Description

The Sage MC Controller plug-in is a .NET plug-in for HomeSeer that allows you to control one or more windows media center systems or extenders.

Control multiple media centers on different PCs and any media center extenders attached to them
Track the status of the media centers and extenders including play state, mode, media information, and current position
Simulate button presses such as transport controls, navigation, channel, volume, etc.
Display dialogs on the media center. These dialogs can display text as well as an image. Buttons can be put on the dialog to capture response.
Configure media center events using both standard and custom triggers and actions.

Here are some examples of what you could do with this plugin. You may think of others…

Turn off the lights when you start playing a movie. To do this you would check the current play state to see if it changed to play. You would also likely want to check that it is in video mode so that it doesn’t happen when you play a TV show.
Turn the lights to dim when you press pause on a movie – Time to get a snack.
Synchronize the mute of your A/V receiver and your media center. You may want to press mute because you get a call from your mother, but would still like to keep up with show. Pressing mute on your receiver will mute the sound, but pressing mute on the media center can put it into closed caption mode so you can still read what is going on.
Display a dialog with a snapshot of the front door camera when someone presses the doorbell. You may further want to add a button to this dialog to allow you to press a button on your media center remote to unlock the door.
