stat=hs.devicestatus("^2")
if stat = 2 then 
        response.write "front door is closed"
ElseIf stat<>2 then
                  response.write "front door is open"

supergee,
Try cahnging if stat = 2 then to if stat = "2" then
and see if that works. It should be working.

What is it printing out now?

Thanks for your respnose rupp i did what you said but no change when i take the browser to the page i get the output:

Script error:
dim stat
stat=hs.devicestatus("^2")
if stat = "2" then
Response.Send "front door is closed"
ElseIf stat<>2 then
Response.Send "front door is open"

i notice that the response.write has changed to response.send any ideas

Doesn't
if stat = 2
have to be
if stat == 2

Supergee,
Try changing the response.writes to Response.Write capitalizing both letters in both cases.

Rocco that's for javascript.

[supergee]

Doesn't
if stat = 2
have to be
if stat == 2

ive changed to that still showing
Script error: if stat == "2" then
Response.Send "front door is closed"

what about theelse if stat<>"2" then

Rocco that's for javascript.

Oops . . . sorry.

No rupp still getting script error heres the script as it is now

<% 
dim stat 
stat=hs.devicestatus("^2")

Response.Write "front door is closed" 
ElseIf stat<> "2" then 
Response.Write "front door is open" 
%>

Response.Send "front door is closed"
ElseIf stat<> "2" then
Response.Send "front door is open"

Supergee,

Add this to the bottom of your code:

end if

[supergee]

Got it in the end

after much searching seems it was missing end if

[php]
<%
dim stat
stat=hs.devicestatus("^2")
if stat= "2" then
Response.Write "front door is closed"
ElseIf stat<> "2" then
Response.Write "front door is open"
end if
%>
[php]

cheers chaps

A side comment: The elseif isn't really required. You can just use else. You already know that stat <> 2 (otherwise it wouldn't get to the else).

<%
dim stat
stat=hs.devicestatus("^2")
if stat= "2" then
   Response.Write "front door is closed"
Else
   Response.Write "front door is open"
End if
%>
