Scottbot,

Does the Sunrise indicator really mean "sun in sky"?

Or does the indicator get reset some other way?

I need to turn lights on at sunset, can I use Sunrise =0?

I've been messing with this now I have the Firecracker working for on/off, but have a question about what hardware is needed to achieve DIM on X10 modules (since the firecracker says it does not supoort it).

Will the CM11a allow this? if not what do I need?

Thanks

Scottbot,

Thanks for understanding, all running now, just need to get the myHTPC integration working. Will let you know,

Daaaaaa!! I was missing something, I have a firecracker CM17 not a CM11a, anyway I'll retry using the Firecracker interface and let you know.

Sorry Scottbot, for troubling you with my stupidity.

OK, Justr checking I wasn't missing something!

Thanks

Scottbot,

Thanks for the quick response, I will try this over the next few days and see what happens.

ScottBot, The skin will be tricky because myHTPC allows different backgrounds, fonts and colors on all levels by changing them at root. So it would mean a user would have to change his entire skin on each Panel, including fonts etc individually if he ever change his myHTPC settings. (Does that make ...

ScotBot, Are you familiar with http://www.myHTPC.net ? It appears to me that you and Pablo could gain from each others products and produce a MS Mediacenter killer! There's a bit of overlap, but mainly your products compliment each other wonderfully. Just need a myHTPC skin for Housebot and I'd be h...

DynamoBen,

Nice to find a fellow myHTPC user!

I'm new to Housebot, any suggestions on integration of the 2 products?

Cheers
