James Seilbach Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Is there anyway to copy a script, or a series of commands from one keypad button, to another. Right now I have been just rebuilding them from scratch when I want to change the buttons around. Seems like there should be an easy way to copy the script from one keypad button, and then paste it into another.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slemay Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 There currently is no way to do it - but it's a feature I've been asking for forever. PLUS - I wanted a way in Composer for it to give me a summary of all the programming / scripts. That 2nd feature alone comes in handy when you're trying to figure out why the lights in the basement keep going off at what appears random times on people. But find out that it was an accidental event someone triggered for a bathroom timer to turn those lights off after 30 minutes etc... when there are no programming on the basement lights themselves, it can get to a a large / tedious process to trace back and find WHAT is calling that device into action.

danlevine Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yes a display all programming option would be awesome.... It's impossible to try to remember where things have been programmed on sometimes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxspivak Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 There may be a hacky way to display all programming. I'm still working on it, though. Here's what I got so far -- I figured that all the programming info must be stored on the MC somewhere. So I logged into it, and started looking for the right file(s). I found a file /etc/DirectorState.xml which had a timestamp of my last tweak via Composer.So I pulled it onto my Mac and loaded it up into an XML editor. The file is large, but it looks to contain all the project information is there. I'm going to try and write an XSL stylesheet to transform it to something readable.Stay tuned...Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshepherd Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Max, what are you thinking, don't you know you shouldn't solve problems like this? Love to see it. Once you get that working how about an iTunes to C4 playlist conversion utility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechStud Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Max, what are you thinking, don't you know you shouldn't solve problems like this?Ya! What are you thinking? You can't do that sort of thing! ;-) That would be sacrilege and unconventional!!! Keep up the good work! Glad to see someone taking the initiative on this! My linux skills are limited. I haven't touched linux in about 6 years... so I am not certain that I would be able to do anything without breaking it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemay Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 You're not kidding - I hated Linux - fought it all the way (and I've owned TWO ISPs / ASPs in the past) - got myself MCSE certified and still am forced to learn Linux - one of these days I'll find the time...

hgrace Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Try using variables. We create variables and use the keypad pushes to act on them. Then when we hav 10 keypads doing one action we just change the one variable created action. Simple ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
