Re: Start up error that is not valid.

As far as I can tell they are not referenced anywhere.
This appears to be some residual reference that I can no longer see. It that possible?

Re: Task 30 minutes before sunset doesn't run

Thanks, its working now.

The original post where I saw this mentioned that using a condition with seconds causes a lot of overhead checking. Do I need to be concerned? The machine I'm using is not very strong. Single processor AMD @ 995Mhz.

Task 30 minutes before sunset doesn't run

SUNSET_DATE_AND_TIME - Days=0, Hours=00, Minutes=30, Seconds=00 This evaluates to something that looks like this: If ('System Time.Time Without Seco...

Re: Easiest way to send mail

Looks like there is a newer version of this software called OSSMTP_Plus that handles SSL, attachments, and some other stuff. I have not had any luck with the SSL stuff using my normal gmail accounts or the yahoo plus accounts that need SSL. I did get it to work with the old yahoo smtp servers on por...

Easiest way to send mail

What is the easiest and best mail service to use with the SMTP device. I notice it has no way to change ports, use SSL, etc. so I don't imagine it works with very many services. What are folks using?
Thanks, Jay

Start up error that is not valid.

I'm getting the following error during start-up. Unable to find stock device with name [Weather] and description [Weather]. Make sure plug-in is installed. I was using this plug-in on a different computer and this began after I imported some devices from it. I then removed all items related to the W...

Re: Passing arguments to VB scripts

More specifically, I have a bunch of x10 door sensors. Some of them have a lot of logic associated with them and using a single VB script for all door logic simplifies things. I would like to tell the VB script which door caused it to be invoked. I know I can set a property before invoking the scrip...

Re: Passing arguments to VB scripts

Owlet, Been away and just getting back to this. Using Get and Set on device properties is not really passing an argument. Its just manipulating information directly in the devices. I could invent a property where I save the data that I wish the vbscript to see, but that is more overhead and not real...

Passing arguments to VB scripts

Just getting started with housebot scripts and after searching help and here I don't see anything about how to pass arguments to a VB script when using the "Run Script" command in a task. How is this handled? Also is it possible to access a specific function directly that has been defined ...

Re: Sunrise and sunset times have wrong am/pm

Yes that was it thanks. FYI, I spent all weekend searching for a replacment to my Powerhome system which is too much work to maintain and it looks like Housebot will get the nod. It was fastest to get some of my automation working and it looks to be the best balance of easy to use and having enough ...

Sunrise and sunset times have wrong am/pm

Just installed HouseBot, set my latitude and longitude. The sunrise and sunset times are correct except am and pm are backwards. Current time is 1/3/2010 5:33:00 pm My latitude is 42 N, longitude 88 W. Sunrise says 1/2/2010 7:36:00 pm -- This time is right, but should be 1/3 and am. Sunset says 1/3/...
