Ummm... so far 8 remotes at about 25 codes per remote --- I don't think I want to create that device --- OK now for the hard way, back to the database hacks. I think the ability to export a(group of) remote(s) would be very appropriate, then we can share remotes the way ccf files are shared for Pronto people.
PS I have also been hit with the CCF import problem -- and HouseBot will not learn the remote directly (Voom Remote)

This thread has made me wonder about something. I'm doing all of my development and testing on one PC. When it's all working I intend to move it to my production Housebot server. How will I accomplish this if I can't export the IR codes? I presume that I can just copy the database files and asuuming the configuration is identical on both computers that Housebot will work but I would appreciate confirmation on that before I learn all my IR codes (I have a similar number of remotes and codes that I am planning to learn).

You can either use the Export Configuration option to create a configuration export file that you can then import on the other machine, or just copy the entire database (HBData.mdb) and Themes directory to the other machine (assuming that the setup on both machines is similar).
The configuration export functionality will export the IR codes and Remote Controls records that are used by the Device Properties selected in the export. There just no way to ONLY export the IR codes by themselves.

At work I've been working for the last 18 months with an application that is about as configurable as Housebot (something TOTALLY different though) but the lack of documentation has been a constant annoyance. I have been forced to a model of trial and error to figure things out. Although your documentation might not be enough for a non-engineer type I find that there are enough pointers in there to generally get me going in the right direction. :)
