Greetings,

I have a handful of various scripts which run within the Linux OS to manage some features of my home automation and interact with the various servers and computers I have scattered throughout my house.  Is it possible to call OS level scripts from HomeGenie?

Thanks!

I'm also interested in calling OS processes from HG (Windows OS).

Can you give an example?

Thank you!

Hi,

hg shouldn't allow this.
The only allowed way for communicating with other applications and other "things" should be using helper classes.
For example using a tcp connection or an http one.
You're still free to hack =) let me know if any of you achieve that.

Cheers,
