HomeSeer Wiki Main Page
Welcome to the HomeSeer Wiki! We know that we have a very active userbase and we hope that all of you will help contribute to our Wiki. We often brag of the size of our forum, we would like to be able to brag about the size of our Wiki as well! You will notice many of the pages on this site will have very little content, that's because we need more people working on them! Feel free to jump in and contribute wherever possible. Remember, Wikipedia wasn't built in a day.
If you would like to start browsing, please look at our categories listing

[edit] Guidelines
Please feel free to edit any page on our Wiki, even the pages we created. We care about the quality of the content, not who wrote it. If you think the HomeSeer page is need of help, fix it! If you are unsure of any change you or someone else made you can talk about it on the discussion page. We encourage third party developers to create pages for their plug-ins and place them in the appropriate categories.
For example add
[[category:Plug-ins]] [[category:3rd Party Plug-ins]]
to 3rd party plug-in pages so that they are placed in the appropriate directories.
Of course, this is not the place to post spam or advertisements for competing software. This is a 'HomeSeer' Wiki, not a Home Automation Wiki.
[edit] Creating articles
The easiest way to create an article is to search for it. If it doesn't exist you are given the option of creating it. Try to use proper article names and place them in the appropriate category. Don't worry if you don't know what you are doing. Someone who does will likely fix it up.
[edit] Making Changes
Making changes to the pages on the wiki is easy. Simply click on the edit tab for any page. If you would like more information on editing and syntax please visit the editing page on mediawiki here:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing
[edit] Stub Articles
You will notice many of the articles in this Wiki have been marked {{stub}} This means that there is significant work that needs to be done to that article. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Feel free to leave the stub tag in until the article has reached an appreciable length.
[edit] Goals
We have many goals we would like to achieve with the wiki, here are just a few:
- Extend the HomeSeer knowledge base
- Provide an easy way for people to find the answers to questions that have already been resolved (as opposed to reading through 10+ pages of a thread on the forum)
- Provide a new way for users to explore what our software can do
- Promote our 3rd party developers
- Provide an up-to-date listing of all scripting and plug-in functions
