Hi Jon,
I have been chatting with Edward re the extended x10 commands and the
following ocx will support it
www.mi4.biz/files/testing/20070507_hspi_xAP2.zip
I have also added a line that means that should HS request and x10 code
that the plugin doesn't know that the info will be put in the log which
will hopefully make debugging easier!
If you do have lots and lots of devices then I would suggest going to
the xAP>Config>Devices tab and disabling some. Down the bottom of the
list you have a disable all option. Probably best to start with then all
off and turn them on as needed.
Stability wise I haven't seen any problems. I have seen issues
occasionally where when HS2 restarts the hs_compatibilty.exe which runs
the plugin doesn't stop and when HS2 starts it can't run any plugins.
There is an issue with domotion, both xAP and domotion work fine on
their own. Run them together and one or the other doesn't work, very odd.
It may be worth deleting your /xAP/ folder before running the new ocx to
make sure all is nice and clean. The vb.net error is very odd and not
something i've seen before, if it continues could you email you
/xAP/settings.txt file to me and i'll see what is going on. ( james at
mi4 dot biz). I don't know if your running this on vista but there is a
hot fix for some vb.net errors ftp://homeseer.com/pub/VBPatch.exe,
but
even without that patch the xap plugin is working fine here on vista
with HS2.2.0.11
Let me know how you get on.

<pre wrap="">Kevin,
Sorry, I should have answered your first post better.
I do also have Michaels xAP plugin installed (but disabled) and tried
it before downloading James offering.
I was hoping to support a home grown plugin first! That said, I did see
a post somewhere on the HS message board about xAP conduit stability
issues (I cannot find it ATM) and wanting to change to Michaels plugin.
With conduit, I am seeing so many xAP messages, probably due to my 486
devices being constantly updated that the xAP viewer cannot cope at
times. As usual, I'm probably pushing things to their limit.
I'll wait until James replies before going down a different route.
Thanks,
Jon
