Create virtual device from plugin

[Agwan]

Hi,

Im new to development of HS plugins, so bare with me.

I have found how to include (using) the needed dlls to C# to connect to HomeSeer3. Now I have a number of variables in c# that I want to be nodes under a root device in HS3. So that the root device and its nodes is created when the plugin is installed.

Is there a simple example of this? I cant seem to find the correct words to search the forum to fint it.

Also if there is an example or explanation on how to send an image from C# to HomeSeer as data for a node.

Thanks,
Anders

Perhaps I am asking things wrong.

I want to use Visual C# Express 2010 to develop a plugin for HomeSeer 3. Is there no example plugin for this?

I assume you've probably seen the sticky posts above.

If not...

Download, extract and open and build - you'll need to point to your HS dlls of course.

Put the HSPI_* into the HS3 directory and enable inside HS3.

The HSPI_Sample creates lots of devices, including status only ones (albeit children of a thermostat.

If you need somethign simpler, I've got this in my ScriptDevice (not posted yet).
