So I could control the light by actually turning it on (how old fashioned) or from the iobridge widget. If I turn it on by hand there is nothing to let the online buttons know of the change. That being said, I am sure you could rig up a little circuit that would let you know if the lights are on or not.Stephen Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378934879753997602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051273682618871172.post-14878961327241121472008-12-17T10:34:00.000-08:002008-12-17T10:34:00.000-08:00Dang...so I hand typed that code and posted to a w...Dang...so I hand typed that code and posted to a web server for nothing :) I was hoping to at least make your lights blink a few hundred times before you disabled it. Well at least I got to see how easy it COULD be to control lights with it. Is there any way to have the widget/web page show you what the current state is? By highlighting the ON or OFF?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051273682618871172.post-30997829240482688952008-12-17T10:24:00.000-08:002008-12-17T10:24:00.000-08:00Realized I didn't have to. ioBridge creates new JS...Realized I didn't have to. ioBridge creates new JS each time you make a widget. So I made the widget for that figure and then just deleted the widget. I used another widget for the actual controls. I found making a fake one was quicker then blurring the real thing.Stephen Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378934879753997602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051273682618871172.post-50448244196793310612008-12-17T10:21:00.000-08:002008-12-17T10:21:00.000-08:00You didn't blur the JS code this time like you did...You didn't blur the JS code this time like you did in other screenshots..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051273682618871172.post-6753010856166058822008-12-08T19:37:00.000-08:002008-12-08T19:37:00.000-08:00Right now the iobridge widget creator does on/off ...Right now the iobridge widget creator does on/off and bright/dim control. So it's perfect for controlling lights or powering up or down other devices. <BR/><BR/>Insteon is backwards compatible so the ioBridge module should control your insteon modules. However they will be controlled with the x10 protocol and not the insteon protocol. <BR/><BR/>I haven't used insteon so I did some googling before I replied to you. It looks like you might have to pay to become a insteon developer whereas the x10 protocol has been around a lot longer and might be more developer friendly. <BR/><BR/>If you have a large house and are worried about the x10 signal getting to the other side of your house you could buy another iobridge and set it on the other side of your house. It looks like an iobridge module and an insteon controller module differ in price by only about 10 bucks. Then you could have two doggie treat dispensersStephen Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378934879753997602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051273682618871172.post-16386544279633567012008-12-08T16:14:00.000-08:002008-12-08T16:14:00.000-08:00does it work the same way with other x10 devices? ...does it work the same way with other x10 devices? <BR/><BR/>i'm concerned about using x10 in my home due to a loss of signal over extended lengths of wire.<BR/><BR/>it would be great if a module was created that would allow interface with the INSTEON RF interface.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378754643006595508noreply@blogger.com
