It's been awhile since I posted. Doing ok and still adding to my downsized home automation. A lot of things have changed. Some things us old timers only dreamed about doing it just plain easy now. LOL

Well Now Playing is now offline.  I have moved on to another simpler solution.  I will detail that when I am done.   If anyone has interest in my Ocelot and ADI modules let me know.  I am going to be selling them.  Also will be selling the following:   M-Audio Delta 410 10 Channel Sound Card  ...

Well after many years I have finally decided to retire Nowplaying.  I have decided to go a new way which I will detail in my blog soon.   However I would still like to modify my Netremote skin to work on my day to day desktop. The problem is JRMC version 11 crashes on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I do...

I have a 6 channel master hub and 6 temp modules with cases I am looking to off load. If there is any interest in these PM me. The temp modules were never used and the hub sat in my rack pretty much not used as well.      

Happy Belate Birthday!

Well so far the button fix for the Harmony 880 seems to be working fine although I have reprogrammed it for my family room and use the Harmony One for my main HT room. The Harmony One seems like it has a lot more quality (at least hoping it does)

Well I would say Netremote has a higher learning curve but Girder is pretty straight forward. Other than a couple of functions I don't have much custom code in Girder to do the home automation functions. If you can use the Windows Explorer tree then Girder is not much harder. A lot of drag and...

I guess it really comes down to what you want to do with it. For the backside of home automation it is a good app. HSTouch has a lot of flaws though and is not as good as it should be. For those that want basic touchscreens for lighting and other HA functions it will work. Try interfacing with...

2X allows you to set it so that the server you are loging into takes on the RDP's clients own resolution when you connect. So I created a skin for Now Playing for each device at the devices native rez (Kindle Firefly or Droid Razor Maxx). I am using the Windows XP three login hack on my SageTV...

Using the 2X RDP app on my Kindle Fire I see very little delay. It feels like NR is running natively on it. In fact this has worked so well I took my 15" ELO touchscreen offline as I use the Kindle Fire most of the time now.     I don't have any video's right now. Personally I have yet to see...

Well not to repeat myself... check out my blog here on Cocoontech (with over 95K views) that details my Touchscreen based whole house audio, lighting and security setup. I use Netremote for the GUI frontend and Girder 5 for the home automation. It has everything from Elk integration to the Grace...

Yes if companies would listen.... but this is CT so they bestter.. lol

I also would like to wish everyone a happy holiday!

You mentioned controls in each room? Like volume controls? Then I would check to see that the LPADS are installed properly. Never assume the wiring is correcly installed if someone else did it.

Were you having trouble with the buttons?
