i've already got hipporemote talking to event ghost already. see this post from their blog
ONE MORE THING
There is one other pretty significant new feature in HippoRemote Pro 3.1. You can now assign buttons and macros to access URLs. This is quite useful for a couple things.
First, I think this will be really helpful to EventGhost users. Instead of assigning keyboard shortcuts to your EventGhost actions, you can instead map them to URLs using the web server plugin. No more worrying about keyboard conflicts with other apps.
Second, you can use this feature to control other non-PC devices on your network. For example, if you have a networked AV receiver that powers your speakers, you can create macros to control the master volume. Super super useful.
Creating one of these macros is pretty straightforward, just put the URL you want to access between some brackets like so:
[http://{IP address of device}/some_url]
If you want to target the computer that HippoRemote is connected to:
[http://localhost/some_url]
And if you want to send an HTTP POST command, just add a space after the URL and then your POST body:
[http://{IP address of device}/post_url POST_BODY]
This feature is still experimental and like all things involving networking, there are many potential gotchas. If you run into any issues or have questions, please dont hesitate to send me an email.
what i'm actually asking is how do i get eventghost to call a custom vc command. i want 'startducking' to run when i tell it too from eventghost using (i think) the vc.triggerevent
