Well... I think your mind is probably brighter than the average mind to have figured it outNot sure what that says about my state of mind. But it is what it is.)

Re: Software Remotes are not functioning
Glad you figured it out, since it would have been a challenge to debug remotely.

Re: Apparently Insteon is no more
And at some point I'd like to start switching over to Matter devices, since they seem to be the future if you believe all the hype. I haven't done any research into it to figure out what my controller options are or how to even start writing a HouseBot interface for it.

Re: Apparently Insteon is no more
I just have a couple of old X10 things. One is really far away and would be out of the range for the ZWave controller.
The thing about X10 is... it's cheap, and it works.

Re: Apparently Insteon is no more
Steve,
As far as how HouseBot can control Alex devices, it can't directly. I believe Alexa does have a way to do this from HouseBot, but I remember the API for doing it was going to be a lot of effort to implement. And for me, I just have Alexa control HouseBot (ZWave and a X10).

Re: MQTT support
Try this version and see if it helps.
It will reconnect (might take about 5 or 10 seconds to get fully reconnected). Just copy it over the old MQTT.DLL in your Plugins\Interfaces directory.

Re: Android SWRemote scaling problem
Your findings are correct. Each panel has it's own scale settings. The idea for that was to allow you to scale up a small pop-up or scale down a large panel to make the fit on various android screens easier. However, I do see your point where it would be easier to scan an entire theme at the same sc...

Re: SWRemote for Noob, or Rasbian (Raspberry Pi)
James, I'm not much of an expert on Raspberry's, but unless it can run a Windows emulator, there's little chance that a SWRemote would actually run. My Raspberry Pi can run NodeRed, and with HouseBots new NodeRed integration you could probably put together something. Or if you can find an applicatio...

HBDotNet Devices with HouseBot 3.55

Re: Error start Housebot
The "send()" error is pointing to a network connection issue. These can be caused by a lot of things (timeouts due to network latency or traffic, firewalls, etc.). In that trace, I can see there is a fair amount of network send/receive activity happening pretty quickly. While that's not a ...

Re: Housebot Rendering Mapbox & Video feeds
Tony, I haven't checked out the Kodi update, so hopefully everything still works fine. I think Node-RED is a great addition that can help fill in many areas that HouseBot doesn't directly address. I know people have done some pseudo-mapping in the remotes by using server based scripts and image crea...
