EventGhost

Hello,

I am very new to Eventghost and programming, I know some basic VB.net and thats all. I am currently messing around with Eventghost and see what I can do with it. I just got myself an old laptop that is running XP and it will be on 24/7.
So here is what I want to do and need help with - I do not ask anyone to write me the code or anything, just point me in the right direction or tell me that it's to damn hard for me to do, heh.

I have:

2x computers with Eventghost - 1 old laptop that is the "base", the other computer I shut off during night.
2x screens on my normal PC.
1x TV thats connected to my normal PC with some normal speakers that I have on the side of the TV.
--------

So what I want to do is,

make my Laptop turn on my normal PC with WOL, then turn on the TV (I don't have IR sender yet, but will get it, I also think my TV supports turn on over HDMI) and switch the output sound from my headset, to my TV over HDMI (The TV sound is always disabled if I don't watch any movies, then I put it on manually) and then play me a text with TTS, lets say something like this: "Hello sir Awesome, the clock is now 08:00 and the weather is minus 2 degrees. Have a lovely day". So basically the weather updates itself from a plugin or app everyday - and it plays that to me as an alarm clock, which I have set the day before to what time I want the computer to start and run these plugins.


Is this even at all possible? And if it is, how manageable is it for a beginner?

Thanks in advance for any answer, and sorry if my English is bad, not the best describer either, but I tried

Yes, all of this is possible, but will require using a combination of many plugins to work together in Eventghost and a considerable amount of your time and effort to learn about Eventghost and Python.

Your wishlist is too long and broad for anyone to start giving you specific advice.
If you want to have a go at it, you should start searching this forum on the basic building blocks that will be required, including, but not limited to, network sending/receiving plugin, wake on lan function, suntracker plugin (for weather information), Speech plugin for text to speech, Schedulghost for creating daily schedules.
For the python scripts, there are numerous good tutorials on the net if you do a google search.
