• Added Google Assistant support for Blinds/Curtains.
• Fix to sleep timer to persist remaining time between HouseBot restarts.
• Doubled the size of the ZWave hardware interface receive buffer.

Martijn,

Richard hit on the problem. I never released the version with that support, although I updated the web help.

I just released an update with the support you are looking for. Sorry about that.

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of Windows Server 2008 to test with. I would first try and install HouseBot with the bare minimum of plugins. If that still fails, try running Dependency Walker . It can be a challenge to filter out the true problems from the output. Definitely ignore any dll loadi...

Depending on the environment and number of switches, Z-Wave might work. However, it may not meet your economical criteria, since you would need to replace the X-10 devices.

Does it show the loading splash screen at all? If so, how far does it get?

Are you doing this with an older HouseBot configuration directory/file, or is this on a clean configuration?

Other than controls and fonts not looking exactly as they do on the server theme designer, there really should be any difference between using an Android remove vs. a Windows Remote. Every configuration is different, so if you have screen shots that show the issues or describe in detail how to repro...

The android themes do not display exactly as in the theme editor like the windows remotes do. This is mainly due to the differences in fonts between android and windows.

What type of problems are you seeing?

Version 3.52.01 fixes a serious build related issue. If you downloaded 3.52, please install this patch.

Version 3.52 is a minor update with two additions and some minor bug fixes.

• Added Activation and Deactivation Tasks to Mode setup.
• Added JScript as a language option for the Script Device and all HouseBot scripting.

So is it node.js (runs a webserver) that you want, or just javascript?

So are you guys looking to be able to write nodeJS code (instead of VB code) for the script device/task, or is the need to be able to call into HouseBot (maybe through the external control device) through a nodejs module (housebot API) from an externally running nodejs?

I haven't looked into it. I suppose if it had a good API and library to make it easy to add, I could consider it.

I can't think of any way, unless there is a way to have the receiver interpret the data as a hex string instead of an integer. I could probably add some kind of escape sequence to tell the device to convert a hex byte to integer. If you can't find a way around it, let me know and I can look into that.

Version 3.51 has been released with the following changes. New: System Time property for 'Time and Date without Seconds'. New: Trace Device. This device will reflect the last trace message information. Fixed theme issue of duplicating control IDs when buttons were duplicated. Fixed Task UI issue wit...

The latest version has an 'MQTT support' setup option (not installed by default). This will give you an MQTT device that allows simple publish and subscribe functionality. You need to handle all the specific logic in a task or script.
