HouseBot

It may not be as straightforward as hoped. The system has reverted to using stock Android fonts - regardless of my renaming. Obvious missing something, and will continue my research... ----- UPDATE------ Have decided not to fight the system, so to speak. Will live with Android fonts. Sometimes, life...

Thanks Scott,

Android fonts do certainly appear to be a black-art on further research.

I've proven Android will actually use Eurostile Candy W01, by renaming it to use Roboto-Black.ttf - so, a well used substitution workaround. Messy though!

I've purchased a "trial box" - an Amlogic S905 based "MXQ Pro" 4K Android box. About £24, so nothing to lose.. Good news first - Housebot installs fast and runs well on this device. Impressed. Actions to date No luck on the two fonts I normally use, Segoe UI and Eurostile Candy W...

Have just started on Android remote development, with a good solution in mind - combined passenger housebot display and kodi movie/media player(today using displaylink from the main PC and a separate media Dune player with an HDMI switch box that doesn't always work). Thinking of using a Minix Neo U...

Quick summary, and some progress: Navigator >> Housebot = works (can receive chat messages) Housebot >> Navigator = connection, but no actions Is this about new lines / carriage returns??? Using SocketTest v3 I can see sending Mapfactor chat messages creates a new line after each message sent. I can...

Think this is the issue: 17/March/2016: WWO Free API signup has now been suspended. Therefore we will not be issuing any new Free API keys. The existing Free API keys issued will continue to work and no change is required at user end. Also all existing Free API keys will be allowed 1,000 request per...

Scott, Thanks for your help. I've been looking at the IP Socket Device you sent, and I'm getting similar results to the TCP device from Osler. All this time I've been trying to send a command from Housebot, and although the TCP device is saying the message is sent, I'm not getting the expected respo...

Hi Kevin,

I use the v2 API and worldweatheronline v 1.0.4.0 dll. I use this with the updated HBDotNetBridge and HBDotNet DLLs dated 25/10/13 on my system. All working fine.

Try my v2 key for a test - I've just sent it on a PM.

Cheers,

Tony

I think what you are seeing is the TCP server for the SW Remote. It's listening on 5015 also. Thanks Scott - that certainly solves that question. I have focussed on trying and testing the TCP link using all known tried and tested ports. I've also used "socketTest 3" (TCP client/server tes...

Update on my quest.. TCP Plugin appears to send data, but nothing back on "TCReceivedData". No return on device log. I've discovered this on the Housebot tracelog: (with port 8001 set up in Housebot and Mapfactor Navigator) TCP Server Debug 'Listening' on port 5015 TCP Server Debug IPC Ser...

Having a Menu button is a step forwards, and useful for ad-hoc resets of the theme.

Having an Action for "Reload Theme" which can be incorporated into a task would still be the one...

Hi Richard, Thanks for your post - very much appreciated. I've completely missed the menu button, and whilst it won't work for my resume from sleep reload, it will feature in my "system panel" as a very useful feature - always times when a reload theme fixes a few things... The script is i...

Just checking I'm not missing something. Is there an action for "reload theme" for a local software remote? Reloading the theme fixes an issue I have with my 3-screen setup on resume from sleep. Girder 6 does a set of actions on resume, and currently has to close and then reopen the softwa...

Hi tonyg . Did HTTP command worked ? i tried it but error occured. Reply. Hi Jacob, I'm no expert but will help if I can. What was the error message? As a quick test, you can run a browser session (or Putty telnet) with your IP address and port, and enter ? e.g. http://192.168.1.82:8002/? You shoul...

Away from the question of 127.0.0.1 local-host, I have used the system IP and port 8001 for further testing. First, tested using a telnet session in Putty - all good with response from Mapfactor Navigator. In Housebot: TCConnected=1 TCHostAddress=192.168.1.82 TCHostPort=8001 TCSendData=$last_positio...
