hi,
Just received my Hub today. It's great. I was hoping for version 2.0 so that I could use http requests in an event. Any timeline for version 2.0
Thanks
Gary



We're getting it done in the next couple of weeks, and your hub will auto update when it's ready! You won't have to do anything manually.

Hey Chris, I ordered back in April and haven't received a shipping notification yet. Has it shipped?

I haven't gotten a shipping notification either -- any chance I could get a tracking number? Thanks!

Got surprised with a delivery today. Thanks Chris.

Do Nest Protect devices (smoke detectors) count against the 10 allowed? If so, I believe I hit the 10 count... patiently waiting for how to activate our licenses... ;-)



They do... we had a plan to send out redemption codes by using your Kickstarter IDs, until we realized that you don't actually have access to that. Working on an alternate now, but if you'd like, shoot us an email at info at castleos com and I can manually send you one if the auto one hasn't arrived when by the time you're playing with it next...

Hi Chris,

Can you now disclose what are the new secret features of CastleOS and Hub?



Hey Andrey!

The first two secret features are:

1) remote troubleshooting built into the app and hub. It allows us to remotely troubleshoot issues you may be having, as well as allowing dealers to remotely troubleshoot their clients.

2) our stretch goal of security camera DVR support is indeed coming! All hubs will be receiving an update in the next couple of months for that feature. You'll be able to view and record and common IP camera, such as Foscam, Axis, and the dozens of similar camera manufacturers.

More in the works but can't announce it yet wink

Hi Chris,


I haven't gotten a shipping notice or tracking number yet either. Can you let me know if my hub has shipped yet and what the tracking number is?

Thanks

Well, we're waiting to all units have shipped this week. All the US orders have shipped



So does that mean I should have already received shipping notification?



Hey Matt! Your hub was delivered today! Have fun!!



Indeed it was! Apparently my wife got it from UPS and hid it from me...or at least put it somewhere that I wouldn't immediately find it until she decided to mention it late last night...

Cheers!

Hi Chris
Thanks for the information. Everything came to a screeching halt this morning on the hub and the fan was running fast.There were window updates going on and slowed things down to the point that nothing could run properly. Finally I power reset as it wouldn't shutdown completely on request. After the power reset the updates completed and all is well now. The fan is normal again.
What I really would like to know is how I can play a wav file as an action in an event. I searched the forum but couldn't find anything that explained how to do it at least not that I could understand. Need scripting for dummies examples. Also as I have some Python scripts that run on a Raspberry Pi. I was wondering if Python3 could be loaded into windows and the scripts be used by CastleOS.
Thanks for any assistance.
Gary

A lot of updates probably had backed up, so it had to push through those. Now that it's complete you shouldn't see that again.

For Python, I'm sure there is a way, but I'm honestly not sure of the specifics, that's not my area of expertise. But using the C# scripts in CastleOS, you should be able to trigger any other script to run on your system.

For the WAV file, that's a pretty simple one script wise. Just add this code:

SoundPlayer simpleSound = new SoundPlayer(strAudioFilePath);
simpleSound.Play();
Where strAudioFilePath is the path and filename, i.e. c:\foldername\filename.wav

Thanks Chris.
Just one more thing. Where or how do I enter the script. Then I will be onto scripting.
Thanks

Go to Settings and expand file management. That's how you upload it to the system. But you can develop it your local system before uploading. Attached is the example script.


The "tricky" part for you is because you want to use a local audio file, you're going to have to copy that file to the hub manually the old fashioned way by accessing Windows on the hub..

Did my hub shipped yet? I've not seen any update and I ordered mine on the first of this month.
