Or indeed anyone



Hello again

I am trying to figure a way to action an ip control. I have showcenter in one of my rooms and this can be controlled via ip with statements such as

//192.168.1.17:2020/ethernet_rc.cgi??%7Fsim_key=KEY_UP



This can be controlled via IE



What is the best way to have a software remote action this? Pref. directly



Thanks in advance

You could create an Execute Program Device and use something like curlto drive showcenter. You would probably need to use a Script Device or maybe a Task to set the appropriate Arguments to the Execute Program device for the different actions.

Excellent!!



Thanks for the heads up on curl.

I have now downloaded and installed( few glitches)



Did not require device just inseretd button with Execute client App and change parameters argument line on each button.



Once again thanks for the prompt and great help.



Now, What else do I want to do?



Does anyone have plug in for wife and kids control?

hmm.. may I ask what software your using for the ip control ? ... im just curious...



regards

Richard

Not quite sure what you meant. Can you be a bit more specific?



The Showcenter is hardware with an open port for control. >Housebot with the curl command line interface/ app. sending commands



PT

aah!... ok I thought it was something like girder or something... an external software which could send keys via ethernet events....



is there such a thing btw?... I dont want to hijack your thread or anything :)
