HouseBot

I have Housebot working great with IR. Now I'm trying to use the generic serial plugins to get a basic serial device working. I have configured a few commands and linked them to buttons on a theme. Everything works but I have found that I can only send *one* command. Right after the command has been...

At work I've been working for the last 18 months with an application that is about as configurable as Housebot (something TOTALLY different though) but the lack of documentation has been a constant annoyance. I have been forced to a model of trial and error to figure things out. Although your docume...

It's the Geode-based WebDT 380 that I mentioned in another post. Fortunately I have the Viewpad also :-) I'm not real strong on C++ (I'm mainly a VB and SQL developer) *but* I do have Visual Studio .NET 2003. As such if I can be of any help in testing on CE.NET I'll be happy to do what I can (you ha...

Excellent - thanks Scott! As a software engineer I feel compelled to congratulate you on the job you've done with Housebot. The architecture is great and the features are very well thought out. Also the depth of the help files is really useful! :)

This thread has made me wonder about something. I'm doing all of my development and testing on one PC. When it's all working I intend to move it to my production Housebot server. How will I accomplish this if I can't export the IR codes? I presume that I can just copy the database files and asuuming...

I'm using an iPaq 2215 and it works great. Although this *is* built on the .NET platform the PPC software remote works just fine with it (presumably because the iPaq is running PPC .NET). I have a larger web tablet that is running plain CE .NET and haven't been able to get any software remote to wor...

Well it took me a while as most of the registry editors I found were specific to Pocket PC which is not what the Viewpad runs (what works is the HPC2000 version which is the same as the version of the SW remote I am using). I did finally find a working editor though from Microsoft as part of the emb...

Hi Scott,



I am using the HPC2000 ARM remote. I'd be happy to look at the registry but I'm not sure how to do this on a CE device. I will search for a CE registry editor this weekend but if you already know where to get one a link would be appreciated.

Hi Scott,



Most of my panels are primary panels but they still move around. It appears to me that you left the option off the menu but also left the code so that movement is enabled rather than locked.

I've noticed that the "Movement Locked" menu option is not there on my PPC2000 software remote (running on a Viewsonic Viewpad 100). Is this an oversight or is this function not possible with CE? I made a remote that was 800x600 so it would fill the entire screen and I find that it's too e...

Thanks for the license info Alan - that's what I wanted to know.

Hi Scott,



Thanks for the info. I found out why none of the programs were working. This tablet uses a National Semiconducter Geode GX1 processor. Would it even be possible for you to build a software remote for this processor or am I just out of luck using it?

I am currently evaluating Housebot and so far I am very impressed with the architecture. I do have a couple of questions though. I have a web tablet that runs Windows CE.NET 4.1 (*not* PocketPC). I've tried every different software remote and my web tablet just keeps complaining that they aren't a v...
