Harmony BBSB Component

Yup, don't byte the hand that feeds you 1's and 0's

Morning all

Thanks for the feedback - seems "OK but not ideal" so far. That's pretty much at the top end of what I expected for Beta1

Re: recognizing / taking actions using Raw Device commands (i.e. when you don't have a device defined on the corresponding address) - that shouldn't be too difficult to implement - I'll aim to add it and upload beta 1.1 Friday/over the weekend. In the mean time, you can get away with defining a non-existant device on D04 / whatever - that matches the Remote Control address, and use that as a trigger for "real Device" in Harmony Event.

Thanks,

Rob

on a side not i have inside harmony Domia Lite Controller is they anyway to remove it from the list? i have removed it from add and remove programs

Sorry Paul, the answer is No, not at present. Once a component is registered wit Harmony, it stays there.

I *could* write a tool to do the job, but I'd have to charge for it (not much, enough to cover my time) - don't know if anyone would be willing to pay for that......thoughts? (I'm not employed full time by Domia/BBSB - I earn my wages by taking on projects such as the Harmony-BBSB component / other things - so doing anything that's not on my official todo list, comes out of my own time/pocket - - such as the backup/restore tool that a few of you use).

In the mean time, the only solution is to create a new configuration file / uninstall and reinstall Harmony and all the Components you want to keep. Painfull if you have a large config, but only costs you the time you spend on it :s

HTH,

Rob

sorted it you need the Controller : Harmony program open

all new stuff to me

Paul

Glad it's working. My fault - should have made the instructions clearer - the app/component needs to be running for Harmony - BBSB Comms to take place.

can this be made into a service at some point?

such a child at heart.

Hi Paul,

I originally intend to have it as a service - BUT - with having to "reconnect" the controller after an outage, the little gui app seemed a better solution. You can always drop it in your Windows Startup group and have it auto-start that way

Any good?

thats is great rob. just need to take a UPS home now from the office for the controller.

the computer interface is still working great. just need to get the key fob sorted now.

Paul

Good stuff

Are you getting anywhere with the keyfob issue? As I said, I've tested it and had no problems - I can only guess theat it may be a range / interference issue. would be nice to get to the bottom of it.

Hi rob i have sat next to the unit and the led on the BBSB controller does not even flash.

[Rob Iles]

Just checking - you have other remotes (not keyfobs) that DO work - correct?

thanks
