HouseBot

Scott, I tried the file with your * alteration, this has no effect at all, I had already tried this earlier this week but I thought I was adding the value twice, when it is created from the property, it does not show in the generic serial device when you add the property to the definition, but it is...

Yes the case is correct, I am trying the wildcard method so I have deleted all references to BBC, but that has made no difference to the commands being sent, but I have received 3 log events in the device log, When starting housebot I get:- Device HVRS232 does not have a default property, I wll try ...

Yes, all homevision commands are broadcast over the RS232, for instance when homevision sends an x10 command housbot receives displays the code.

Apparently ddf and hbf extensions are not allowed to be uploaded...

Yes it is enabled, it is not enabled in the screenshot to allow me to open the command configuration. So this issue lies with the enabling of the hardware device, I get the same error message whether or not the hardware device is enabled or disabled. Where can I download housebot from around 6-8 mon...

Well it depends where you create the property, if you create it from the property window it is as your list, if however you create it from the generic serial device there is no option for alpha numeric. I misunderstood your post and went into the serial device property. I did already try from the ge...

Richard, did what you suggested but, I have alpha or numeric to choose from not both so selected alpha, I am unable to enter any text in the send data property, I get the asterix as a drop down only?

Changed from All to HV, no change, I have switched on hardware tracing and advanced tracing for the hardware HV there are no events been logged nothing at all, Yes the flow control is correct for homevision.

Don't know what else to try.

OK Thanks, I cleaned out the access database and started fresh, still the same, I have attached some screen dumps is there anything obvious I am missing?

Thanks Richard, Tried com port sniffer it shows that housebot is opening the com port but no commands are being sent from the properties, I have also tried installing on another xp machine which responds exactly the same, are you using the latest housebot 3.30.02, Could this be a bug? If I cant get ...

Thanks Richard, well where should the Send Data properties be I don't have one?. I have a hardware interface which is correctly configured to the spec of the homevision, I have created 2 test commands called BBC1 and BBC2, homevision when it receives BBC1 or BBC2 as ascii sends the required IR codes...

Hi, I am new to housebot and having problems with the generic serial device setup, I have followed the online tutorial to the letter, but I cannot get the serial port to work from housebot. I am trying to use housebot to talk to homevision which in turn will control sky tv via IR. I have used hypert...
