Basic Home Automation via xAP BSC enabled devices (updated 9-01-2008) (1 Viewer)

[patrick]

wow! A plugin that alow me to use homeseer 1.7 This is great.

Thanks

Pherhaps it could somehow be used to automaticly dim the lights down when opening a movie?
And dim slowly up when it has ended?

Would be neat, but not possible right now

Trying to think of a way to do this, allowing events to kick off Macros...

Thanks for the interest

Updated the first post to v0.1c to include basic support for

xap-temp.notification
(http://www.edjo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edward/xAP/quasar3145.htm)

temp.reading
(http://patrick.lidstone.net/haweb/temperature.htm)

No state/level image support yet, trying to decide how to do this.
Maybe make it available if a Min/Max value range is input manually?

Thanks
patrick

Would it be at all possible to add support for insteon home automation?
The device I have is a usb "human interface device" (http://www.smarthome.com/2414u.html), so it shouldn't be too hard to add support.

Hi Patrick,

If you are looking for ideas for setting lights when movies and similr, check out th MCE replacement plugin. Andy is doing a lot of work on that front and the source should give you a lot of ideas.

I was actually thinking of using that plugin for the home automation and using the MS Blasters to send the IR codes to dim the lights.

People have also set it up so there are buttons on the screen to change Amplifier functions, like turning on the outside speakers via remote control.

Keep up the good work ;-)

Does not look good unless you know of something already out there I could easily
interface with.

Looks like insteon charges $99 for their SDK.
Not sure I could write something (or have time) from the ground up with the SDK anyway since I don't have insteon anything.

Patrick,

I have some 1-wire temp sensors in HS 1.7 connected to a TEMP08 and have them Xap enabled.

I can see them in MP but not the Temp's.

Any thoughts??

Hi Patrick

Looks nice this plugin and thinking of getting some X10 stuff to

Only one question for me it would be really great if this would work on the TV-server.
So that everything keeps running even if you turn of the HTPC.
So that you have a server client setup like the TV server

Anyway Great work and plz keep it up
