I’m just getting started with home remote and have a minor problem.
I have a page with most of my light and control them by use of sliders.
My problem is that if any of the lights are adjusted from other sources (buttons or events) this is not reflected on the slider. I would think is would be easy to get this to look at the value from homeseer (the same I use to control), but I can’t get this to work.
What if you bind HSValue to a Label? Does it show the updated value?
If the Labels don’t update, then neither will the Sliders. Make sure those are displaying the values you expect to see.
Did you ever figure this one out? I’m having the same issue… I’ve bound a slider to “BrettSOfficeSpeakerVolume.HSValue” which has a range of 0-100 - this works great… but if I adjust the volume from outside of The Home Remote app, the slider doesn’t read the updated HSValue and adjust itself accordingly. Any suggestions?
@bill I’ve created a test label as you mentioned and I can’t figure out how to get it to pull the HSValue after a change. It pulls it properly one time, but does not update upon changing the value/slider.
The Home Remote will only do a full status refresh on initial connect. After that it uses “getdeviceschanged”. If you aren’t seeing the Label update, that means your device isn’t sending change notifications. “getdeviceschanged” helps keep things fast & efficient.

Thank you, @bill! Guess I have some more learning to do… just started digging into this yesterday and have come a long way already - really enjoying this product! Have been using Allonis for years. Anyway, I was trying to grab the volume level from Homeseer because I couldn’t seem to get the Russound plugin working properly with home remote. When I click to add the Russound plugin, I’m prompted for the IP address, then after clicking OK I get “Specified Method is not supported”. Any documentation that may help for this? Couldn’t find any docs on the Russound plugin.
Thanks!
It’s probably been 5 years since I’ve done anything with the built-in Russound integration. I no longer have access to a Russound system so that hasn’t been receiving regular updates like the rest of the devices. I’d recommend trying the Plugin that @Jimk72 wrote. His is more up-to-date & supports more features.

If you want to use the built-in integration, here’s an example you can download. This does not support Device objects or Templates. James’ plugin does support those features.
