I tried Patrick's xAP app  and didnt have much luck with my hacked
Caller-ID
(or with any of the other xAP CID apps). I suspect the Meteor may do some
basic cleaning of the datastream, so although the actual data is identical
some of the spurious lead-in is removed, which, when present from a hacked
unit may be enough to put off the Meteor based apps.

I have a HomeSeer plug-in working very reliably which will send an xAP CID
message with either of the xAP HS Plugins.

Thanks Patrick,

I shall try again tonight with a fresh reboot etc.

Quick question:
Should I see any output in the console window when a call comes in...?
I've tried setting the debug level to 4 but don't see anything when a call
comes in.

Anyway, I'll try again tonight and get back to you if I'm still having
problems.

Many thanks,
Andy.

Hi all,

I've finally got round to hacking one of the several caller ID units I
got of eBay.
(Same as the smaller unit here: http://tinyurl.com/7pp2q)

So, I've verified that it works watching the call data using RealTerm.
Next step is to find a xAPplication that will convert it into a caller
ID message.
I know there are quite a few out there but I'm not sure what baud etc.
they use to connect to the COM port.
(I tried Patrick's Meteor Caller ID utility on the off-chance but no
joy)

I need 1200 baud.
Is there an application out there that will allow me to configure the
baud etc. of the COM port connection...?

Many thanks,
Andy.
