Yeah, I saw posts regarding your Bottlerocket plugin, but never looked much into it since it required Linux and didn't support Insteon. I guess I'm looking at something fairly similar to what you have, but for Insteon. I came across the "Smart Home Device Manager" which runs on Windows and allows Insteon (and X10 I believe) control via HTTP calls. I'm pretty familiar with making plugins that do HTTP calls (SuperDateTime) so it shouldn't be that hard to make something. I'm not sure how fancy I'm going to go as the stuff gets pretty time consuming. I'm also torn if I should just jump right into 7.0. I haven't upped my home server to 7.0 and that's where I'd like to use everything. [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll have to look at your code and see how easy it'd be to add Insteon stuff or to start from scratch. Given one runs on Linux and one in Windows makes it a bit complicated. Yeah I know "why Windows"... I probably should have gone with Linux, but I don't have to time to rebuild everything and there are probably a bunch of Windows users out there that would benefit from the plugin. > > P.S.

I added the code and just crossed my fingers that I did it right. :) -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35370 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
