Skip, quick update. I have the new version running on my Droid X (Gingerbread). It connects to my websever and queries the uptime, sunset, etc. So, it's working for me.
It's to be some time before I can go any further as far as customizing the config file to get some actual control and feedback. I'll post an update when I do.

Thanks for that feedback! I am starting on a user interface for menu editing so that you won't have to write the xml file and upload
it any more. All of the customization would be done on the phone. I think most people will find that a lot easier to work with.

Excellent.
FYI - I installed the app on my Kindle Fire and it works. I'm getting the same basic functionality as my phone. Just another data point. Ok, enough screwing aroud at work...

Hi Gang (and especially Skip),
So I installed the app, pulled the XML File and edited all my info into the header. Loaded to phone and loaded in PH Connector.
I am using a Motorola Triumph - Android v2.2.2
App comes up fine, loads config fine, looks good (not HTML), but is not connecting. Double-checked all the settings, etc.
I have a NAT firewall in between the outside world and the PH server. I have used the appropriate outside address/port for PH web server (which is enabled and has been tested using regular computer). I have also passed port 8500 (PH Socket Server) through to the server as well.
PH SERVER INFO:
Web Server Port: 80
Socket Server Port: 8500
OUTSIDE PORT INFO:
PH Server Port: 8000 (translated to 80 and passed to PH server)
PH Socket Port: 8500 - direct pass.
The PH Connector is showing "Error Connecting to PowerHome Server".
I'm gonna keep mucking with this because I think the value here is HUGE, but wanted to know if there's something obvious I'm missing. Glad to PM you the XML file if you want to try it.
Here is the XML Header (with usernames/passwords removed):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Preference
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
PhWebServer="http://www.yjprod.com:8000"
PhSocketServerAddress="http://www.yjprod.com:8500"
PhSocketServerPort="8500"
PhWebServerUsername=""
PhWebServerPassword=""
PhWebServerAuthMethod="cookie"
PhSocketServerUsername=""
PhSocketServerPassword=""
version="1.0.0">

BINGO! It was "basic" authentication versus "cookie".
Alright, gonna play now - will keep you posted on progress.

Hi syonker,
Try changing your PhWebServerAuthMethod to "basic". Your port forwarding
looks fine.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Hey Skip - if the app crashes, is there a way I can get you any useful information?

Yeah, it definitely seems to crash every time I'm doing some sort of socket operation. Is it the ":8500" on the tail end of my sPhSocketServerAddress XML entry? Gonna try removing it to see, but wondering if this is a problem or not.

Crashes?!? Ugh, there shouldn't be any crashes. I haven't looked at the code
in some time though.
Anyway, there is a lot of system logging to logcat, so if you download the
free alogcat app, you can filter for phca and see what happened.
Iirc, the only problems I saw were with malformed xml configuration files.
If you continue to have problems, send me your config file and I will if I
can figure out what it wrong.
Anyway, glad you got it working! You can continue to post here for support,
or you can email me directly at skip@pelorus.org.

Yeah, you should not put the port number in the
PhSocketServerAddress setting. But that shouldn't make it
crash either. I will take a look at the code to be sure.

Hi Skip. I removed the port number - same problem. Captured the log (the portion you care about I suspect) and e-mailed it to you along with a copy of my XML file - which is pretty primitive. Basically your example, plus the server credentials.
It crashes with any socket server operation, and on its own when left alone for a minute or so.

OK, I will look into it.
Tell me, does the bare-bones sample work? But then it
crashes when you add in the server info?

The barebones sample throws up a "Error Connecting to PowerHome Server" but does not crash. It was after I added the connection info that it went goofy. Will be interested to see what Android version you're using and whether my config file works in your platform (if you try it, that is - which you are welcome to).
I have a Motorola Triumph with Android v2.2.2

Hi Gang,
Skip's been doing some really good work on this app - found a few stability/performance issues and tuned them, and got a few glitches out of the way. My guess is you'll see him announce a new version soon, and I encourage you to update and play.

Ok....now my "PowerHome Greenness" status is about to show. I don't do a lot of work with these things outside of the line editor in PH, but who can tell me what I've done wrong with the following code that's failing?
<page
pagename="spencer"
pagetitle="Spencer Custom"
statustext="Family Room Sconce: %family_room_sconce%
">
<refresh>
<update url="ph_getinsteonstat('FAMILY ROOM SCONCE')" variablename="family_room_sconce"></update>
</refresh>
<actions>
<action label="Turn Family Room Sconce On" url="ph_insteonraw('PLMCTLR1','FAMILY ROOM SCONCE',17,255)" return_type="dialog"></action>
<action label="Turn Family Room Sconce Off" url="ph_insteonraw('PLMCTLR1','FAMILY ROOM SCONCE',19,255)" return_type="dialog"></action>
</actions>
</page>

Sigh, it was error in my code. I forgot to url encode the
incoming URL here (see the spaces). Anyway, it's fixed now.
Syonker has been helping me troubleshoot and has been quite
helpful. Thanks for being my guinea pig :) And thanks for
the props earlier :)
I wish I wasn't such a lousy programmer. Maybe someday I
will get half of the bugs out of this code.

We'll get 'er figured out Skip...don't fret. I'll keep testing if you'll keep debugging.

Skip has done an awesome job of getting this app pretty rock solid over the past few days, including a few new features and goodies to boot. I am extremely excited and have had a lot of luck getting this thing humming in my environment.
When he comes out with the next version, I strongly recommend everyone who's using it upgrades, and those who haven't tried it yet to give it a shot.

Anybody know what's wrong with this?
ph_geturl("http://phc-a.net/testsend.php?username={PHCA_USER }&password={PHCA_PASS}&varname=temperature&varvalue=" + ph_htmlescape("{TEMPNOW}"))
I have a devil of a time getting all these syntactical things kneaded out.

Yeah, you have a space between PHCA_USER and the closing
brace. That part is not html escaped, so nothing after the
space is being sent.
