Does anyone have a general setup guide for the ExternalControl web access plugin?



Thanks in advance...

Checkout the online help for the External Control Device. It has a section for the COM Control Object that describes the setup in some detail. There's also a configuration sample (web_control.hbx) that is included with the plugin that provides sample ASP pages.

Sorry if I sound slow, but where would I find the online help?



I didn't find anything in the "Guides and FAQ" area



Thanks

From the HouseBot main menu, select Help/Plugin Help. Then scroll down to the External Control Device and hit the View Help button.
