AutoIt communications with COM to another program

[JohnWPB]

Hello all you AI guru's! I am having a problem passing info to a home automation program called Home Seer. I have read through the help files, and just can not seem to get the syntax correct. I know it has to be something simple, but it seems to be a problem with passing multiple commands on a single line, in the way the quotes or parentheses are formatted.

First I opened communication with Home Seer with the following line:

$hs = ObjCreate("homeseer.application")

I then can get the status of a device, and the msg box show that correctly with the following lines:

$MyDevice = $hs.devicestatus("A3")
if $MyDevice = 3 then $MyStatus = "Off"
if $MyDevice = 2 then $MyStatus = "On"
if $MyDevice = 4 then $MyStatus = "Dimmed"
MsgBox(0, "Status", $MyStatus)

so far all is working to communicate with Home Seer to get the status of a device.

The following line I am trying with AI is not working (The ExecX10 is a command Home Seer recognizes to execute a command, as you can see below that the VBscript using the same command, and it works perfectly):

if $MyDevice = 3 then hs.execX10 "A3", "On" , 50

The following line, in VBscript works perfectly:

if MyDevice = 3 then hs.execX10 "A3", "On" , 50

I have tried all sorts of variations with placing quotes and parentheses with no luck.

Any help with the proper syntax is greatly appreciated, as I know it is something simple with the syntax that I am doing wrong here.

if $MyDevice = 3 then $hs.execX10 "A3", "On" , 50

- or -

if $MyDevice = 3 then $hs.execX10 ("A3", "On" , 50)

Thank you so much! I knew it was just some sort of syntax problem! The 2nd example above worked perfectly!
