Anyone using the xAP slimserver connector and the homeseer xAP conduit may
=
find it useful to add a few "dummy" codes to slimserver. Codes
which have n=
o function within slimserver, but which are fully reported in a xAP
message=
, and therefore easily responded to by homeseer.

To give you an idea of the the potential of the IR events, I've pointed a
T=
EAC remote control at a slimp3 and armed and disarmed a comfort security
sy=
stem. It could as easily been an X10 device, CBUS, etc.
The actual process goes

TEAC remote ->
Slimserver ->
xAP slimserver connector ->
xAP message ->
homeseer xAP conduit IR event ->
homeseer event (based on comfort plugin) ->
comfort

The actual setting up of slimserver and the xap conduit took about 10
minut=
es, I'm sure that can easily be speeded up with familiarity.

With the awesome capabilties of the homeseer conduit, it's not an
exagerati=
on that ANY homeseer connected device can now be controlled easliy by IR.

It's a surprisingly simple process, I've written up a short guide which
Jam=
es has kindly included on mi4.biz. You can find it here
http://www.mi4.biz/modules.php?name=3DContent&pa=3Dshowpage&pid=3D31
in the guides section. Stuart will be including a nice HTML version with
fu=
ture downloads of the slimserver connector.
