The post I found RE the DLL suggested installing the 2013.

I checked my production system and it was on 2010.
I just installed the 2013 packages and the wrapper is working! YAY!

I hope this helps!

Update.... My Test laptop which is working has the MSCR120.dll and my production laptop (Main HA system) does not. Some looking on the web indicates that I need to install the Visual C++ Runtime. Is this the right solution? I don't want to break anything on my Production machine by doing this. Any g...

Hi Steve, I am working on getting the C# wrapper working. I have it working on one laptop (my test laptop) but it is not working on my 'production' laptop. Interestingly, I get the same error as you are gettting on my 'production laptop' right now: I ran the DLL walker program that Scott linked abov...

Hi Allan, So I FINALLY got around to working on the C# plugin stuff and am testing the weather app. I know I have the wrapper working and the 1.0.4 DLL. I am getting a 403 error with the new API key (just signed up yesterday). 'The Remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden. Anyone having luck ...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well! I pulled the string and should have my echo arriving soon. I wanted to report out that the java program that functions as a HUE bridge emulator (previously described by Steve) has an updated version (2.1) that is quite decent for registering and saving devices. Steve...

Hi Guys, Would Osler's TCP Client plugin work? I have actually used it before and it works well. Osler had the source code posted here too. I actually did a recompile on it to tweak it for a robot application I was working on. It might serve as a starting point for development. Best of luck on devel...

Hey Steve, Why would you not go with an inexpensive Android tablet and use Scott's Android remote? It works great from what I have worked with so far! I am running the SW remote for Android on my phone (Galaxy 5S) and it is working very well. I don't know if all the features of the remote are suppor...

Very excited about a plugin for KODI I have been using XBMC (now Kodi) for a very long time. My older HTPC would switch between a HB remote (FULL Screen) and XBMC (FULL Screen) using Eventghost to glue them together. HB would call a macro and I wrote simple python scripts for XBMC. I have used the E...

Hi Jacco, I don't think this pulgin does that. I use Evenghost and Housebot alot. The easiest way to communicate HB to EG is to create a Execute Program Device in Housebot and use the -e switch. Example: Create an event in Eventghost to reboot the computer called Reboot Create a Housebot Execute Pro...

Hi Al, Thanks very much for the quick reply and thanks for uploading the dll ! Because of the HB update I have decided to migrate my older system from XP to Windows7 so I am in the middle of that. I look forward to getting the envi 128 working and looking more into Media Portal. On a side note for a...

AL, Amazing setup you have! Very well done! You must be as excited as I am with the Android Remote. I can't wait to retire my USB touchscreens (or get more new touchscreens which is what I will probably do!). I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. I had no idea you built a plugin for the ...

Hey Guys, I know Housebot is alive out there! I finally finished up 22+ years as a C4ISR Engineer in the Coast Guard. I have some down time, so I thought I would make another video of my system EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering and Automation Resource)....showcasing my newest Lillyput 10 inch touchsc...

Hi folks, Good news! I got the fanlincs integrated with Housebot! I am using Houselinc (free from Smarthome) now for setting up and configuring my Insteon network (works well). Since I was not able to set a Group to a dim level in Housebot, I instead created individual scenes on the Fanlincs, one fo...

Hi All, I am working with the Insteon Fanlic. This is a single Insteon device (one address) that controls both a light and the fan motor. So far I am liking it and it works well with a keypadlinc. For the fanlinc the light is on group 1 and the fan control is on group 2. I have used the 'Insteon Sin...
