Ron,

Is the dmex (ipod/iphone) interface meant to be an alternative to using NetRemote? If so, what would be used to graphically edit it in place of NetRemoteDesigner? If not, why not just use NetRemote?

Thanks for any info.

Peter

P.S.
Great ipod and iphone interface and video.

The DMEX/iPod interface is indeed a limited alternative to NetRemote. The difference being NetRemote can be customized easily and has a faster response to events from Girder. The webserver can be accessed from ANY device that supports a browser, NetRemote only runs on Windows based devices.

Make sense?

Is there any reason why all of my Insteon devices won't show up? I see them in the device manager tab of the plugin and I have editted the names of the LampLincs, SwitchLincs and ApplianceLincs, but only four of them show up. One of three toggles show up and all three of the sliders for the dimmable devices. I can control all of the devices using the Insteon actions on the tree.

Thanks.

The Insteon pluign only published Insteon devices it knows and can talk to. Make sure that is the case.

Well, they are all ApplianceLincs, which have been around since the dawn of Insteon. I can control them from Girder, they just do not appear on the Dmex webpage that is built.

Ron, does the Insteon Plugin not publish the Insteon ApplianceLincs? I have a Timer SwitchLinc that has the same functionality (ON/OFF) and it is shown in the device manager webserver page with no problems. I've also added my X10 door and window sensors and motion sensors.

It does publish these for me.

I don't know if this is related, but for NR by default the DM ignores SwitchLinc devices. I found that to enable them I needed to uncomment the line

['Appliance\\Switch'] == true,

in the definition of LightingDeviceTypes in the file: Proximis\NetRemote\luascript\DM\Lighting.lua

Thanks Peter. I'll try that out.

Since I'm not using NetRemote yet, I checked the equivalent file in the Girder 5 directory (Girder5\luascript\DeviceManager\Devices\lighting. lua) and the only mention of appliance switches were the following bits which not commented out:


local ApplianceSwitch = Switch:New ( {

Type = 'Appliance\\Switch',

} )


and


DeviceManager:AddDeviceClass('ApplianceSwitch', ApplianceSwitch)


Back to the drawing board, I guess.
