HS3 Plugin Samples

[vasrc]

Sorry, HS3 is eating away at my brain

I'm assuming you entered in the page name in the URL section (It's homebased to /html already, so just the page name, ie test.html)

You'll get a new button on your header that has the title you gave it. You can access it from there.

I don't think my question is specific to ver 3. Please walk me though creating a simple custom page. I've added simple internal and extern URLs in the Tools->Setup->Custom->Custom Page 1 URL [e.g., test.html] but I don't see a new page. Added the test.html file to the homeseer html folder. How do I add a custom page?

If there is I haven't found it yet
The information you need is in the SDK and samples, there's just no overall design doc that show how it all fits together. I found the HSPI_SAMPLE to be the most useful albeit more than you might use. Another confusing thing for me was how the same process was coded slightly different in each example.

In the end i just slugged my way through it, it's just another language and/or API. If you can write low level drivers you shouldn't have a problem other than a lot more time to fill in the blanks.
Being a Beta doesn't help either as you're never sure if it's your misunderstanding something or just a bug

Have fun

Is there a HOWTO or beginners guide to homeseer plugin/custom web page development? I've reviewed the SDK documentation and it makes assumptions about how to even start. (Yes, I'm a developer but of low level OS/drivers, but not web/java/scripts -- just starting there)

The samples are source code to 3 plugins. If you are not a programmer, I doubt they are of any use.

Nice touch Rich, good to in an open forum that HST is trying to help those developers that are insterested pointing in the right direction.

Is this for developers only? Or this is a "how to" info?

[UPDATED 6/7/2013]

Here are 3 plug-in samples that show the 3 ways to configure a plugin. One is a standard sample, one is a more basic sample that has simple actions/triggers, and the third shows how to create a multi-instance plugin.

That is what I did in the sample, it has an AJAX call that updates a div that is the time and date, so you can see it change in real time.

The plugins I just uploaded are the very latest. I will update the post with a date when I change them.

Could you extend the sample, with an Ajax handler and put in a control that gets dynamically updated let's say every second (ex a counter).
I agree with Mark, please give it a version number, hard to keep track of whether I have the latest.
Thanks

ps. the sample wouldn't run under Studio because it was missing an inherited declaration for the "SpeakIn" method, I fixed that on my setup and now I can debug the sample under 3.0.0.1 (or was it 2?)

Can we have an example for dynamic (AJAX) webpages

please add a version number to the zip file name so we can keep them straight as they change.
