Thought I'd share my control screen for my HAH using xAPFlash.  This is in beta and the beta thread can be found here.

Here's my current control screen:

I only have a very limitied amount of devices connected to my HAH at the moment and it is all of my HA.  For those of you with a lot of other systems connected together, this seems to be an excellent interface.  The Joggler's are going for about £60 on ebay and xAPFlash runs on it natively with only a small amount of hacking required.

Here's my xapconfig.xml file to help get you started:

There's much more that xAPFlash can do, especially now that all elements are controlable via xAP messages, this should offer a huge amount of scope for the plugboard to interact with the display. 

I thought about writing up a how to but the documentation provided by Kevin is excellent, so this may help more.

Cool

Now I want one of them as well :)

 

Just not keen on having a PC running all the time to run it (iServer), or is that not the case anymore?

Watching them sell for £50+ on ebay....

Hi Karl,

They're working on that.  The plan is to have an iServer built into the Joggler software.

This isn't a problem for me as I have several systems running 24 Hrs a day but with the control I now have over all my systems, I'm not sure how long that will last, no iServer is something I'm hoping for too.

For now the results are worth the extra running.

From not having any HA and only having a fairly small flat, I now have a system which is growing inptential all the time...

I've still got my eye on Arduino and some ZigBee interfaces!

I'm just not sure Brett & Derek are setup for all questions that may bring!

iServer ?

Is the iServer this UDP/TCP bridge for the Joggler?  If so I could write one for the HAH and this could be used a the bridge.  Its certainly easier then running it on full blown PC.

Any hints as to where to get the source? A Spec? A person writing this?  Any clues!

You probably need to contact Kevin, read this post ...

Yup, Kevin's your man.I

Yup, Kevin's your man.

I imagine it's easy to port, says someone who has no idea what it takes to even turn a boat to port.

I've already posted posted links above, he's already a HAH user as far as I know and seems willing to support it.

HAH running as an iServer would be the perfect answer!!!

Looking at the windows carnation, on my system it uses around 4Mb which I imagine would be an issue for HAH but I also expect this could be tweaked...not sure how increased number of xap devices affects memory use!
