PHWMCmd is for use on the PH machine and PHSSCmd is for local or remote use.
Which one are you using? I've never tried the first one.

So, you have updated the ini file with your info (ip, port, and encoded id/password)? Also, you have enabled the Socket Server in PH?

How are you testing? Command line or a shortcut?

all testing is currently being done on the local machine (via) vnc and using the command line, I am also just sending the basic command from the readme...
phsscmd.exe ph_usermessage("This is a test.")
the command line goes back to a prompt and nothing comes up in PH or windows, not even an error

Todd,
Using what you posted above, nothing should appear in PowerHome or Windows. The ph_usermessage function will make an entry in the PowerHome eventlog. To test, just open the PowerHome Status window, try the phsscmd, and watch the realtime eventlog window. You should see your message appear. The phsscmd will just go back to a command prompt and PowerHome will give no other indication.
If however, you don't get the eventlog message, check things like Zonealarm or other personal firewalls from blocking access to the port you've set the Socket Server up on.
Hope this helps,
Dave.

I'm actually getting the same prob as Mustang. Here's the rub... there's nothing coming up in the event log. I double checked everything, the ip address, the user and pass, the port.. everything is set up correctly but it's just not responding for some reason.
I don't have any trouble pinging the ph server. The machine also seems to ack the request when I use a browser to test the port.

Guerrand,
If nothing is coming up in the eventlog and everything else is properly configured, then you most likely have an error in your passed formula. Try something very simple like:
ph_usermessage('TEST')
Note the single quotes instead of double quotes. Also, make sure that you've enabled the loggin of User Messages in the eventlog section of the PowerHome Explorer. You could also try something simple like:
ph_macro('YOUR MACRO ID')
and see if that runs and logs as well.
Let me know,
Dave.

Unfortunately there is no resopnse to ph_usermessage('test')
No errors on either side. I checked again using a web browser and this is what the server responded.
PHSSP/1.0 500 Server Error
Server: PowerHome Socket Server/1.03.4.9
Content-type: text
Content-Length: 52
Request Type GET / HTTP/1.1 not supported by server.
So the ss is definately listening.
I rechecked the address, user, pass and port and all the settings are matched.
Any other ideas?

Guerrand,
I know it's been awhile but is the situation still the same?
Yes, it looks as if the Socket Server is definately listening. You may also try running the phsscmd.exe on the same machine as PowerHome and setting the port and IP in the phsscmd.ini to 127.0.0.1 and the port that the PowerHome webserver is running. Then try making a request and seeing if the phsscmd.exe is sending data as the request should show in the PowerHome eventlog as a web request.
One other point is that the password and userid in the phsscmd.ini file is "in the clear" and should not be encrypted in any way.
Let me know,
Dave.

Sorry for the response delay.
I tested it on the sever and there is no response as well. I tried it on the web port and did get a request in the activity log.
I did some experiments with the format of the commands and got this to work thru the run prompt.
"C:\Program Files\PHSSCMD\phsscmd.exe" ph_x10btn('tube',3,0)
However the same format doesn't work for the cmd window.
I should be able to work with this but I'm not sure why it's not responding to the normal phsscmd ph_usermessage('test') as it did when I had it first installed (before the big crash I had a while back involving a complete reinstall)
Anyway, as I said I might be able to work with it as is but if you have any ideas as to why it's acting this way I'm all ears.
Once again BIG thx for any help!

Guerrand,
The
"C:\Program Files\PHSSCMD\phsscmd.exe" ph_x10btn('tube',3,0)
looks fine and I would expect it to work as it does. When using the "run" prompt, you need to have the program command within the double quotes if the directory or program structure contains spaces. It should also still work if you surround the 'tube' with double quotes as well as they should not interfere.
Why it's not working through the command prompt, Im not sure. Im sure it has something to do with spaces and such. To verify, I would open the command prompt and change to the directory that the phsscmd.exe file resides in. Then just type:
phsscmd ph_x10btn("TUBE",3,0)
and it should work as well. I would have to do some research on the proper format for launching programs with commandlines through the command prompt.
Dave.

The short version of the command doesn't work in the cmd prompt either. Don't worry about it though. It seems that most programs that I want to use the ss with allow me to execute it correctly as long as I use the long quoted version I mentioned.

Ok,
I'll be doing some testing with it in the near future and will let you know what I find out.
