dave how can I use the buttons on the control center screen programatically (using macros) to monitor, show, and change the state of the device the button controls. I have a background image loaded in my control center and would like to use the buttons (even though they are not graphical) to monitor the state of the devices. On that point, dave, when are you going to give us the ability to load graphics into the buttons on the control center screens???? Just asking???

The Control Center expanded functionality will be worked on shortly. This is something that Ive wanted to do for a long time, but had to take a back burner for some of the newer controllers that have come out recently.
But, you can programmatically alter button appearance now. Look in the PowerHome Help file under Functions->Control Center. For example, to change a button's background color, use the ph_setccbtnbcolor function.
HTH,
Dave.

I am trying to implement this but it doesn't seem to be working. (and that particular function doesn't exist either)
I'm trying to do it as a combo with the status trigger I had to make for the web page.
ph_x10setstat(2,'m',3,0,0) + ph_setccobjbcolor("MY ROOM","TB5","yellow")
If I can't combo it like that I can redo it as a macro.
(or a way to do it by swaping 2 images depending on status would be better)
Also, I'm using ph_setcctab to switch tabs with a button in the cc. It works fine on the computer running ph but not through the web interface. Is it designed that way or is something else broke on my ph?
(do you think I should just backup my db and reinstall?)

It did back then. 
You need to use this to specify the color...
rgb( r, g, b)
As in, yellow = rgb(255,255,0).
I believe ph_setcctab only works in PH itself.

Thanks Tony. It didn't mention anything about rgb values in the help file.

Nope. That's one that fell through the cracks.

Guerrand,
Tony has you covered. The function used to be ph_setccbtnbcolor but was updated to ph_setccobjbcolor when PowerHome started supporting the newer CC objects. Also, a color is a numeric value, easiest to obtain using the rgb function which just takes the individual color values and multiplies them out by powers of 16 (I cant remember the exact formula but can look it up) to acheive a unique color value.
The next beta has a new action type for the Control Center for navigation. It will change the CC tab to a new tab based upon if you're in the web or the client. In the meantime, you can do this with two functions in a "Raw Formula" type of action. The formula below will change the CC tab whether you're in the Client or the Web:
ph_setcctabid("NEWCCTABID") + ph_setwebnexturl("/ph-cgi/redirect?type=1&url=/ph-cgi/ccmap? id=NEWCCTABID")
This should take care of the navigation. The code below:
ph_x10setstat(2,'m',3,0,0) + ph_setccobjbcolor("MY ROOM","TB5",rgb(255,255,0))
is your formula updated to use the RGB function for the color yellow. Adding the two functions this way is perfectly acceptable and is the intended way for functions and formulas to typically be used
Hope this helps,
Dave.
