Re: MCE, VLC, or iTunes

Nahslon,

I am talking to the zwave commander right now with the HTTP GET
protocol,
you just don't get two-way feedback... You could use the simulated
feedback though.

There is another small program that is worth checking out and it works
with the iViewer.
Here is the link: http://www.kindel.com/products/mcecontroller/
It's small and lightweight and you can control iTunes, MCE, VLC,
etc...
Only downside is... No two-way feedback.
