RE: X10 Connector, Homeseer and All Lights off

["Jeremy Laurenson" <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure:
I have a CM11A on a Windows XP machine running the X10 connector service
on Com1.
If I run xAP Message Viewer and I press an all lights off button on a
Smarthome 8button controller
all the lights turn off as expected and I see:

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF182000
class=xAP-X10.Event
source=ERSP.X10.betsy-xp
}
xAP-X10.Event
{
command=AllUnitsOff
device=J
}



If I send a command from the homeseer app I see:


xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF411100
class=xap-x10.request
source=mi4.homeseer.server.Master
target=ERSP.X10.betsy-xp
}
xap-x10.request
{
command=all_units_off
house=J
}



Or

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF411100
class=xap-x10.request
source=mi4.homeseer.server.Master
target=ERSP.X10.betsy-xp
}
xap-x10.request
{
command=all_lights_off
house=J
}


Neither actually send the codes to the power line.

Hi Jeremy,

can you give some more detail on the All Units/Lights problem please then I
can try to replicate it.
(this is assuming that you're using the connector from www.erspearson.com -
there is more than one flavour).

In the first instance it would be easiest for me to fix it - but if you
have
a copy of MS Visual Studio C# then I could send you the project code and
you
could take a look.

There are no plans to remove support for the X10 schema from the connector
-
it will always be useful to drop down to that level in some circumstances
(eg, to be able to use a non-standard device).

The next major release, not imminent, will separate the configuration from
the connector so you'll be able to configure it (and other xAP
applications)
from any computer on the network.

Edward

Hi all,

I am using the X10 connector on a machine and Homeseer with the xAP
plugin elsewhere.

I can send and receive the on/off codes I need but there seems to be
some incompatibility with Dim/Bright and All Units or All Lights
on/off

My questions are these:
Which app (I assume x10 connector) is at fault, and how can I fix it?
Will the raw x10 commands always be part of the spec?
(I am writing to X10 codes and do not want to be managing device
names on the X10 connector slave PC)

TIA

J
