Just an eager beaver here... looking forward to some greatness!

I have the X10 commander plugin working with no problems, the only thing missing is the on/off instead of bright/dim and having multiple devices; but from what I have read that is exactly what your next release will take care of.
But on the Cinema Experience script, having it to work with Eventghost, I have spent hours tring to figure this out and I feel no closer to getting it to work than when I started.

Martin75a Wrote:Thx for the information. Is there any chance that you will implement HTTP support to control other devices, not just X10?

Shoop_NL Wrote:Already from release 4 the application is NOT limited to X10 device's
If you use the homeseer option and read the manual, then (almost) all devices as configured in HomeSeer can be controlled.
(Currently the add-on only supports one device, hopefully it will be expanded in the next release, Also in the next release free commands can be defined.)
Correct me if I am wrong but whhat you are requesting is:
- Under an Event the action is defined as a HTML command line
When the event happens then the addon needs to send this HTML Command line.
Yes?
Martin75a Wrote:Yes a HTML command line under event is exactly what I mean. I use http://www.switchking.se/en and a command line would be the easiest way to configure many devices.
Would also be a good thing with a Enable/Disable functionality of the plugin directly under Host.
By the way, really impressive job you did here. Really nice and many thanks. I appreciate it.

I know it would take some doing to re-architect the script but in the long run, it will make supporting & adding new systems 10x easier.
X10-Commander has very little intelligence, it is a UI for one specific back-end. If you want to enable multiple back-ends, and ease of use, I highly suggest you architect this to do so.
With the way you are proposing to do it...
... This command has no way to know what system is on the back-end, thus you can only use 1 back-end system, and it requires the user to remember exactly what A4 is.... this is far from ideal. Often, more than one back-end is used... I will be doing this since different apps/hardware bring different features I need.
If you create the proper architecture to handle multiple systems, the script would use commands that look something like this...
... this translates to 'Turn Kitchen Lights Off, 100%'.
... In the script each device would need to have a unique name (which is a best practice anyway) and thus system would parse the command line and translate/send to the proper back-end system, based on the definition files the user created.

I do not seem to find a good example at http://www.switchking.se/en
Probably would look something like:
this is a http command line from X10-commanderCode:http://192.168.0.10:8086/?x10command=DEVICE~sendplc~"A4 OFF"
is it something like this?
http://servernamn:8800/devices/{id}/turnon
http://servernamn:8800/devices/{id}/turnoff
http://servernamn:8800/devices/{id}/dim/{level}
