HouseBot

Hi Timoh,

Welcome back from vacation. I too, am glad to know you are getting things back going! Thanks so much for all your work and I totally agree with Steve!

Hi All, Not sure if i am missing something but Osler's Yahoo script still seems to be working for me for weather. here it is: http://www.cebotics.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=856299 Another alternative that works is using the housebot xAP plugin along with xAP Weather. The National Weather Ser...

Hi All, I have been working xAP this weekend and it is pretty neat. Played around with Speech, Weather and News. I do have a question about it though. How do you get HB to actually send a xAP message. I can do it from the device screen by 'clicking' on the grey button...but this does not appear to b...

That is great news Timoh! so glad you are finding the time again and I am very excited to see this develop!

This will be an awesome complement to Housebot!

Hi All, I also use one speech device for all tasks and it works well. Just to add a reminder, You can easily inject status of other variables using tasks to speak the 'state' of something: For example if you want to use TTS to say the last caller you can easily do so by changing the property state '...

This is interesting. I really think the future of Housebot is going to rest on the client and what may materialize there. Currently a windows only client does not offer too much in the way of portability and control especially since Windows Mobile is struggling . I agree that Housebot is very stable...

Glad to hear that too Timoh!
JSON is used by both XBMC and Eventghost both of which i use quite a bit with my House/Media. I have not worked with it much but it seems to be quite popular.

Hi Steve, That would be a convenient feature. Right now for pop ups I use only a task only with the delay action to hold your window open. I also use a timer for some of my pop ups that I have automatically popping up so i can add a "This window will close in: " %%Timer.Remaining Time%% so...

Hi All, I am working on a little project to try to interface HB with XBMC using a python TCP client script. I developed a simple Server script and client script to test it out and I am able to open a socket connection and send data from the client to the server and vice versa. I then redirected the ...

Great that you found that out today. Looking forward continuing to test if and when needed.

Hi Timoh, Great job with all you have done so far! I installed on HB running on Windows 7 x64....no issues. Server started and works with the following results: Firefox on local machine: no issues, xml looks fine.. Firefox on remote machine: no issues, xml looks fine Droid: Samsung Galaxy Tab with D...

Hello, I use GNUPLOT for graphing. I use Autohotkey scripts that I convert to Executable files to parse HB logs and format them for GNUPLOT. As long as you can get your Access data into a data format GNUPLOT can accept you are good to go. GNUPLOT uses instruction/plotting files (plt) to load, plot, ...
