HouseBot

Hi Scott, Isn't the CM19A the USB transceiver (the one that sends AND recieves on the USB port)? As far as I know, the CM19A will also control the pan & tilt on the cameras as well. This was one of my feature requests I had put in a few months ago. So is there support for the CM19A now? Or are t...

Hi Scott, First off, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. All the best for you and your family in the new year, and thanks for all the hard work. Sorry it took so long to send the errors, but I realized I wasn't logging, and then before you know it the holiday season was upon us, so I kinda forgot :o...

Hi Scott, I have been running HouseBot 1.61 now for about a week and no crashes :D :D :D Only thing is, I get some errors in the error log, but it doesn't seem to affect the operation of HouseBot or any of its tasks: -MR26A has recieved an invalid unit code(0xb0) etc.. -Error reading COM port .... -...

Hi Scott, I guess I should have started two separate threads since there are really two issues here. So I'd like to clarify. In my response, version 1.52 seems to have resolved the "Create New Device" crash problem, but I am not sure whether it has resolved the random dump problem. If you ...

Hi Scott, I just went ahead and installed 1.52 just to see, and yes it did solve the problem. I created a device successfully without any problems. I will wait for you to release 1.61 next week, unless you think it might be helpful in your development to install the beta now. If not, I will continue...

Hi Scott, It crashes right after I click on Create new Device. Or right click and select Create New Device. It doesn't even go into the device creation window. It just crashes. I am doing nothing to the themes either. I am using the CM11A, and I have not changed the configuration at all for quite so...

Hi Scott, Well I upgraded to v1.60. But now I can't even create a new device !! As soon as I click Create New Device, HouseBot just closes. I tried asigning HouseBotServer.exe to one processor as well, but it still crashes. Here is the dump after trying to create a new device: ====== Begin Dump - Sa...

Hi Scott, I have read the other threads about HouseBot crashes and dumps and I figured they don't really match my problem, so I decided to start a new thread. HouseBot has been dumping on me completely randomly for the past several weeks. Here are the time and dates: HouseBotServer-10-01-2003.DMP 2,...

Hi Scott, here is a very subtle problem I have found :D I have a task that uses the sytem time and sets it equal to the "next sunset date and time". However, the next sunset date and time does not change the next day unless I perform a + or -, for example SUNSET_DATE_AND_TIME + Days=0, Hou...

Hi Scott, just one more question: :D If you look closely at the 'value' that uses "SUNSET_DATE_AND_TIME", you'll notice that it subtracts (note the minus sign) 30 minutes from the current sunset time. It doesn't actually change the sunset time. By the same token, can I use the "+"...

Ah I see. Sorry, I didn't look closely enough at it. I should have seen that :oops: Wow, pretty engeneous. Great job once again Scott. Just love the software. If you ever decide to market it, you can count me in for sure :D It seems to be able to do everything that I have searched for. Thanks again ...

Thanks Scott, it does answer my question. So then by using the "=" in a time conditon, it is only executed once per day. For instance If (system.time=2:00PM)Then execute actionA In the above task, action A gets executed once a day. Is this correct? Also, just to clarify your last paragraph...

Hi Scott, Sorry, I'm not sure I understand it quite yet. Let's assume a hypothetical senerio. Let's say I have a task (we'll keep it simple) that tests for current time as follows: If (system.time>7:00AM) AND (system.time<2:00PM) THEN execute something Else execute something else If indeed the syste...

Hi Scott, I guess you'll be the only one able to answer this question. My question is, how does the "Greater Than" and the "Less Than" logic in a condition work with system time? Is the logic decided based on AM/PM or on 24-hour time format? In either case, how does it work? I ho...

Hi All, I want to use the sunrise/sunset functionality of HouseBot but I'm not sure how it will act. Basically what I want to do is use it in a task. I have "Motion DETECTED" tasks that turn lights and cameras on when motion is detected, records the video, and then shuts them off. What I w...
