----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the link, it's up to 2.5MB and 45 templates right now, but I'm not sure how many of them are actually in use; i barely use most of them.

This is an old list of what I got, and what drivers you'll need to create based on which of the templates you import. I KNOW MANY OF THESE AREN'T IN USE ANYMORE, i'll create a list at some point of the new list. not sure that's totally needed for you to import the theme.

You should create drivers even if you don't have the devices if you want to see the details of how all the actions work.

Step 1: Create all the drivers
Here's the list of drivers that I use that would be referenced by one of these. My drivername is in parens.

1) SageHDExtender x 2
2) XRt12 XM tuner (sample-XRt12)
3) Aprilaire 8870 (sample-aprilaire)
4) CallerID (sample-callerid)
5) Nuvo Concerto (sample-concerto)
6) Denon 3805 (sample-denon-3805)
7) Elk (sample-elk)
8) Rain8Net (sample-rain8net)
9) Timer Driver (sample-timer-elk)
10) Variables Driver (sample-variables-driver)
11) Weather Channel (sample-weatherchannel)
12) zWave (sample-zwave)
13) VK011 (cqcserver-vk011)
14) IV (core2-iv)
15) Squeezebox (Audio1)
16) Marantz DVD
17) Pioneer Pro1150HD
18) Sage
19) TTS
20) USBUIRT

Step 2: Import the templates
Unzip the file. Then, open up the Admin Interface, use the "Administer" menu item to import a package, then import each one manually. If you don't have a piece of equipment that I have but you want the layout/etc, just ignore the errors.

Step 3: Create variables
If you're really jonesing to recreate my setup, create the following variables. Note that many of these are used by some of the 82 scheduled & triggered events that I have, so not all make sense if you just have my templates.
(These are to enable/disable scheduled events)
Active_CID_Announce - Boolean field
Active_HVAC - Boolean
Active_Irrigation - Boolean
Active_Jukebox - Boolean

(These are to deal with the issues with having both a whole-house-amp and a stereo driving the h/t. I use the unpowered zone output from the concerto, leading into the CD input for the denon)
AV_Equipment_777Mode - String, [ Enum: On, Off ]
AV_FamRm_Power: Boolean
AV_FamRm_Source: String, [Enum: CD, XM, HTPC, 777, NA, NA2
AV_SetSource: Boolean

(These are to prep for dean's future state where he's creating global actions. I got triggers to fire off based on what this is set to)
Global_Action: String

(These are to trap the NuVo keypad presses)
NuvoButtonPushed: String
NuvoSourcePushed: String
NuvoZonePushed: String

(This one is to handle the IR, so I can have code in only the triggered events. The IR action just sets this string to "play", etc)
SendFamRmCommand: String

(These are to handle the various states for motion, so I can track more than just motion or not)
Status_Door_Back: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Door_Basement: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Door_Gate: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Door_InsideFront: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Door_OuterFront: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_BRNook: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_Den: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_Entry: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_FamRm: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_Hallway: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_KBR: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_Kitchen: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_LivDinRm: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]
Status_Motion_MBR: String, [Enum: None, Current, Recent, Error, SinceArmed]

(this is so I don't get a value of "recent" if there's been motion in <15mins from house arming)
Status_House_JustArmed: Boolean

well, for those of you using my templates, pull up the IntfEditor, open up the overlay_cd1 and overlay_dvd_ripped templates, and remove the OnLoad action.

as Dean told me in this thread, that's just going to make browsing slower by forcing a reload of the cover art WHEN YOU PRESS THE NEXT BUTTON.

Sorry folks, didn't realize that's when it did the reload of the cover art.

[Noober]

Are you able to control volume in zones 2 & 3 on the Denon?

Everything else is working for me, but not those 2. I am too much of a noob to figure it out on my own.

EDIT: Huh, how about that. Just noticed that the up/down doesn't work for me either. I can create a slider/show you how to create a slider, that works fine.

