getting firefly remote to work

[openbox]

I noticed the intro said 'supports snapstream firefly directly' but my installation (latest version) doesn't seem to 'see' events from my firefly remote nor do I see any addable plugins for that remote. My firefly remote works fine with BTV otherwise however.

What am I missing?

I have no Firefly myself but I think some user has reported it works.

Do you have the X10 plugin installed and have set it to "SnapStream Firefly"? If this doesn't work, try the "Generic X10" setting.

[openbox]

Yes I have read of users that got it working.

I have the X10 plugin installed but I don't find where to set it to SSF. Accessing the event properties seem to have an error though....

Oh, this is an old bug.

Please try the latest *_Setup.exe from here:

Just did the upgrade...no more errors on event properties.

I notice that somehow, sourceforge lead me to the earliest possible build!

Thanks!

And does the Firefly now work as intended?

[openbox]

Hi BitMon,

Yes, it works great! Excellent forum support here.

Now exploring the webserver plugin...

Slightly OT, but is it intended as a way to allow other PCs to access content from the specified www root thereby allowing events to be generated to trigger macros?

Yes.

If I set it up on 80, placed a file test.html should I expect to see HTML:test in the logger? I'm not seeing any HTML events whatsoever.

What am I missing?

...or maybe it is intended for XML to be placed in the doc root, and then viewed in order to be executed? VERY useful feature that I am hoping to get working to tie everything together.

You have to extend the URL with a questionmark and the event you want:
http://localhost/index.html?MyEvent

[openbox]

ok great. Got it!

Now the Roomba can go do a weekly vaccuum when I access the link from my phone!
