    Is this possible?

    i have surveillance cameras in my home that are running on the open-source DVR software called iSpy

    well, it runs on the same machine as HS, and has the ability to add a text overlay that updates from a text file

    my question is: is it possible to have alarm status update from homeseer into a text file?

    Unrelated question - what is the CPU usage like with iSpy? I use BlueIris with 5 IP cams and the CPU usage is a little over 50% on a pretty beefy (non-HS) server. I do quite a bit with motion detection and that adds a lot of overhead.

      Sure, setup an event that is triggered on your alarm status change and add a script to the event that creates a text file.

      Put this in a vb.net script file

      Sub Main(ByVal parm As Object)

      Dim oSW As StreamWriter
      oSW = File.AppendText("test.txt")
      oSW.WriteLine(hs.devicestring("a1"))
      oSW.Close()
      oSW = Nothing

      end sub

          Sorry about that. I was editing my post on my table and thought I was editing my thread.
