I have started to look at .net but will need to get more familiar with
it before making a vb.net plugin. That being said most of the internals
are fairly basic and should convert over easily, hopefully. I would have
to agree that the hs.compatibility.exe is the cause of many issues for
many of the older plugins, but i suppose it did give them a chance of
working. In some ways it may of been a better idea for HS to insist on
making new plugins for HS2.

<pre wrap="">Thanks James,
I'll give that a try at the weekend.
Do you intend to convert your plugin to VB.NET at any time? The
weakness of Homeseer is hs.compatibility.exe IMO
