tenDisplayHsDevices

tenDisplayHsDevices is a utility program that runs on either a HomeSeer server, or another computer on a LAN connected to your HomeSeer server.  It displays HomeSeer Device properties in realtime, aiding script and plugin development.  This program is an enhancement to the code created by Richard Helmke.

Features:

Can be run on a development computer connected via LAN to your HomeSeer server

Realtime display of all Device changes (value, status, or devicestring)

Displays detail device information for the selected device

Double-click entry in Events list displays that device's details

Refreshes detail device display whenever that device is updated in realtime

Can run multiple copies of the utility to monitor multiple devices simultaneously

 

When tenDisplayHsDevices is run, it displays a connection dialog.  Enter either the IP address of your HomeSeer server or a network name for the server.  If you are running the utility on your HomeSeer server, you can enter localhost
