I unfortunately have had things in life get in the way of me doing much with my home automation. I do need something to distract me, I'll see if i can try to figure anything out.

Vera Home Automation Controller / Re: Triggering VC command with a vera scene
« on: January 28, 2015, 05:06:22 PM »
I have pretty much the same scene for coming home as you do. I may have gone about it in a very round about way, but i did so to avoid the issue you mentioned.
equipment used - vera lite, hue lights, harmony home hub,door sensor, xbmc, pc with vc.
vera things used to accomplish this. pleg, a couple of timers, virtual switch and scenes
There may be a better way to do this, but this works for me.
When I leave, Vc reads me the current weather, runs a vera scene. In the scene is a 10 minute timer that arms a pleg device that states "if armed and the front door opens turn virtual switch to on".
(timer is set to 10 minutes in case i have to come back home real quick. Plus without it, by the time I gave the leaving command and made it to the front door, it would be armed so the I'm home scene would run)
So what happens when i get home, as soon as I open the door, the virtual switch triggers vera and Vc to run through my commands.
It disarms pleg, my hue lights turns on, I am greeted by Lemon(vc) and she tells me the temps in the living room, media room, turns on the tv/stereo/xbmc to party mode. After a 3 second timer the virtual switch is turned off.
I hope that made some sense.

"Open air" and "whole home" microphones / Re: Anyone gonna try this out? Amazon echo
« on: January 28, 2015, 04:08:02 PM »
I saw this on reddit. Asked about saying stop at the end. His response "Haha yes, unfortunately - otherwise the Echo will try to interpret the command itself. It's a workaround!". Having to say stop each time is a deal breaker for me. Maybe in 6 month's it will be better.

When only using the Kodi addon supplied by voxcommando on kodi helix, I have discovered that the play function has an error. I am not using any other add-ons in vera or kodi. It is not tied to any command in VC anymore. I am reporting on what i see in the history window and experience.
With the sequence of playing a movie/music/tv show, then pausing, then playing again, the play command generates a xJson.duplicateEvent error in the history window.
Once I restart vc, I get to leverage the XBMC.player.onPlay.* once. next time i hit play, regardless of how long in between using the play button the duplicate error happens again.
I have unplugged the veralight, then rebooted the kodi pc, and restarted vc to have the same error.

"If you want to know the play state of KODI you don't need to involve Vera in any way. VC generates events based on KODI by itself. "
I was having sporadic results with vc reporting back, that is why i went the vera route. I retested and have another log in my last post.

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / Kodi 14 "Helix" - and some Vera plugin
« on: January 18, 2015, 04:04:20 PM »
I am using micasaverde addons(device in vera) to get the state of kodi ( play, pause, resume). Vc shows the actions in the window and I use those actions as triggers in vc to run a vera scene and also to mute/unmute my mic.
I have tried 2 of the addons seperately with the same results. The log i attached shows the sequence of starting the movie, then pausing it and then resuming.
edit- I have taken the vera stuff out and retested. I get the same error with vc getting the info from kodi on just the play command. this is the log with out vera interferring.

I am trying to set up scenes to turn lights on and off. I am getting the state of kodi from veralight. When i start the movie, all is good. I pause, fine. The next time I hit play i get the following
Is this a vera issue? or just new kodi stuff? I tried the xbmcstate and the kodi remote vera addons and they both produce the same results.

I'm sorry I have been knee deep in building out a nuc for xbmc and redoing my coming home sequence. I love party mode starting when i walk in the door.
The version of the hue i have currently is 2.0.1.3. Give me a few to do a before and after with logs and see if the dll works.
