HouseBot

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...

Hello, I picked up an Acer Iconia W500 tablet pc off ebay last year, with the plan to mount it into a kitchen cupboard to run a software remote. Over a year later I have finally done it! Picture (running SWRemote) and link to my blog that goes into all the detail if anyone is interested. http://digi...

I wrote a plugin for the LCDSmartie a few years back. But never seemed to get round to sharing it. Anyway here it is if anyone is interested. More information on LCD Smartie can be found here: http://www.lcdsmartie.org The plugin supports the following functions in LCDSmartie: $dll(housebotplugin,1,...

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...

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...

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.

Thanks for looking at the energy panel issue so quickly.

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...

After mentioning on the post above about no android version. I have just seen one was released 5 days ago! Silly me I am ecstatic, thanks Scott. Installing it now! Early xmas present

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...

Bit late but thanks for this. I have finally updated the codeplex page with the new release.

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...

I'm on the android side of the fence! For me, I feel this is the no1 thing missing from hb. Would happily buy it off the market.

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&...

I have created a plugin for EventGhost that will allow you to control HouseBot via the External Control Device. This plugin will allow you to run the following actions: - Set Device Property Value - Set Mode State - Execute Task - Blank Remote Screen - Open Remote Panel - Close Remote Panel - Execut...

Sorry, not got back sooner. Struggling to find time with juggling work and house renovation ! Anyway, my events all include the gd:when endTime="..." startTime="...". So don't have a need to look at the <gd:recurrence> element. Sorry if this was not clear. If I do look in the rec...
