Re: How to delete a Power on/off task in Device setup
Scott, it is an Execute Task device. And Plan B was to create a new Execute Task Device and delete the flawed one. I was just pointing this out in case someone else ran into the same... And to see if I was overlooking something that provided an ‘erase/undo’ action.

How to delete a Power on/off task in Device setup
I just realized that its probably not a good idea to have a task associated with a device that turns it off: Example: a security system. "Alexa turn off the security system" is not a good idea, especially with Alexa functionality now in cars. But I cannot find a way to remove the "Dis...

Re: Win7 - to - Win10 migration
That’s msg was during the installation, not launch. Subsequent HB launches have not yielded that msg. Haven’t pursued it further yet. Still need to do the more important CONFIG work.

Re: Win7 - to - Win10 migration
Two errors w/HB Server install: During the install: "Internal error: expression error 'Runtime error (at 2:261): Failed to register HBControlMod.dll" Then, at initial and subsequent HBServer launch: HBserverStart Error.png :( update: After a PC reboot (for other reasons); HBServer launches...

Win7 - to - Win10 migration
Due to MS withdrawing support for Win7 soon, I am planning on moving all the HB server duties to a new Win10 box. What is the best way to do this: Do a complete new install (i.e. download the latest and essentially start from scratch, albeit copying over the existing CONFIG and other sub directories...

Re: Web Browser: Customize On-The-Fly
Will do. Thx.
CcrpTmr6 supposedly required by the browser “process”. Earlier in this 11 (and ongoing) page thread there are several references by Osler to it as being required and requiring registry registration. I’m just following orders.

Re: Web Browser: Customize On-The-Fly
I'm giving this another shot because I thought of a way to use the browser capability. However, I am getting error messages from regsvr32 when I try to register the HBControlMod. dll and ccrprTmr6.dll. "The module ..... was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070...

Housebot control of RF Remote device
I’m considering replacing a DirecTV DVR with one from Spectrum (Charter). Aside from the whole issue of having only one single HDMI out, the remote, I’m told, uses RF and not IR. I’m currently controlling the DirecTV box (as well as some other stuff) using IR though a USBUIRT. So how to control a RF...

Re: Standalone Automation controller?
Tentatively decided to stay with X10 and put together an Arduino UNO w/external RTC and X10 PSC-05 power line interface, which I already have. The rest is software. Should prove “interesting”, considering my Arduino C++ is rusty, one needs to set the RTC, then get date and time, and account for sunr...

Re: Standalone Automation controller?
Considering X10’s Send-and-pray reliability, 75-80% effective. But its a harsh electrical environment. Swimming pool pump motor, AC compressor and fan. And dealing with wall switches on each power line phase.

Standalone Automation controller?
I have an automation application that controls lighting at a small community center. Currently (no pun intended) its using X10 wall switch modules and a CP290 X10 controller, all ancient. Its been reasonably reliable (its X10 after all) until recently. But now I suspect the CP290 has expired. I'm lo...

Re: Task "Last Executed" property
Thats what I originally assumed: its time-stamped upon being run or called. Odd though, as I have one that is being called by another, that according to its time stamp never gets called. And yet I see no reason in the calling task why it would not execute the called task. Hmmm. Will look at it furth...

Task "Last Executed" property
When is that value updated?
At the completion of the task?
At the beginning of the task?
And if the task has as its first statement an "IF" test and that test fails, is the Last Executed property even "touched"? And if not, should it be?
