Re: Weather.com Plug-in
All, Thanks to TonyG's investigation, it come to light that the key has been updated to v2 on the website. This new key uses a new URL and the response XML is different. Because of this I have updated the code to support both v1 and v2 api's. So if you're still using the old api key, there is no nee...

Picture (running SWRemote) and link to my blog that goes into all the detail if anyone is interested. http://digi...

Re: Control HouseBot from EventGhost
Hi Jacco, Yes as Kevin said. The plugin is only one way (EG->HB). But can use the EventGhost.exe commandline via the Execute Program Device, see screenshot. Capture1.PNG Regarding the value, its not a stupid question. You need to pass the payload. It took me a while to get my head round it. But ther...
Re: My Setup
Kevin, Just get more touch screens :D I have just uploaded the dll on to codeplex. Didn't realise I had only shared the source code. Its on the download page now. https://currentcostplugin.codeplex.com As far as instructions. Firstly make sure you backup your housebot database first. Just in case it...
Re: My Setup
Good to know about the website. Will be useful when I create my Android remote. Typical that I am using unsupported fonts! I'll just use some image buttons.ScottBot wrote:Webdings are two that it doesn't support.

Thanks for looking at the energy panel issue so quickly.
Re: My Setup
Thanks Scott. It's down to the software :D You even have a HouseBot screensaver! I'm really pleased with the screensaver, thanks to the system time device it works great as a smart alarm clock on my bedroom usb monitor. I will also use it in the kitchen, once I get the touch screen set-up. Also, not...

My Setup
I have been a housebot user for a long time now, and for years I have been meaning to showcase my set-up. I just never seem to have the time, same could be said about the number of future projects I have planned! In fact this post has taken a number of weeks to complete! It still amazes me that Hous...

Re: Is Housebot dead ??? Last release April 2009
I'm an android too - smart phone. But my household tablet is an iPad. And I can see as much demand for HB if an iPad remote app was offerd as an android app. My primary goal for the iOS support was to stimulate interest in HB. If offering an android app first does that it works for me. Android phon...

Re: Is Housebot dead ??? Last release April 2009

Re: Support for new RFXCOM USB Transceiver
I have started using EventGhost to control my RFXtrx. I have also created a plugin in EventGhost that will allow me to communicate with HouseBot. It's not ideal, as I would rather use the RFXtrx within HouseBot. But it works. More information here http://www.housebot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&...
