after quite some time of thinking how to connect to other programs like Misterhouse I started to do some real tests on Freevo side. As python and Freevo newcomer I'd be really glad to receive some advice with this simple example:
- One main menu item with five subitems (speak, speak2, ...) - each of them having two possibilities to run.
I'm attaching file since it's quite small...
Regards,
Robert.
