HouseBot

Did you get a homeseer branded model? I ordered that model too, and have had problems getting it to work. I eventually had to make a registry change to get things to activate, then I started getting system resets. Here's the regedit: navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Meedio\HouseBot\General Se...

Oh damnit. The first time I read your post I saw "6 or 5e." Not "6 or 6e". I gotta read slower. I don't know what the difference is really. I'd imagine that it is just manufatured to a higher standard. You'd have to dig up some benchmarks to see if it really justifies the cost. I...

If you have a bunch of cat5e already, don't worry about it. If you are buying new cable, and don't have any already, go with cat6. It will work better with a gigabit network. That said, a quick google search: http://www.lanshack.com/cat5e-tutorial.asp yielded a nice comparison, and do's&don'ts f...

That's a pretty nice card. I always hoped I would be able to get multiple zones without having to resort to USB sound cards. Could you layout your system for me? How do you control each zone? How did you patch the audio to each room? What are you using to actually play the audio? I was thinking abou...

Not that big, but when I posted, I missed that you already had a bunch of cat 5 already. Forget I mentioned it.

If you're running it now, run Cat6 instead of Cat5e. It'll be more future-proof.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it tonight. I really appriciate your help.

Hardware interface properties show v2.02.

I'm still having issues getting Housebot to activate the Zwave USB device. I have gotten things so that when housebot starts, it gets no errors. IE: all the things that list at startup get green checks. This didn't always happen. But now, when I setup a new interface, select zwave usb device, don't ...

I haven't had too much time yet to take a closer look at this. I tried the new drivers, and my system no longer crashes with it attached, but I think I need to clean out all the crap drivers I installed, and start anew. When setup correctly, Housebot should communicate directly with the USB zwave co...

Thanks for the link. I seriously scoured google for an hour last night, and the best I could come up with was downloading homeseer (75mb download, yikes, talk about bloatware.) and using their download program to get their drivers. Then I also found the Act-solutions site (which was aweful, check it...

I'm trying to get my homepro zwave usb controller to get started in housebot and am getting an error when I try to enable it. I had a lot of problems finding drivers for it, because I managed to lose the install CD before I even used it, and I can't find a single thing online. So, 1. Does anyone hav...

1. Is it possible to use wireless x-10 switches and dummy x-10 devices to control my z-wave modules? ie: have a switch turn on/off an x-10 device that doesn't exist, and have a task copy that action to a zwave device. With HouseBot, you absolutely can. I have a wireless X10 switch (communicates lik...

Ok, so I was at Radio Shack yesterday, and I saw the Sylvania starter package on clearance for $80, which is $50 less than I've seen it anywhere else online - so I bought two. Anyways, last night I went home and started plugging stuff in and here are my first impressions. Keep in mind this is my fir...

While this probably isn't the best forum - You could create a bunch of stills then make a picture module that would allow the user to select a day and present an image of the schedule for that day. Just setup meedio so that the only menu item is that picture module, and the only items in that librar...