I'll open up a bug on the CQC support forum.

[Noober]

I am actually working on learning all the controls/widgets/etc. right now. I am still very new to all of this, and your work is a great help in getting started. As I have said before, the incredible support from Dean and the users on this forum were what pursuaded me to go with CQC.

Unfortunately, I don't have the technical skill that most of you have, so I am still trying to plod my way through :).

Thanks,

Rob

FYI - i'm going to walk cTay through some stuff over webex tonight, probalby around 8:30ish PST. I could even flip screens and do a slider on your screen for zone2/3 as you watch. Interested?

Dear IVB,

I decided to follow the instructions and try to simulate the system environment as close as possible (templates and drivers) even so I don’t have most of your physical equipment and ran into some issue that some probably related to my lake of knowledge.

Here there are:
(**A**)
I don't know the parameters (binding name of the target app control server and the target path if not in the system path) for the following drivers - I assume they reference each other if yes which related to which and in which way.
I was unable to finish the creation process for the following two:
2) SageTV - app control (core2-generic-sagetv-appcontrol)
4) TheaterTek - app control (core2-theatertek-appcontrol)

(3) SageTV - IP (core2-sagetv-tcp) // ref eachother
(5) TheaterTek - IP (core2-theatertek-ip) // =========

(**B**)
Couldn't find the drivers for:
(1) cqcaudio (core2-cqcaudio1) [ref media repo] // I figured out the driver's full name is CQSL Audio Player
(12) CQC Repo (sample-cqc-repo) // I figured out the full name is: CQCL Media Repository
(16) iScanHD scaler (sample-iscanHD) // I figured out the driver's full name is: DVDO iscan HD
(21) XM Preview (Jonathan's XMRO thingey) - 3 instances (for now available)
(sample-xmchannel1 // Jonathan's links to the driver are not active
// I figured out the driver's full name is: XM Channel Info
23) HDTrailers (HDTrailers)
// It's actually a custom driver Jonathan wrote, I think it's based off the dvdprofiler file. I
// haven't used that screen in weeks, so I can't quite remember.
24) VK011 (cqcserver-vk011) // ???
(25) IV (core2-iv) // I figured out the driver's full name is CQC Interface Viewer


(**C**)
Found the following zwave driver but it doesn't have methods to call (your program is calling)
(22) zWave (sample-zwave)
I tried to use CQC Admin Interface -> Administer Local Client Driver and when I added the z-wave, I can’t see anything but the text in the middle of it’s window that says: “This device seems to be off line this time”.
Can’t I specify the different rooms and their dimmers and switches? Or I need to have the Zwave USB interface to load into the CQC driver all the current configuration

Thank you,
Rocker

when you say you couldn't find the driver, do you mean you couldn't add it via the admin interface? Or something else?

for the app control server, did you actually install the app control server & give it a name when you installed CQC? If so, that's what you use. If not, you need to re-run the installer, and install the app control server.

For zWave, you need to actually have the zWAve module plugged in to see the local client driver.

When I say I couldn't find the driver I meant: I could find it in the list of drivers when I view the "CQC Admin Interface", "Manging CQC Host" dialog, "Add Driver" button.

I'll try to be more specific:
For the two items under (**A**) once I found them, I didn't have the parameters available in order to complete the installation (nothing in the pull down dialogs.

For the list of items under (**B**) I manged (using your presentation) to create the drivers marked with (?) but not the drivers marked as ?)

Regarding the zwave (**C**) I understand that I don't see anything in the client dialog since I need to have the USB interface.
Do you know about any drivers or solution to support the Leviton ViziaRF that has an RS2332 interface (currently using at my house)?

[IVB]

For A, when you ran the cqcsetup.cmd file, did you actually install the app server? What name did you use?

for vk011, the driver name is Temperature Monitor.

For zWave, the only thing I know about the leviton thingey is that the elk supports it. I don't know anything about it other than that.
