Scriptin
« on: February 17, 2006, 10:21:03 PM »

The macros and timers are supposed to be
easy to use, but they are very combersom
and slow to set up.  I would like to see a
scripting language option made available.
I really think it would be much quicker to
program and analyze macro logic.

Richard:
You're back in the Dark Ages! :-)

Virtually no users today want to have to
learn scripting and type up a script, even if
it is 10 times faster to program.  It's GUI,
GUI, GUI all the way.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

Charles Sullivan: Richard maybe in the Dark
Ages and true many users don't want to type
up scripts but they'd be the first to use
one made by someone else. :)

I sure would like to see a simplified "C" compilier, then I wouldn't have to chain macros for else conditions.

richard & emil: Have you looked into the SDK?
Scripting was my first go at SDK now it turned me into a programer! :o ::) who'd of guessed it! ;D
I read somewhere a user was able to do this, maybe not yet to the extent you'd like. But who knows all what you can/can't do with it!  I don't think even X10 dreamed it would be used  in the ways some people have come up with.( I think it cut down on the plugin possibilities)

I did for a bit but I would like to run standalone without the computer, don't see where the SDK allows this.

Your right as of yet the SDK doesn't alow downloading to the interface. :'( But if your planing on using cams or the internet the Cm15A has to be pluged into the PC all the time anyways. ::) ;) :)
