[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 370413, member: 72093"] HomeSeer 2 only I'm afraid Jean-Marc, I started with 1.x ages ago but they stopped support for version 1 over a year ago (and it wasn't massive amounts of money to upgrade). From the path you supplied you're not using HS2. Sorry that IS a problem, can't really write for something I can't test or even get information about any more, really, really sorry about that. I'll have a look around to see if I can find out how to make a plugin for 1.x but I don't even know if it is using VB.NET, VB6 or what? As to the window that opens and closes, yes said in the original message best to run from a command window (for the reason you mentioned) - I've changed this so it does pause after the paths are displayed so the paths can be checked. Really, sincerely sorry about this Jean-Marc. MORE INFO OK, checked the old info on HomeSeer Version 1 and there is no way of making a plugin. It IS possible to make a VB (not .NET but that's not really important) ActiveX program and call HomeSeer but as I don't have HS1 I would >never< get it right just by coding what I >think< is right. Not do I think that a HS VB script would work well - might tie up HS...! So don't really think this is easily possible. However if someone has HS1 and can code a VB ActiveX program then all they have to implement (to talk to the MediaPortal plugin) is a server, listening on port 9472, and respond to messages like <Request Text="lights on" /> - that REALLY is all the HomeSeer plugin does! If there IS someone who can do this (as I say, I don't have HS1) then check out the HSPI_SocketCommand source code in the zip, it is very simple XML string fragments sent back and forth. Means running another program though (which isn't ideal). [/QUOTE]
