EventGhost

Do you have a guide to set up something with the ESP8266 board? Would be nice for something to do in the future. It sounds like I would need to splice cables and do some soldering.

So I already have a Flirc so if all else fails I will just drop back to this thing. It will consume an extra USB port ...

if you happen to get an MCE remote if you get the one made by pinnacle it comes with an ir receiver/blaster that you can use if all else fails. or you can spend a couple of dollars and get an ESP8266 and an IR Receiver and I can give you the code to put onto it to receive IR codes and send them ...

Someone in that link said the nuc probably only worked with that one remote also. So just to confirm the nuc receives rc6 codes from the remote but then modifies them through that it driver and that is why EG can't see them? I can look into this more but do you think the easiest solution is to get ...

I'm aware that the IR receivers integrated into the NUC require the RC6/eHome-style remote, like a Windows Media Center remote. The remote I am using is a Roku clone remote, which I am using to keep things simplified. Under the Generic HID settings, there were four entries, which I tested all four ...

Hi all, I saw an old thread that referenced how to use Intel's built-in IR with EventGhost. This looks like it only applied to the gen 5 unit that uses a Nuvotron IR receiver? The gen 6 uses a ITECIR Infrared Receiver (SIO2). I followed that guide to add a generic HID but it doesn't seem to be ...

Thanks, that is perfect. Sorry for long reply, account got locked out and took this long to get it working again.

Hi all, can someone explain if this plugin returns anything? I know it can be used in the EventGhost GUI to allow actions to proceed if a window is found or not. In a Python script, I tried to do

print(eg.plugins.Window.FindWindow(None, u'Untitled - Notepad', None, None, None, None, False, 0.0, 0 ...

@kgschlosser Thanks for taking the time to write all that out! You could have just pointed me to a Google search!

What @topix suggested is what I was looking for, using the dictionary. In my hobby programming I have not run across this concept before. What I Macgyver'd was the following ...

Hi all, need some guidance. I'm trying to set up something like a 2D array but not sure how.


arrayHeader = [...]
array1 = [...]
array2 = [...]
array3 = [...]


All the arrays are of the same length. There will be an underlying condition that determines whether array1, array2, or array3 is ...

You can access the `eg.event` object from Python to get more information about the event that triggered your macro/action. To answer your direct question, everything after the "HTTP." can be found in `eg.event.suffix`.

I tried to document it all on this wiki page ; please let me know if you still ...

I'm building a remote to control actions on a PC through the webserver component. Rather than making a bunch of macros for each HTTP.command, I noticed that I can use HTTP.* to capture every HTTP event. Can I extract what is in the * portion in order to make the programming in Python easier? I could ...

I was wondering if EventGhost had some sort of function that can auto-save anything that appears in the log (with timestamp and event data). I'm trying to troubleshoot a system and I think it might be useful if I can see what's going on right before a problem occurs. No need to worry about getting ...

Thanks; didn't know EG will match events like that. Good to know.

Thank you for letting me know, Prinz!

I was looking through the sample configuration file that comes with EventGhost. Under "Start Zoom Player" there is an Event called DVD, and under "Start Winamp" there's another event called Music. Can someone explain how each of there events is triggered?

Thanks,
