is it possible to use HS as variable

[taffy]

Is it possible to create homeseer commands as objects and use them as varibles like so. The below example does not work but I'm looking for the correct syntax if available. thanks

Set unlocked = CreateObject("hs.isoffbyname")

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Would 'unlocked' then be used like:

unlocked(device_name as string)

Basically extending 'hs.isoffbyname'?

I just tried it and received an error: " ActiveX object can not create objext"

I'm trying to use it so the rest of the script reads commands that would make sense yto a non scripter. instead of if hs.isoffbyname the term if unlocked could be used for a door sensor.
Rupp, thats the smae error I get.

Does anyoone know if this can be done with the correct syntax?

I don't believe this will work because "isoffbyname" is a function (i.e. method) of the hs object. It does not contain the required constructor code that an object has.
