Lock Homegate in Operation Mode ?

I'm going to use Homegate as a colour touch control solution, i would like to be able to lock it in Operation mode to stop user either accidently or on purpose CTRL-S'ing it.

I worry at the idea of the end user pressing buttons and ending up deleting/modifying or doing other damage.

Any advice appreciated.

When I played with the runtime version of Schedule plus this gave you exactly what you are looking for

 

Just set up the access control so that only people with the right access level (generally supervisor level or above) can exit simulation mode.

 

Thats even better Darren
BUT just riding my hobbyhorse
Why can we have runtime Homegate?

Cheers Darren - thats works nicely.

This has led me to another question - i have Homegate in the start up which is fine - are there any switches that will force Homegate to start in operation mode and at a preselected user level.

This would then create the ideal app for end-user use for me

Dean,

Here is the switches available on auto start-up

? /cgate selects whether C-Bus communications are to be opened with C-Gate.
? /www determines whether to connect via the World Wide Web

? /jpeg determies the compression of jpeg images for www access. Options are low, medium, high or best (default is high).
? /operate puts the program in Operation Mode
? /nosplash shows the splash screen for only the minimum amount of time
? /syncschedules performs a Synchronise to Schedules after connection to C-Gate
? /log=enable enables the logging
? /log=save enables the logging and saves it to a log file

? /log=append enables the logging and appends it to the log file
? /autosave sets the autosave feature on, with the default duration (15 minutes)
? /autosave=time sets the autosave on with the specified time (in seconds)

The ExeFileName must be present, and must be first. The FileName is optional, but if used, must be second. All other parameters are optional and may occur in any order. There must be a space between each parameter.

Examples :

"C:\Clipsal\HomeGate.exe" "C:\Clipsal\HomeGate\Projects\MyHouse.ctd"

will load the file MyHouse.ctd at start-up

"C:\Clipsal\HomeGate.exe" "C:\Clipsal\HomeGate\Projects\MyHouse.ctd" /cgate /log=save

will load the file MyHouse.ctd at start-up and connect via C-Gate, with logging enabled.

"C:\Clipsal\HomeGate.exe" "C:\Clipsal\HomeGate\Projects\MyHouse.ctd" /cgate /www /jpeg=high

will load the file MyHouse.ctd at start-up and connect via C-Gate, with web access with high quality jpeg images



The one you are after is - \operate

 

Thanks Peter that excellent !!

And incredibly quick too
