    I'm getting this error?

    Script error: Type mismatch: 'ToggleCommandButton'

    response.write Cstr( ToggleCommandButton("Default", "House Lighting Status", "Default", "Sleep"))
    response.write Cstr( ToggleCommandButton("Default", "House Lighting Status", "Default", "Sleep"))

      It is looking for an event that does not exist in your setup.

      You need to edit the aio.asp for you devices and events.

      I have added a Readme.txt and updated the first post with the instructions

        Can I just edit the first command to get an ideal of how this works?

        This is what I have in the asp page


        ToggleCommandButton("Sunroom", "Heat", "Heat Sunroom", "Heat SunroomOff")%>
        ToggleCommandButton("Heat Sunrom", "Heat", "Heat SunroomOff", "Heat Sunroom")%>

        but this is what shows up in the page when served.

        cript error: Type mismatch: 'ToggleCommandButton'

        response.write Cstr( ToggleCommandButton("Sunroom", "Heat", "Heat Sunroom", "Heat SunroomOff"))
        response.write Cstr( ToggleCommandButton("Sunroom", "Heat", "Heat Sunroom", "Heat SunroomOff"))

          I forgot to mention you will need a device in HS to store the value. Just create a Status Only device. Call it 'Heat' and this should work

          you have this as...

          Display Text on Button = Sunroom
          Device in HS used for status = Heat
          Event to trigger when button is Clicked ON = Heat Sunroom
          Event to trigger when button is Clicked OFF = Heat SunroomOff

          so ensure you have events for both ON and OFF functions

            I have a device called heat. Its is not status only device though. Does that matter?

              Should not matter... I use this interface daily on HS2 (previously used it on HS 1.7)
              - not sure what is different on your end.

                I downloaded this script and tried it out as well. I've been using Rover but was looking for something a little more updated. Thanks for the post.

                I found some issues with the included files and instructions -

                First, the aio.asp file has a path for the included webcontrol.asp file in a folder that doesn't exist and isn't in the instructions:

                include virtual="/ip/webcontrol.asp"

                Notice the subfolder /ip/ which doesn't exist in my homeseer install and isn't included in the zip file. I removed the /ip/ from this line. Otherwise you generate the error the other poster mentioned above.

                It also appears that there is a line of 'garbage characters' at the end of the webcontrol.asp file that get included in the html. I thought maybe this was just me and downloaded the zip file and extracted it again, but I still got the same thing at the end of webcontrol.asp. I had to manually delete this junk. Can you check the zip?

                Another problem in the webcontrol.asp was the image path included in the file:

                strIconPath = "/icons/devices/" ' Sets path for your icons

                This path doesn't exist in the archive (there is no devices folder) so the path is wrong if you extract everything by the instructions. I edited this line to say:

                strIconPath = "Images/icons/" ' Sets path for your icons

                These paths probably exists on the original posters system hence the errors others are receiving.

                With a little detective work you can make this script work well.

                  In the webcontrol.asp page there is also a bug in the 'ImageFromStatus' function.

                  When the device type resolves to unknown in the function the image path is set to 'unknown.gif' without appending the strIconPath so that the path resolves to /html/unknown.gif which doesn't exist. Leaves a lot of errors in the Homeseer log (if you have an unknown device).

                  In that function code block replace the 2 instances of
                  strTemp = "unknown.gif"
                  with
                  strTemp = strIconPath + "unknown.gif"

                  This will provide the correct path.

                        Hello, I am starting to work with this kind of devices, I have a Pro100 device, in the about page it reads:

                        HomeSeer Version: Professional Edition 2.5.0.52

                        will this script work with this version of home seer? I have read the instructions and followed the tips, but I got this error:

                        Script error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A000D

                        response.write Cstr( ToggleCommandButton("Lamp", "Lamp1", "LampOn", "LamparotaOff"))
                        response.write Cstr( ToggleCommandButton("Lamp", "Lamp1", "LampOn", "LamparotaOff"))


                        Any ideas?

                        Thank you very much
