HouseBot

Hi Dave I got now the devices and I'm still somehow struggeling with the basics. I got the latest Z-Wave plugins from Scott and installed them. As general question is Housebot supporting Scenes of Z-Wave and how? As first I have the following equipment here: Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5 controller Nodon Z-W...

Hi I'm from Switzerland and I'm currently using an installation with a lot of X-10 devices, but unfortunately the communication is not always as reliable as expected and the devices are not available anymore so I'm currently checking to switch to Z-Wave. Does anybody use a z-wave installation with H...

Hi All
What is needed to install HB_Control.exe on a second PC? If I copy just the executable and try to execute it I get an error which tells me that the program is not executable.
Do I need to make a complete Housebot Installation just to use HB_Control.exe?

Best regards

Hi there

This behaviour is well known to me. But I have a certain time during the night where my computer is turned off. After the reboot and the start of housebot, it would be good if I could send a status request, to get the correct state of the device in housebot. If the state was changed during the power...

How can I change the state of the sleep timer device to running on startup of housebot? I tried to use the initial value of the property running, but this is switched back to "no" after the timeout. Or is there another possibility to start a task once, when housebot is started? Thanks -Ali...

How can I use the direct x10 command "Status Request" within housebot?

Does it update the properties of the device with their current state of the device?

Which devices are supporting this feature?



Thanks

I'm using a CM12CH, the Swiss version of the CM11A. I have also the problem here that it takes about 4 seconds to get a command executed. Pressing the switch -> CM12CH -> executing task in housebot -> CM12CH ->turning lamp on This is just too slow! I cleared the memory of the CM12CH, but it doesn't ...

Hi everybody!



Is there a device available to read data from a file and make the values available in Housebot?



E.g. I have a weather application which writes it's data to a csv file. I want to use these values in Housebot to control the heating via X10.



Thanks -Alibaba-
