Girder 4

[PhilB]

Anyone using this with success? I was using using 3.2.9 and wanted to use some of the newer features in 4.0.

4.0 does not seem to recognize the events passed from XL. I must be missing some configuration step but cant seem to locate it.

Thanks,
PB

Phil,


What are you using girder for that the current version of xLobby V3 is not able to do ?

X-10 lights and switches.

Also for Zoomplayer although I was experimenting with X-10 again and ZP works fine with all versions of Girder.

Hey Phil, don't know if you've went this route but,
my house is full of x10, but i do not use girder. I use homeseer.
have you tried to use that program, it works great with all x10 modules.
XL has a plugin that talks to HS. I have had no issues with that program.
If you can do it, i highly recommend it. Bill and Jay put me on to this program.

If I remember,you need to update gireventlib.dll used for sending event to girder, try to get the one provided in girder 4 directory and put it in the xlobby dir

Thanks for the replies all.

After some searching, I found a copy of Girder 3.2.9 and the right plugin for X-10 and it is working nicely now.

I will take a look at Homeseer to see what that offers. I like Girder (not because it is so well designed....) because it gives me Zoomplayer and X-10 in 1 app. I have tried to simplified the number of apps required to make my system do what I want.

Since I never could get the builtin video player to work and the built in "XL Services" does not support X-10 native (I did try Insteon a bit as well), I am forced down this route but it is working so I am not complaining.
