Thanks Shoop_NL,

This look great, I use Homeseer and x10 for my home cinema automation, but this addon is ideal when I want to dim the light when playing a movie

Will give it a try

Ok got it sorted, I was trying to change to port in the XBMC addon to the one displayed in x10 Commander ( 6003 ) but seems like it should be ( 8086 ) and disregard what it says in X10 commander

My only problem now is if I am using x10 Commander, I can't use Homeseer, unless I get another cm11, because one port per interface Sad , Is there any way to utilize Homeseer as the server ?


Great Addon

Hi m0v1em4n,

If possible I will try to add Homeseer as an application.
I will let you know within a few day's if it is possible to do.

Shoop,
other apps should be pretty easy to add on, especially if you separate the command functions into sections to be able to support different types of commands: HTTP vs other

Most apps will use HTTP like... Homeseer, mControl, zVirtualScenes, etc

Below is a link to my old XBMC Homeseer Control script. I have not used it in 2 years so I'm not sure if it will works now. But, it will show you the exact commands to control Homeseer (the commands have not changed) and possibly an idea on how to display multiple devices and control them on a single screen in XBMC.

I'd be happy to test your script for you if you pull it together... I still have my Homeseer install I can turn back on.

Livin's HomeControl_1.8 script for Homeseer ... and basic HTTP basic command set info

HTTP command set for zVirtualScenes (free and open source Z-Wave app)
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

HomeSeer is added (via tenHsServer, wich is freely available) in release 3
But I only use X10 commands for now.

Added,
Click downloads to get,
Do not forget to install the tenHsServer for HomeSeer,
Use port 80 for homeseer, if you did not change the default settings of homeseer.
