Hi Dave, Yes I would write some code as part of the reason that it has taken time to get this far, is that I had to learn VB 2008 express. By no means an...
Thanks Kevin, I am learning a lot, at the moment still very much a prototype. I will look into the NSLU2. All though at the moment it will run on a Mini ITX...
Did anybody here end up trying out any HouseHeat products (http://www.house-intelligence.co.uk/)? A couple of months back I got a single Thermostat Control and...
Hi, An update to work with the new BBC site. Swap the exe and you're good to go. The only difference is that the forecast is limited to 3 days as that is all...
Interesting Martyn - keep us posted.. I am going to get a couple of HouseHeat parts just to play I think , although at the moment I'm dithering between...
Hi Kevin, Yes, I didn't receive much help from the guys at HouseHeat either when enquiring about a Windows SDK, understandable I guess since they want to sell...
... One of the ideal platforms for this is the OPNMax (the embedded xAP controller based on the Linksys NSLU2 Slug). For £50 you could have a standalone xAP...
Hi Kevin, I'll take a look at OPNMax which does sound like it could be ideal. I run a lot of perl stuff already (on both Windows and Linux) e.g. the asterisk...
Yes - I guess you can to the thermostat - although you couldn't between a thermostat and an actuator or direct to an actuator , as they are receive only. I'm...
Hi All, I am in the process of waiting for a Philips Pronto 980 to arrive and whilst I am waiting I was looking around the find a suitable Infra Red to xAP ...
I'm new here and was wondering about the status of the xAp driver for the Barionet's. I was about to buy one. Or any .bas examples to control all I/O and...
Hi Dave, If I've got the right end of the stick, you want to send IR commands from your new pronto to Homeseer et al? Is that right? If so, you might want to...
Hi Dave I don't think my setup matches what you are trying to do but I use a "usb uirt" IR unit with homeseer. Setup: I use the Pronto RU980 to control lights...
I'm happy to announce the release of our new opnode web site (http://www.opnode.org or http://www.opnode.com). Besides switching to the Google Apps platform,...

Just been in to B&Q (Northampton) to pick up another bit of HomeEasy kit for my setup and seen that they are having a bit of a stock purge on the older Byron...
I guess this is really aimed at Ed as he wrote the existing plugin for Squeezecenter. I am interested if it is possible to send display message commands...
Hi Paul, I'll leave Edward to pickup the main part of the question and whether the display protocol for direct access to the SqueeezeBox players is ...
Kevin's correct. To do this you'd end up re-writing a good chunk of SC. For instance, SC does all the screen rendering, scrolling etc itself and just sends a...
Thanks Ed and kevin for the replies ... <snip> ... The above is exactly the problem that drove me to put SC on the Big Box. I first had SC 6.3 on a QNAP NAS...
why not switch to a low bandwidth version of the web interface like 'handheld' or 'light'? not as pretty but without the tons of javascript the default...
This has already been announced in the opnode forum but, for any xAP user not following our discussions and maybe interested in building an opn-max controller:...
