Some newbie question about housebot

[nico-36]

Hello all,

I'm come back here, the "hardware" of my HA project is ok, based on an Ocelot secu16 and secu16ir.
My first question, is the housebot plug can read and write ocelot variable. I have already try HB, in 2007, and in my mind, stays a missing functionality. I see a topic about this plugin, and it seems that it is ok now . I can't test it, the license expired ..., and I really need this working, else, HB is not for me.

2°_ Can it send a URL with a variable housebot in URL. Like this:

http://api.nabaztag.com/vl/FR/api.jsp?s ... ts=Outside temperature [_] degree

Where [_] is a HB variable, It would be that my funny rabbit which gives me information (like text to speech function), and control it,
Information about this here:

3°_ There are remotes for Windows and Windows CE… Is there a way to do a "local webremote" , allowing control by broswer of psp or ps3 .

Nico,

Sorry for my bad english

1) Dunno.

2) Yes, with a script device. You could create a device that will automatically send it's device value to a URL with a task and a minimal amount of scripting.

3) Not out-of-the-box, but it could be done.

Can't help you with the trial.

EDIT: I kinda like the rabbit...my kids would love one of those.

Thanks for your answer.

For my first question, I think this is good, I found this topic: viewtopic.php?p=447102#p447102, But a confirmation would have reassured me.
For the trial, this is not really a problem, if the ocelot plugin, can read and write variable, I buy HB. I also have to learn about script, in order to drive my funny rabbit.

The third point, this would be a big improvement for me, But not indispensable...

HouseBot doesn't have any plugins that support this directly. However, you could probably use a Script and an Execute Program device (or just exec from the script) to construct the URL and then call curl.
