Scott:

Is there a way for me to generate an hbx file outside of housebot. I would like to be able to create one dynamically based upon the number of devices my software detects. Possible or no?

It's not impossible, but it may be more of a pain than you want to deal with.

For the most part, it's just a zip file with all of the theme files needed. However, the zip contains a file named ConfigExport.xml that is not documented and contains the guts of the import instructions. If you are familiar at all with Theme XML files, the format will be somewhat familiar, but I wouldn't suggest diving into it unless you've got some time on your hands.

Got it. I have more ideas than time at this point so we'll do it the easy (but cumbersome) way.
