    Where to start?

    I want to be able to script and make plugins for future, but i dont know where to start as i dont know much at all.
    Only coding iv done is LUA with Fibaro, but that was very basic.

    So where do i start here? What should i read? Is there books? Online courses?

          That looks like a start at least, thank you. But where can i find some very basic scripts to look at? When i tried LUA on Fibaro i mostly learned by looking at other codes etc.

            Lots of examples here: http://board.homeseer.com/forumdisplay.php?f=632. What are you thinking of scripting? I can point you to some more specific examples that are in line with what you are trying to do.

            Cheers

              Do you have a particular situation in mind for what you want to script for? Just trying to do something probably is not that helpful because of the limitless possibilities of what you can ultimately do. If you have an idea then break it down into pieces (say you need to read from a database and then update some devices, do them both separate to start) and you might find that there are already vb.net solutions out there you can modify to work in HS or someone on here has come across that situation before and posted.

              Even though I have not been around here anywhere near as long as some there does appear that there is perhaps less scripts being posted now than in 2007 (and I started browsing the board before that), I don't know if that is a sign that HS is now more powerful and they are not needed or just people were more willing to post and share then. There is still the chance that if you have a specific idea then someone has done the same, similar or knows how to hack something so post your problems.
