Thread: Ever control lights or an outside electronic with FLASH?

    Ever control lights or an outside electronic with FLASH?

    I'm sure it must have been done, but I'm having trouble finding anything about it.

    I was looking to be able to control lights (either on/off or dimmer) by sending commands from Flash out to 'something', but I'm not sure what that 'something' should be code-wise.

    Has anyone here ever attempted it, or seen examples of it being done?

    moved to the coffee lounge, as this is not really a Flash help question, and Im sure someone in there will have some suggestions for you.

    Google for 'home automation software'.

    Unless the control software has an API, there's no way to create a Flash-front end. I think it'd be highly unlikely.

    There's an AS3 library to interface with a lot of their devices. I saw a demo at a flash conference and it was pretty neat.
