Glad to hear your response... Greg Liming has been working on a zoneminder
xAP extension, and I was trying to test it for him on homeseer when I

ready to take the xAP jump as soon as that works.
Keep up the good work!

Glad to hear your response... Greg Liming has been working on a

homeseer when I encountered these problems. I'm sure there will
be a few homeseer guys ready to take the xAP jump as soon as that
