OK Enver. I will email it to you in a few minutes.

I just need to finish off the Homeseer updater package.

Great initiative Paul!

Thanks,

At the moment, it just deals with RFXCOM numerical devices, like temp, humidity, power and rain etc and ON/OFF type devices.

Tomorrow, if I get time, I will also add the ability to create the Homeseer event from the config and add some options for non-standard devices.

Paul..

Hi Paul, I am already uploading using the script but willing to test yours. regards, Bastiaan

Thanks Bastiaan.

It is really designed as a way for the less-technical Homeseer users to get their data uploaded. It does also save a lot of time when setting up your devices, but I suppose it is a tool you use once for the initial setup and then leave it alone.

I will email to to you now.

Paul..

And if you have some new devices installed its very handy to update the XML service fast!
I know there are a lot of domoticans busy on installing sensors to read Gas, Power and Water etc not yet on the XML

DomotiGa now also has an interface for configuring automatic Bwired XML uploads. [:o)]

Ok,the service is not error proof yet.
For example if somebody adds the Celsius sign (special character) in the XML.
My service is not able to generate a valid XML and everybody is of the map!
I'm busy on that part to fix this.

Looks great,
One addition: make it a generic XML service. So make the calling service generic as well.
This way you can use your service not only for Bwired but to anyone you like, even to other programs on your own server.
good idea?

Good idea, but xml is not standard (I guess you know!

So with a new XML service I have to use/code another xml layout... and i have no idea to make this easy configurable, hmmm still thinking about this ... will make the module name more generic to begin with.

About you Celsius sign problem, make sure all xml code and parse routines are set to UTF-8, maybe some part of the code is not doing that?

I had the same problem with my webclient, I had to make sure all my php xmlrpc parse routines treated the data as UTF-8 before it worked ok.
