Dave, I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or what, but I went into control center and then went into design mode, made changes to items on the screen and then saved it. But for some reason changes do not display when I reopen cc. However the changes still appear when I go back into design mode????? Not sure what is happening... Thanks for any help, in advance....Nick

I have seen this on occasion but have not been able to reliably duplicate it.
Have you tried it a few times? Maybe we can zero-in on it.

Try this...
Open the cc, go to design mode, close the original cc, make changes, click close, then say yes to saving.

How about...
Open the cc, go to design mode, close the original cc, make changes, click save, click close.
Also, try the web cc and let me know what you see.

Tony, I can ONLY get the changes to showup if I follow the previous instructions and then close powerhome and restart it. I tried closing just the cc in design mode and opening it back up, but that did not work either. Have to close and restart powerhome.....
Another question: I use the following formula in a macro to show the statuses on the CC on a immeduiate basis, the colors work alright under these circomstances, but cant change button sizes or positions and see the updates....
I use 2 colors: Yellow for on
transparent for OFF.... I would also like a lighter yellow color for DIM.....What would the RGB combinations be on the formula for those colors....AND is there a way to see the current assigned RBG values for a color????

sorry.... here is the formula, I forgot it:
ph_setccbtn ( "HOUSECODE B", 2, " ", -1, -1, -1, -1, if( ph_getx10stat( "A11") = 1, rgb ( 255, 255, 255 ), rgb ( 0, 0, 0 ) ), if( ph_getx10stat( "A11") = 1, rgb ( 200, 0, 0 ), rgb ( 0, 200, 0 ) ), -1 )

Nick,
First the easy question. Just go to Maintenance->Custom Colors for a simple color design screen that will give you both the RGB and HTML color values as well as let you set the built-in custom colors.
Now the Control Center...I don't know why that would happen. If I have this right, you open the CC Design, make changes, save the changes, exit the design and the CC, and reopen the CC. The changes are not there, but if you go into Design mode again, then you can see the previous saved changes. The only way to make the changes show in the CC is to restart PowerHome.
I'll have to do some investigating on this one and try to determine what would cause this.
Nevermind...I think I figured it out. Open the PowerHome Explorer and go to PowerHome->Setup->Control Center. I'll bet your "Auto Clear Changes" setting is "At Startup". Change it to "At Startup and CC Open" and reinitialize. This should take care of the problem.
Dave.

Also dave, How can I programatically show the updates in the currently displayed cc....do I have to close/open it to update the display, or is there another way to programatically (Macro) show updates in the cc????

Dave: I was set to "At Startup and CC Open".  I'll see if I can nail anything down.

Nick,
Glad the CC is working for you now.
There is no RGB equivalent for transparent color however the color value is: 553648127. Just substitute this value for wherever you were using the rgb() function.
The ph_setcc??? functions should update the client CC automatically...no refresh necessary. I just tested on my machine and it worked as expected. One thing that I did find is that you MUST have a space in front of the "-" of a negative number. Looking at your formula above though looks as if you're already doing this. As long as you don't get a "!" returned and get a "0", then the clent CC should be updated immediately. The web CC will need to be refreshed though. PowerHome cannot trigger a remote browser session to autmatically refresh unless something like a Java applet was used maintaining a constant connection.
Tony,
Keep me informed of anything you find out.
Dave.
