I'm new to xap and could use some help.  I posted on the xLobby forum but
came here in hopes of success!  I'm excited about the possibilities of xap
and my home automation system.



I'm attempting to control lights in the house via Homeseer/xap/xLobby.



I have followed the install and have Homeseer plug-in, GUI Hub, and xLobby
plug-in installed.  The hub sees activities from both.  I'm sure I omitted
something stupid but..



If I select "Actions on receipt" within the xLobby plug-in I get
windows
opening within xLobby showing Homeseer activities so I know there is a
connection between xlobby and Homeseer, but I can't get any actions from
xlobby to work with Homeseer.



Under the events tab I have created an event called ceiling light On and
configured it as follows:

Plug-in:        xAP-Xlobby

Command:  Basic Control: On

Variables:   Hallways.light



When I run this I see the following in the GUI Hub:

xap-header

{

v=12

hop=1

iuid=FFABCD00

class=xAPBSC.cmd

source=PTrinchi.Xlobby.homeseer

target=mi4.homeseer.*.*:Hallways.Light

}

id=*

state=On

}





Nothing happens within Homeseer.  There is nothing in the HS event log





My device is light under the location of hallways.



If I turn the light on within Homeseer, I get a popup window in xlobby that
says



xap-header

{

v=12

hop=1

iuid=FF411904

class=xAPBSC.event

source=mi4.homeseer.homeseer.H:Hallways.Light

}

state:ON
