Folks,I promised that I was working on this, and here is a screen capture of the proof of concept of Indigo working via FrontRow.
What you are seeing right now, is just a display of the status of the devices in Indigo.I still have significantly more work to do on it, including figuring out the best way to handle the storage of the user / server credentials, and other issues…But, we are certainly closer than we were a few days ago.
Here’s the v1.00 revision of the Indigo Security Script sample.
The Changes included here are:
* Fixed bug in the Chime code that would not reset the Chime_Last_Sounded_ms value properly.
* Added the date back to the XXXXX_Last_update value.

The Adventures of Systems Boy!: Delayed ACK Startup Item for Intel Macs: ”
Delayed ACK Startup Item for Intel Macs
MacFixit just reported about troubles the new Intel-based Macs are having with network speeds, particularly AFP connections to, of all things, other Macs. The solution, they report, is to set the delayed_ack property to 0. In order for this change to survive a reboot, however, they recommend editing /etc/rc. The problem with this is that, often, edits made to /etc/rc will be overwritten by future updates to Mac OSX. In my experience, such modifications are better handled with a startup item, which is also a lot easier to add and remove. So I’ve suggested as much to the fine folks over at MacFixit, and I’ve even put my money where my mouth is. I’m offering to those who need it this delayedACK Startup Item, hand made by yours truly.
The linked disc image contains the delayedACK Startup Item, and also includes an installer and an uninstaller for the Startup Item.
Enjoy, you lucky Intel Mac owners (of which, alas, I am not one… Yet…)
UPDATE:
“
Here are two templates in Pages for users of SmartHome’s Home Automation tools…
They need some clean up, but I whipped them up fairly quickly….
(The Control Linc shows it’s roughness).
If you modify, or fix them up. Please let me know… (and send me a revised copy)
