HouseBot

Sent you a PM but did not hear back --- tell me what features you would like to see. Prelim testing of the DB maintenance program is just about complete and I am in the final revision stage for the actual plugin. The way it is now designed, adding new functionality should not be too difficult but I ...

A long while back I built a plugin for HouseBot that would store and play ripped CD albums that had been stored on disc in a fairly standard organization. Followig that, I wrote another plugin that would allow importing a DVD Profiler export file(XML) and allow you to browse your collection from wit...

These is another solution for media for HouseBot -- coming soon!

Personally I would go with a direct HB connection to the Extron. The fewer points of failure the better. Handling serial in HB looks a bit confusing at first but once you get your head around it, it is quite straight forward.

It would not olnly require unique properties by theme/panel but also unique tasks by theme/panel

The only way I can think of this is to create separate themes for each SWREMOTE. Each SWRemote theme would use properties that are only used by that theme. Aternately you could have a common theme but the first panel would represent a menu that would then diverge into different sets of subsequent pa...

Dakkar What is the distance to your projector --- I successfully run a 50' serial conection by using serial to RJ-45 (std lan connectors) adapters and then connecting them using a 50' lan cable from my Ehome projector to the projector's switcher in my AV rack

I am one of the early and long term users of HouseBot so I guess I am somewhat close to being an expert. Scott - the original builder is the only true 'expert'. There used to be a number of 'regular experts - (experienced users)' here but they have - like me - been spending less and less time on the...

Create propertyvalue effectively creates the property in the list of available properties - ie it appears in Property Manager. Set propertyvalue assigns a property within a device an actual value.

I presume youfr TV remote is infra red. To control lights, you normally use X-10 type switches -- either built in or external. The best thing to do here is to read the help files on X10, CM11a and Powerlinc to understand how X10 is setup, also search the web for references to X10 . AS far as remotes...

Valid values range from 0 to one less than the number of tracks/songs in the playlist. This property can be used to jump directly to a track in a playlist. Changing th...
