HouseBot

Maybe someone can help me out. I'm trying to display the information of the TV listing device to my iPad via Commandfusion. After writing quite some lines of vbs I noticed that the TV listing device behaved strange. I've added a screenshot of the device. Everything seems fine but the "Listing P...

Hi Kevin, I have managed to get iViewer to talk to Housebot. It was a simple solution (after a loooooooong struggle to find it), just had to end each send message with a "\x0A" Setting up iViewer is a head spinning task (analog join, serial join, pfffffff). Today I read about the xap proto...

Roussell,

do you use Commandfusion with Housebot?
I have tried to setup a page in CF to communicate with Housebot but nothing happens.
I have used the external control device in ascii mode.
Am i going the right direction or do I need to do something else?

Greetings

Finally!!!

I really can't wait to see your creation in action.
Thank you for starting this project.
At last I can use my ipad with housebot, I've already started to create a theme for the ipad and iphone.

Hope to hear more from you soon.

Hi Jacco, i have setup the script in Housebot and made the required device and properties. The timer for the script runs the script every minute. The strange thing is that the distance from me to home is approx. 5000 km.???? To test the the script i have entered the same latitude and longtiude as th...

Hi Terry, how is your progress with the sencha touch framework? This framework is much better than iWebkit but also much more difficult to understand. If you manage to make a page with Sencha I would like to see your sourcecode, I've tried to make something but it is very difficult. Hopefully you ca...

Hi Terry, Using HTML5 to control housebot from iphone/ipad seems a nice approach. Could you share your html code (in addition to screenshots)? Many thanks, Erez In Terry's first post are 2 attachments, this is the html/asp source from the screenshots. Read the pdf file in the iwebkit zip for instal...

Richard, do you still use FS20 modules? I'm looking for the best wireless solution because it is impossible for me to run wires. I have a few "KlikaanKlikuit" modules for the lights and want to buy the rfxcom transmitter to control them. For the heating i thought that I could buy the FS20 ...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to your screens.
I thought that it would be quite simple to make a screen, but for a novice it's a steep learning curve.

Hi terry, sorry for the long time between my replies, i've setting up a webshop for my wife's business (took a f*** long time!) finally I managed to get the IIS working (switched to win XP). Your solution with the HTML5 pages works perfect! Now the challenge of creating pages that have a nice look (...

Terry, thank you very much for posting the samples! While waiting for your sample I found a few other samples in the Housebot folder. It looks quite promising, except the fact that I can't test any of it. It is now 0:25 local time and i want to eject my laptop out of the window. After installing IIS...

Terry,

thank you for your reply.
Good luck with your new job!
I will patiently wait for your coding examples.
I had a look on the iWebkit site and looked quite promising!

Patrick.

Dear Scott and Richard, Thank you for your responses, I have found the problem. My mind was set on creating a list so I created a AlphaList property for the full list value. This is also the problem, when I changed this to a alpha property (Scott, thank you :oops: ) everything works fine. Dumb mista...

I still see blanks, exept when the first value of the list "Woonkamer" is in property 1
Only the first in the alphalist property shows in the label, the rest don't
I have copied the controls to a blank theme but the same happens.

Scott, I tried to restart everything, but nothing helped, it get's even stranger: I will try to explain it, below is a scheme of the list. Start of list: Property 1 -> "ListItem 1 Text", Value "Woonkamer" Property 2 -> "ListItem 2 Text", Value "Gang" Property ...
