What program are you using on your touchscreen.

Homeseer, or are you building something self.

I want to build something in a webinterface(PHP) or Delphi.

Not sure what the latest status is but least year HCB was developing a interface for the HCB what was based on Ajax.
I have seen it on a touch screen.

I thing it don't matter wahat type of interface i use, only i have to now with's commando's i need.
With a mysql database and a webbrowser it must by possibel to change or see the status!
But who has experience with API?

The commands that are supported are easily taken from the HCB's API page itself (http://your address/API/).
Point your browser there, hover the mouse over the command you're interested in, and in the status bar appears the exact command you eed to execute that function.
Any application able to 'get' those url's can control the HCB and its devices and macro's.

The http://your address/API/ is a good suggestion. Before I found this article, I found out which command the normal HCB webinterfase uses:

The generic line is:
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... ID='+devID;

Below some examples for Xanura device E02
ON
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... ericCode=2
OFF
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... ericCode=2
60% DIMMED
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... centage=60
BRIGHTER
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... ericCode=2
DIM
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... ericCode=2

Not yet tested, but would work I assume:
ALN - All Lights ON
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... tterCode=E
ALF - All Lights OFF
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... tterCode=E
AUF - All Units OFF
http://your.HCB.address/config/hdrv_a10 ... tterCode=E

But what I was unable to find so far (for both the webinterface as the API interface) is how to get status information on a specific Xanura device/actor. <b>Does anyone know the commands to request actor status information?</b>
