the task calls a little remote executable which sends a windows message ( the is one specific for this). Just... I didn't see the reason why this is not implemented. I have a wall mounted screen with a remote software on it. For saving the lamp, I tu...

Hi Scott,
there is an action item for blanking the screen on a remote using tasks.
What I'm missing is a function to turn the screen on again remotely.

It shouldn't be a big deal to add that.

So long peter

Oh no, I ment the the long/lat values. Additionally to close the blinds at night, I want to close them at hot days when the sun comes around of my house. So I need to know where the sun is actually. That is my device calculating based on the long/lat naturally. Probably I will find them in the regis...
