Thanks for the reply sybershot, do you know if it is possible to use and talk to Hal without having the interface up, maybe just have it minimised or something?

Thanks

Hi lightspeed thanks for the reply yeah it was just something i was looking at doing and wondering if any one else had done this, but i agree after the Iron man trilogy the is a big demand for something like hals brain with the home automation.

on another note i am just about to get a new computer do you know if Hal is compatible with windows 8?

Thanks

Hi all, i am just after a little help and guidance, i know it been mentioned on here a few times regarding Home automation so i home i am not going over old ground and if i am any direction to a older post would be more than appreciated.

Anyway i was wondering how difficult i would be to get Hal to execute Home automation commands.
i know there is software like mControl V3, homeseert ect but can Hal Be integrated into this software easily?

If so which is the best software & hardware to use with Hal for easiest of use and least amount of coding?

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I use hal as a P.A he is great for reminding me about appointments and keeping phone numbers ect... but i was wondering if there is a program out there that can help me more:

I run a advertising company where we have 10 websites with 10 difrrent email addresses when some one enquires on one website i.e ford the email comes through to the ford email address then i have to forward that email to 5x of my customers is there a way where i can get hal to see which email address the enquiry came in on and automatically send it out to the correct 5 customers? for each email account there is a 5 diffrent custmers is this something hal can do?

Hope this makes sence and thanks for your help in advance

hi mac i dont think hal was designed for that i know a few people have had a go at home automation dont know how they got on. Hal is more as a pa great at rembering dates,tele numbers ect thats what i use have for any way you might be better looking at soming like http://sites.google.com/site/projectjanet/

this is more of what you are after i think with home automation maby you can intergrate this with Hal that would be cool
