TextSeer (and WPseer) discussion

[Moskus]

This is where to discusss TextSeer and WPseer.

Here's the HS3 version: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?p=1122376

Is there any ability to toggle a device rather than just turn on or off.
I'm looking to embed a url in an RFID tag and use my Lumia 920 (WP8) to toggle devices on/off.
Also the ability to trigger events would be great too...

If possible I'd like to have a look at integrating RFID into the WPSeer app if you could share the code for it??

[Moskus]

A toggle for on/off and dimmable devices is a great idea! And should be easy to implement aswell.

Send me an email, and I'll see if I can dig up the source.

Thanks for making the HS3 version available Moskus, it works great!

Cheers
Al

[Moskus]

Not a problem! I kind of had to, I was depending on it myself...

[NickStrong]

Did you ever implement a toggle function?

[Moskus]

Yeah, but I haven't gotten around to publish it yet, I'll do that this weekend.

[NickStrong]

Awesome. Thanks!

[NickStrong]

Have you been able to add the possiblity to run an event with textseer?

[Moskus]

Yes... that too needs to be in the new version.

[Moskus]

See version 0.0.2
... I can't remember if it includes toggle (I seldom use toggle), but it can trigger events.

[NickStrong]

Nice, whats the event command? Doesnt say so in the help file.

Cant find the toggle command in 0.0.2?

[Moskus]

... no, sadly, there's no toggle yet.
I remember now, I made a script for it but didn't add it to the plugin yet.


For events, try this:
To see all event groups
/textseer?Location1=[Events]


To see all events in a group:
/textseer?location1=[Events]&location2=Kontroll


From there, just grab the Event ID, and execute it like you would with a device but with the command "Run Event":
/textseer?deviceid=1000&devicecmd=Run%20Event

Textseer - Cool - Documentation??

I just discovered Textseer and it works pretty cool. I know I could control HS3 with JSON but it is way more complex than necessary.

Is there any one place to see all of the URL options? I have gathered up some of the things from various posts so I can control devices and trigger events.

In particular I would like to trigger an event and pass a parameter.

Thanks.

[Moskus]

In particular I would like to trigger an event and pass a parameter.

Events does not take parameters, so that's not possible.

If you mean scripts, however, I think I can add that.


I'll write out all the different URL commands.
