HouseBot

Not too surprising, but I needed to ask. Not that it matters, but I'm OK with that.

Just wondering. I have an ipad 3 that is getting long in the tooth, as it no longer can be upgraded to the latest OS. But it is still functional. I can run a remote desktop program like Jump to access a SWremote running on another box or the HBserver. But what is the likelihood of an iPad SWremote i...

After an hour or so of testing/playing, no delays or sluggishness in IR was experienced. This is with the 3.50.02 EXE and one change I made to change a 'System Time' to 'Time-without-seconds' display on one panel of a theme. Hard drive activity is better and HBServer CPU usage is lower. I have one o...

My IR activity relies on the USBUIRT to transmit - flash- to operate the sat box, LED light string, TV, Roku,etc. All output based on tasks triggering typically from HB remote buttons or occasional time of day events. Certainly not frequent. So, like incoronado said, it could be just a victim of CPU...

I'm experiencing the same thing here. The HB server has become a sloth. Most of my issues are also with USBUIRT-related tasks that either don't kick off, kick off after 30-60 seconds or don't complete once they do. Have not experienced other I/O (RS232, Insteon..) issues, or at least have not notice...

yaccri, Good to know, as I am in the very early stage of considering "upgrading" the HB server from WIn7 to Win10. I don't currently have any USB/RS232 converters in use but I am eat up with USB and RS232 serial devices and am about out of both port types. And every time I add a serial dev...

All ok now. No rediscover required. I thank you and Alexa thanks you.

Yes, and I had previously downloaded, installed, and am running 3.45. Looking at my.housebot.com data, its all unrecognized devices, etc. And no, Alexa cannot find any of my devices.

Thanks, that did it.

Response: " Hmmm <device name> is not responding."
All software remote functions work, HB server running, my.housebot.com appears normal and functional. Restarted HB server. Same result.
As Alexa says, "Hmmmm"

Running HB as Admin corrected the import issue.

Thanks. Thought I was running as admin. but maybe not. Will try it...
I can do without, have so far..

Each HB start.
Windows 7 pro.

Tried to load/install this when it first came out, got an error message, and have been skipping the load ever since...until now. Tried again just to see what would happen: Not serious here. been skipping it all this time. But just in case I need to do something here to correct.
