HouseBot tgt w/ RFreceiver&Transmitter

Post by y0ngg »

Sorry, im a newbie in all these.
Is it possible to use HouseBot to communicate with RF receiver & transmitter?
So that i can actually retrieve informations of the electricity power usage used up from RFmeter.
And how do i retrieve those informations at RF receiver & transmitter from RFmeter? (So that i can get those datas from HouseBot if possible)
Helps are greatly appreciated. ;]
Thank you.

You don't need RFreceiver and RFtransmitter. Those programs are for displaying the received data and control the transmitter on a very basic way and for diagnostics only.

To use HouseBot you have to stop those programs because only 1 program can have access to the COM port of the RFXCOM receiver and the COM port of the RFXCOM transmitter. After you can configured the receiver and the transmitter in HouseBot you can create the devices like the RFXMeter whole house power metering device, sensors and remotes in HouseBot.
