Feature request: Message sending directly...

Hi Eric,

That feature would be quite easy to add. I will add it to the roadmap and it will definitely be added in the next release.

Would this be an accurate description of your requirements:
"Allow the sending of ad-hoc messages for display on all or selected individual Rokus directly from the RokuSeer Control page."

Hello George,

yes, that`s the perfect description of my wish !

Sorry, my english isn`t that good.

Maybe you can add also a box for selecting how long this message will show up on the soundbridge ?

Thanks a lot.


Another question:

I am on the way to buy one of those HomeTrollers.

Will your Plugin work on that also?

Hi Eric,

I've added the note about being able to specify all the message parameters when displaying from the control page.

I think the plug-ins should function in a Hometroller as long as it supports networking which I think it must. Let me know how you get on with it - I'm interested to know if it works.

George

Hi Eric,

The change you requested to display messages from the Roku control page is functionaly complete. I just need to tidy up the page layout, do some some more testing and make a release for submission to the updater.

Expect a new version sometime early next week. I'll keep you updated.

George

Hi Eric,

How will you use this new feature? Will you send similar messages every time? Would it be useful to be able to save the message and display settings as a preference? Or do you need a drop-down list of favorite messages?

Apart from that it's done.

Good ideas,

Hi George

-Will you send similar messages every time?
> No I like your idea to make it possible to save some ( not all...) messages

-Would it be useful to be able to save the message and display settings as a preference?
> Yes, but not every one ! Maybe saving with a standard display setting as no other setting is chosen ?

-Or do you need a drop-down list of favorite messages?
> Is this not the same option as above ?

George,

can you make it that the text-style is falling back in the standart style after showing the message send from your roku-site?

Hi Eric,

I have just submitted version 1.7 of RokuSeer to HomeSeer so it should appear in the updater in a day or so.

This includes your requested features plus a couple of other enhancements.

Hi Eric,

Could you try the following:

Open the HS Web Interface
Go to Setup
Go to Interfaces
Check that the RokuSeer interface is enabled
Click on the Config button next to the RokuSeer plug-in

Does the Roku config page come up?
Can you configure the SoundBridge?

Thanks,
George
