HouseBot

Richard,

Thanks for the info.
About the RFXcom and OS sensors, I am using those but the rain sensor has a resolution of 1mm and my Davis station has a resolution of 0.2 mm. The OS wind sensor gives only a numeric value for the wind direction in the Housebot device.

I am working on this, you can follow my progress in the general forum with subject OS independant, browser client.

Timoh,

What's the status of your project?

I have a file called all-sensors.xml generated by meteohub. I want to display some date of this file on a software remote screen This is a part of the file: <item sensor="wind0" cat="dir" unit="deg">238</item> <item sensor="wind0" cat="dir" unit=&quo...

After some trial and error and reading the help file I noticed the device and property name must be included in quotes ". After changing this the script is running. I'm using the sleep command to run it every minute and it works. Next question, how to start a script automatically when HouseBot ...

OK, Thanks, I'm going to try this, it should be my first script.
Where do I have to save the script, can I edit it with notepad and what must be the extension, I suppose something like script.vbs or so?

Thanks, Henk

As I explained in the start of this post, the only ting I need is a task or script thats subtracts the accumulated rain with the last year's total so I have a indication on my main page what's the total rainfall this year. Other graphics etc will be generated by Meteohub and displayed trough the HB ...

No, the rain gauge is connected to Housebot trough a RFXcom tranceiver unit and the problem is, I don't know how to make a script. The graphics I need I generate with Meteohub, Housebot I use to control the climate in the house but on the main page of the remote I want to see the rain in the actual ...

I hope somebody can help me with a simple calculation, I can't find out how to do it. I want to make a variable which contains the rain of the actual year, my rain gauge (Oregon Scientific PCR800) only gives the total accumulated rain so I have to subtract the total rain with the rain last year to g...

I'm using HouseBot for a half year with a RFXcom tranceiver, works great. With the RFXcom I can receive the data of the Oregon Scientific transmitters but I have also a Davis Vantage Pro weather station with solar and UV sensors connected via the network (WeatherLink IP logger). It should be great i...

OK, thanks. The errors are gone now.

After deleting some devices the error log shows attached messages, somebody an idea how I can remove the errors?

With PV substitutions it works, see attached screenshot.
Every time the state is changing to off the switch counter property is incrementing by 1.

Thanks for the answer, I am going to try this but in my opinion a counter device is a must for a automation program because you want to keep track of devices. I am switching a couple of air dryers on and of based on the humidity and the temperature off the rooms and I want to see how many times the ...

I want to keep track of the state changes of some devices. I created a "null device" with a property "general count" and I wat that this property is incremeted by 1 when the monitored device changes the state, therefore I'm trying to created a task to change the property of gener...

Scott,

The assertion error's are gone now. I've deleted the view with MS Acces and deleted the devices that coused the errors in HouseBot. After that I restarted HouseBot and added the view and devices again, Housebot is running without errors now.
