Plugins for X10/misterhouse?

Hey it worked like a charm. I can set an event to trigger my existing Movietime event and it just does it. I get all kinds of errors from hs girder in the HS logs, but it doesn't stop anything from working. I'll have to look at that and see what it might be but it's not a big deal.

Thanks very much for putting this out there. Nice documentation BTW. All plug ins both here and at HS should do as well.

Thanks ... glad to see it worked somewhere else. Errors in the log are troubling (I hate errors), let me know what you find ... actually do not be afraid to share. How did you set your Host IP? As for the docs, thanks lots for the compliment ... dc

I simply setup the ip of the machine that HS and GB-PVR were on, gave it a port number and made sure those agreed in both programs. It worked like a charm.

Looking now but i have a feeling that i setup too much of HS Girder since i'm not really using Girder anywhere. It almost looks like since i did that it's trying to find and send to Girder and of course not finding it.

Just a quick update for you, The homeseer plugin is still working great, no flaws so far that i've found. i edited the skin file to go more along with what i was using but that's minor. I still haven't found the source of the hsgirder errors in my hs log but it's not affecting anything.

Again very nice job, it works well. is a small tie to home automation and my wife can work it, always a plus

thanks again!

Thanks again ... yes, WAF is crucial with all this hobbyware ... esp if the Homeseer/GB-PVR complex is to be jointly funded ...

I upgraded GBPVR last night and found a really cool new feature, I'll try and drop a note when I get home on that ...

[DaveC]

Cool new feature ... try this ... edit your config.xml and change this entry to
<VideoPlugin1>Homeseer</VideoPlugin1> (out of box there's nothing there).

Then play a video off the MVP and hit 1, then Go on the remote (see 93.10 release notes for keyboard) ... this excellent new feature from sub opens a bunch of new possibilities one must consider ... will post something when I figure out how to do it correctly ... dc
