Some security panels also support digital I/O, and the outputs on those panels can be controlled
using the appropriate plug-in for the panel in use.
Advanced Programming
If scripting does not provide a robust enough programming environment, custom plug-ins may
be developed using the .NET development environment. Plug-Ins may be written in VB.NET or
C#. Contact HomeSeer Technologies for a software developer‟s kit that contains documentation
and sample plug-ins to get you started.
Operating System Restrictions
The HomeTroller-SE uses Windows XP Embedded as the system operating system. This allows
the system to be compatible with most Windows software. However, the operating system is a
subset of Windows XP Professional and only includes resources required to run the HomeSeer
software. This limitation may restrict what software packages may be installed on the system. It
is recommended that the user limit what third party software they install. For example, since the
unit includes the HSProtect technology, virus software is not required. If a firewall is required,
the Windows firewall may be enabled. Larger software packages such as Microsoft Office, will
most likely not install on this unit, or might not run properly. The following software packages
have been tested with the unit:
Apple iTunes
RealVNC (included with the unit)
Windows Media Player 10 (included with the unit)
All HomeSeer and 3
