Application:
XP Media Center PC, running Homeseer, is located in den in home theater audio rack next to 57" projection TV with standard computer mic connected to mic input of PC. Lighting and other devices are installed and controlled through CM11A using Homeseer.
Findings:
Sitting about 10 feet away, on the sofa, I trained VR(using wired computer mic) and got pretty good results with some VR lighting commands, even with TV background noise on. Have purchased (3) wireless mic's that Rupp found cheap on another post but haven't installed yet until I can buy and wire wal-warts.
Problems:
1. Genie recognizes and responds to TV "talk" continuously no matter where I set MS agent sensitivity. May be able to solve this with changing wakeup command to something a like, "Computer, I need you", but may run into another problem with TV noise screwing with the multiple wording. I can hook up the wireless mike near the sofa vs next to the TV but haven't figured how or where to mount and hide it.
2. Main problem is Homeseer continues to "forget" the VR training and quits responding after a couple of days. Don't know why, unless MS Agent tries to continue VR "learning" from TV talk. 3. Since 57" TV is now computer monitor in this application, I can only see genie when TV picture is windows into XP windows desktop screen. Can't find a way to have Homeseer or XP Media Center allow genie to pop up and "overlay" on top of TV at full screen (and main Media Center screens). I can barely hear Genie respond to a wakeup command "behind" the Media Center TV screen depending on how high the TV volume is.
Questions:
1. Any other suggestions???
2. Are there some typical settings that I forgot to set to prevent Homeseer from losing my VR training???
3. Anybody know how to get Genie to pop up and overlay on Media Center screen???(Doesn't appear to be an option in the XP Media Center plugin) If this isn't possible, does anyone know how and where to increase the volume at which Genie speaks as opposed to the volume of the TV???
