RE: Re: xAP HomeSeer plugin - Released

Ah, thanks.

Currently (since I'm only just gettting started with using xAP/xPL), I
won't
be running any other xapplications on that box. (the Homeseer plugin is
what
has spurred me into action!)

should I infer then, that the Homeseer plugin won't automatically be a hub
if it is the first xapplication to run on the box, - which I kinda thought
was "normal" behaviour for xAP apps?....

Cheers.

Paul G.
