HouseBot

It is probably in a different electrical circuit so you will probably need an x10 bridge to pass the signal from one line to the other.

For the first request you can do it in a multiple ways but basically in all of them the remote control will update a device parameter in Housebot and with this change you will set a condition to run the scene task. 1. If you want to use an IR remote you will need something like USB UIRT to detect th...

In my case I have been using Insteon for 3-4 years. Before insteon I used X-10 but qiuckly changed to insteon because I needed 2-way communication. Since I bought most of my insteon devices (~35) when insteon was starting I got most of them for $20. Now they are more expensive but still less than Z-...

I bought two new insteon switches for my home and when I installed them I began having problems with the insteon PLM hardware interface. After sending a command I start receving a lot of "Unrecognized inteon character ..." errors and I keep getting them for like a minute. At the end of the...

You read right. There is no UPB support in HB. (Insteon, X10, Z-wave are supported)

Now is working fine although I am still having issues getting the album art and queue size. I included in the script a workaround for them. For the album art I included some logic to look for the album art in the server HD (the files used when browsing the library) and it works OK. After some troubl...

Actually the server doesn't have any virus protection. I ran the script only for the one wired and I am still seeing the issues. It is interesting that if I hit one of the browser selections like "browse by artist" it takes from 1 to 5 mins an then change the list to the artists. The same ...

I have restarted several times de server. Also I disabled the firewall as well. I will try to install HB in another computer and test it from there to see if the issue is with the server.

Basically I am not able to control them from HB. For example, if I try to browse the Music library it doesn't get updated in HB. The interesting thing is that the transport state gets updated in HB if I change it using the sonos controller. If I hit mute from HB it changes in HB and after 10 secs it...

Osler, I just updated the software on the Sonos Controllers and after this last update I have started to have problems with the script and its communication with them. Right now I am getting the status from each controller but it is not accepting the commands sent from the script. Have you had any p...

I think that you have at least three options: 1. Configure an ir device command for each channel using the All Numeric option (refer to ir device help file) 2. Create a task for each channel sending the individual commands and then use a button to trigger the task instead of changing a property. 3. ...

Probably I am wrong but I think that with the new version of the swremote you actually have to install it in the pc (run swremote_setup.exe) to be able to run the swremote.exe. I am not sure you can run the .exe file directly from the USB stick if you don't run the setup file first. It should be inc...

Since it looks that is a dry contact you can use different technologies to track the status in Housebot. You can probably use insteon low voltage input/output device. I haven't use them for input but I imagine it can be set up as a on/off switch in HB. The other method, that I actually use, is throu...

Osler, have you seen something like the problem I mention above? I went back to the .wsc that came with script version 2.04a and the problem is gone. When I switch back to the version that came with script 2.05 or 2.1 I start to have the high CPU in the Services.exe process after several hours. Ever...

I don't know why but now after several hours my Services.exe process goes to over 35% cpu and stays there. I have to restart the server to solve it every time. Have you seen this behavior?
