Super easy to install, configure, and use. super easy to incorporate into HSTouch. SUPER COOL! Another big win for Snevl_Awesome!

Installed in a couple of minutes with no issues...works Great!

The only request I would have would be to have more Homeseer device than just distance to different locations. Using WPIMan's script, I was populating the following as HomeSeer Devices (for each person):

Street Address
Latitude
Longitude
Position (looks like Township, State, Country in one string)
State
Zipcode

I think I also had county at one point, but that stopped working.

I wasn't actually using any of this data for anything else, but I had planned to at least display it in HSTouch at some point.

Just a suggestion...

Great Work!

Scott,

Those are there already! Like you said, these devices are per person, so you put them in with the person/badge. For each person you enter a name, the Google Latitude user ID, and then a bunch of device strings.

I probably need to make that more clear somehow. If that isn't what you are looking for, let me know.

Haha! Not sure how I missed those. For some reason I was thinking the configuration page would populate with the actual values...I have no idea why I was thinking this!

Looks perfect.

Thanks.

By the way, this is a pretty cool add to HSTouch. I know there are lots of people here who are more graphically creative than me, so excuse my simple screen (note that I've hidden my home address to avoid any letter bombs).

stevea, thanks for this! I'm installing this tonight!

Steve,

Your script ran fine for a while but now getting an error.

Steve,

Brian,

Sorry about that. I'll have to take a look at it. The debug is mostly a place-holder for now, as I haven't put much debug in. I guess I will now though.

Based on where the error is, I suspect that if you disable the reverse-geocode (on the config panel) and hit save, it will no longer error, but then you won't get street and city.

I'm going to be booked up today and tomorrow, but will take a look at this Wed.

I get this error when the script runs:

I get this error when the script runs:

Moskus,

I see the exact line it is failing on. Do you use a comma or a decimal point for the decimal fractions? Did you go to the configuration tab and hit save one time?

Steve

You should be able to set your PC to do the comma separation from the control panel for debug.

I like the integration with Google maps.

I'll give it a whirl tonight. I am glad to see this idea being built upon.

I thought I had accounted for all the ways the comma vs period might hit, but I didn't deal with it for the default value of minimum distances read in from the INI file. I think I'll make the default 0 just to avoid the problem. Once the person actually does a save from the config panel it doesn't matter any more, or at least I don't think it should.

Steve

EDIT: Since I will be out of pocket for a couple of days, and since I provided source, if anyone wants to take a look at the two issues that have come up (both in Britain, from Brian and Moskus) I'm ok with that. As I said, I think I have a solution for the error Moskus hit.

[Moskus]

Moskus,

Wops, I didn't hit save on the config page, but trying that now.

In norway we use comma as the decimal separator, BUT on my virtual HomeSeer server I have set period as the decimal separator to avoid issues (like this, and with the DenonAVR plugin).

Question: This is not clear to me ---- Are we suppose to create separate Postion, Latitude, Longitude, Radius, Street Address, City Address, Zip Code, Update Daate/Time, Map for each person

This is a Great Script - Thanks Steve and Michael!!!
