eHome Digial Tools

OK... Lets move the screen designer stuff over here. There other thread is getting long...

I'm in.

You up for some Insteon test code? I have X10 stuff here so I can test fairly well but there is NO 220v Insteon. It is 97% the same as X10 but I need to get the main command right.

I am, this weekend is a little tight, but I'm sure I can get some late night testing in.

Its will be quick. Not the full eHome product just a small test app that I am building as I type this. Should be 5 or 10 minutes. Thats it. But hey, if you get time...

That kind of time I can give you right NOW.

LOL

I had a beer with my name on it but it can wait...

deckardt...
Thanks for all the pre-beta help today!!!

My pleasure, looking forward to more...

Update... having problems with Insteon devices. i cannot do a proper test here in Europe as there are no 220v Insteon devices.

deckhardt did some testing for me but that did not work, (thanks)
I did post to the Powerhome forum last night so i hope to get some help from there.

While waiting I added some new functions the the buttons - besides assigning macro, X10 or insteon to a button you can now assign some eHome functions. They are...

Next HA screen
Prev HA screen
Popup HA screen menu
Goto a specified HA screen

It is coming!!!

Well, just added support for PH Global VARS. So you can assign a PH global VAR to an eHome label and when it changes eHome changes too...

3:05am... aaaahhhh crap.

Let me know if you need someone else to test Insteon (or whatever).

3:45am

Well everybody thank deckhardt. he sort of loaned me complete computer setup with powerhome, insteon and ehome all setup to test. Just had to do it from like 8000 miles away. But it WORKED!!! Insteon, X10, Global VARS and macros are WORKING! Woot!!!

I even installed the screen designer and created few screens and I am sure drove him nuts by turning on and off his lights in his house! hehehe

We are just a few days from releasing.

Only thing I have left is trying to find a way to get the global vars on startup. I have not got a reply from PH forum if this is a feature or not. I guess... hhhmmm You could write a macro, loop through the global vars and reset them to the same values. That would fire the triggers and eHome would get updated. Tony... ohhh PH macro guru, does this sound right? feeling board? LOL board... ???

Also IR will not make this release as my USBUrt has not arrived (stupid mail) yet but WILL be in the next as I really need this functionality.

OK... I am going to sleep!!!!

Thanks Tony.
I will let you know when the beta kit is ready for download. Any and all testing would be good. I think the Insteon stuff is done but would love another look at it.

Sleep...

Yup, updating the Globals would fire the triggers. You would, however, need some fancy SQL for that. You know, I think I already did this...

Here is part of a PSP page with SQL to loop through the Globals and just display them...

<table>
<% ph_rtne( ph_sqlselect( 1, "select id, value from global_variables order by 1")) %>
<% ph_rtne( ph_forloopwinc( "ph_concatvar( 1, 2, '<tr><td>' + ph_getdata( 1, ph_getvar_n( 1, 1),1) + '</td><td>' + ph_getdata( 1, ph_getvar_n( 1, 1), 2) + '</td></tr>~r~n')", 1, [SQLROWS1], 1, 1) + ph_sqldestroy( 1)) %>
<% ph_getvar_s(1, 2)%>
</table>

Maybe a nudge for ya?
