HouseBot Plug-in

["zagknut" <brad@xxxxxxxxxx>]

So, I made it past the hurdle of communicating with the Squeezeboxes,
now I am stumped on the HouseBot Plug-in. Let me know if there is a better
forum for these questions.

I have created a Sender device in HouseBot that will send the button
commands to the correct squeezebox when I click on the "Click to test
and send message". So, I try to create a "macro" using
Tasks, but no luck; nothing is sent. In the help section of HouseBot on xAP
Sender Devices it says "Writing a value to the xAP Message Target
property triggers the xAP message", so I use "add Action"
item and chage my button name (favorites, play, etc) and then the name of
the target. Unfortunately, the target name is not changed between the
"marco" calls and the command is not sent. So, I try changing the
target field to "-", which creates an error message in xFx
Viewer, but no problem. This works. Great I think, until I realize BOTH
Squeezeboxes are changing! I have the same problem with all commands, other
than power and level. Any guidance on where I'm going astray would be MOST
appreciated. Again, I am looking to simulate button pushes on the unit,
such
as next track, pause, play,
and a macro (favorites, down, play).

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
Brad
