Delay sounds more like IIS related things, like worker processes being killed after x minutes of inactivity which need to be started up again when new requests have to be serviced. What IIS version are you using?

I'm using the standard Homeseer server with build in webserver. (Windows XP)
Bastiaan What is the display time on your remote after a idle time?

I am runnning on WinXP SP3 32 bit. (IIS6) quadcore but the Virtual machine gets only two cores with 1024gig of mem. under HyperV on WSRV2008.

Time from clicking on the icon on the home screen till displaying 8 sensor readings: less than a second. (to quick for my thumb on the stopwatch).

okay that sounds good..
I have the same time when i pres is for the second time...or when the cache application is running.

Robert (digit) and Ed
did some development few months ago for two way communication using TenHsServer.
Project is on hold Robert has no Homeseer ed no Pronto.
Hope you can finis the project.


@Ed
Do you see chance to build in the username and password somewhere in the url?
I like to password protect my HS also for local usage.

restricting on certain ip's would allready be nice.. (a person still has to come on your network first..)

I have already some other people on my netwerk..
when the password is enabled for local access they cant access the Homeseer server...but also my pronto can't access it.

Thoughts on userid/password:

HS allows you to define users with the following Access rights: Guest, Normal, Admin. I could add Userid and Password fields to the URL (not the most secure approach, but better than nothing). If not valid userid entered, assume Guest level access. I would have to supply a setup option in which you could specify the level of access required for tenHsServer to return valid responses. The defualt would be Guest level access. Thoughts?

for accessing the oregon sensor data is guest level access okay. (device status & value)
This can be done from the url.
for the other options you will need more.

Okay, after thinking about this, it seems that instead of having tenHsServer password protected, that your application should provide that function on your remote device. What might be helpful is if I provide a function to take a userid, and return it's access level as defined in Homeseer. Thoughts??

That will work:)

Added the following functions to tenHsServer: GetUsers, ValidateUser, and LoggedInUser.

Thanks for the update.
Looks good

I will test it later today on the Pronto

@Ed,
I have installed the latest version.
From remote location first doing log off

Then requesting the url
?t=4375&f=ValidateUser&d=user03&a=mypass

Validate user will only work when the user is already logedin.
How can i login?

I can use ValidateUser for any defined user, logged in or not, and it works correctly. Try GetUsers to see which userids are defined. Or, set up another via HS Setup/Web Users. I get "True" for d=guest&a=guest

Ed,
What I'm looking for is that I can login from my Pronto
in the same line of the request also send the login information.
