Cummon Tony, I think we both know this HA lark isn't supposed to be easy
:-)

Surely though, if all your devices are programmed with names/numbers it is
just 
a case of adding/removing the odd number here and there? Still, I do see
your 
point.

Sounds pretty useful to me!
If he doesn't come good, perhaps one of the lovely Linux bods on the list
could 
help out?

Sorry. Vince is (was?) a member of this group and the guy who persuaded
Keware 
to add the ability to HS to set CIDname & number. He is also the guy
that 
introduced me to this list (barst*rd ;-)) and the Meteor. (He is also a
lovely 
Linux bod with a Tivo :-))

OTT should be the list motto!

I am working from HS SDK 1.0  http://www.homeseer.com/plugins/pluginsdk.zip

SDK 2 is available but as I don't wish to upgrade HS just yet I've not
bothered 
with it. I have had a quick look at the docs though and it looks like it
might 
be possible to introduce custom events & triggers into HS! Looks like
this 
might be the way for you to go!
SDK2 is here: ftp.homeseer.com/pub/pluginsdk.zip

Cheers,
Justin.
