> HomeVision users,
>
> We've put a new beta version of the HomeVision software (version 3.3)
on
our
> web page at:

>    http://www.csi3.com/beta_32.htm
<http://www.csi3.com/beta_32.htm>
>
> This version adds three features:
>
> 1. The software can automatically synchronize the controller's
clock
> with the PC clock.
>
> 2. A small new software program has been created that provides
another
> way to control your home.  This program allows icons on your
computer
> desktop to send a command to HomeVision.  For example, one icon
might turn
> on a light, another might lower your thermostat setpoint by one
degree,
> another might trigger a macro, etc.  This new program is called
"HV
> Desktop". In order for it to function, the regular HomeVision
application
> must be running on the PC and be connected to the HomeVision
controller.
You
> can then create "shortcuts" on your desktop that run the
"HV Desktop"
> program. Each shortcut must contain a "command line"
parameter that
> specifies an ASCII serial message to send to HomeVision. When this
shortcut
> is run, the "HV Desktop" program will run (but will be
invisible), will
send
> a Windows message to the HomeVision application, and will then shut
down.
> The message tells the HomeVision application to send the serial
message to
> the HomeVision controller, which it does (after adding a carriage
return
to
> the end). The controller then executes the command.
>
> 3. If you have a HomeVision add-on serial port, HomeVision can
> automatically take data received from one serial port and transmit it
out
> one or more of the other ports.   Note: This requires a new
beta PROM.
