Cool Things/New Ideas for EventGhost

Post by StgRawrface »

I'm making this post for a couple reasons. I know EventGhost is a powerful application, and would like to know what all of you use it for, and if it requires equipment, then what you need to make it work. I'm interested in what you've done, and want more ideas as to what I could do :)

Pizza icon on phone, tablet & Pronto remote, or keyboard shortcut that turns on the outside light for the delivery driver. Pauses the XBMC movie, or foxtel and turns on the lounge light and displays a message when the delivery arrives.

Turns off monitor when Foxtel(Pay TV) is selected on preamp and sets volume to 45

Re-enables monitor and sets volume louder when HTPC is being used.

Sets default audio to HDMI, and sets second display on when projector being used.

Shortcut keys to set light levels and turn on LAN printer

Keep monitor from sleeping when music being played; HDMI loses connection otherwise

Stair icon on remote/keyboard shortcut which turns off preamp, projector, etc. turns off monitor, then turns lights off after 10 minutes, disarms the door sensor so that lights don't come back on when going upstairs out the door.

Turn off monitor on remote access connect

Pause, FForward Foxtel if preamp detects Foxtel is selected, even if the wrong remote is used, eg. pause on the XBMC screen

Sleep timer on HTPC which turns off TV, preamp & fan or heater after 30 min interval steps

Run XBMC on waking up from sleep, keypress, or remote press

Equipment: A Vera 3 and USB-UIRT with Z-Wave dimmers, sensors and modules.

I made this today.
It's for removing a websites text formatting (1st copy removes all spaces from between words = Not good) when I "borrow" text from it many many many times a day.
It's F ing slick if you ask me.
I impress myself ;)
