Users / How to create associations to group 2 with Z-Wave Tricklestar remote

« on: February 01, 2010, 09:54:52 pm »

Hi team,

all in the title... I just did a SIS mode install with a seluxit USB controller and a tricklestar remote.
I can include devices, and use the remote to create associations between devices for group 1.

But how can I create associations between devices for group 2 or 3?

I still have a ZTH if needed, but it would be nice to do it with the remote alone?

I have checked the tricklestar website but links to the docs are broken, and the paper doc I have received does not cover groups other than 1...

thanks

Developers / DCE device as a standalone ruby script

« on: December 11, 2008, 08:57:47 am »

I would like to build a DCE device with a scripting language, and because there is already a lot of ruby code for this that will be my choice. However I don't want to have it embedded like a GSD device and have the code stored in the database, I would like to have instead a standalone script in /usr/pluto/bin as I find it easier to work on than using the web GUI.

Which files can I include to benefit from the same method definitions as when running a GSD? Is there such a library of ruby methods that allow connection to the router, DB, send/receive messages and events ?

any pointers welcome...
(I so would like that the ruby/LMCE tutorial webcast had been recorded

On a related topic, when writing a DCE device, is it really bad to have it access the database directly? Or should I really stick to using DCE messages to get the info I need (list of lamps, rooms, etc)?

thanks !

Users / Responding to z-wave sensor events

« on: May 14, 2008, 12:11:20 am »

I have added two z-wave PIR sensors and defined the event handler as follows:

- Respond to events
- An sensor is tripped
- What device = "sensor hall"
- What time of day <> "DAYTIME"
- Event parameter "triggered" = 255
- action: switch on a light nearby

When I trigger the sensor I get this in the ZWave logs:

Code: [Select]

05      05/14/08 0:01:16.866            alarmPIRHandler : node: 18 report: 255 <0xb68f9b90>

05      05/14/08 0:01:16.867            SendSensorTrippedEvents: wrong node ID: 18, 1 <0xb68f9b90>

Two questions:
- is the config correct ?
- what does the wrong node ID message mean ?

thanks in advance...

Users / CM11a gives Exception on serial port

« on: April 14, 2008, 09:31:26 pm »

I've been using the new CM11a code from svn happily for a while, but now I am getting a lot of these error messages in the logs (and cannot control lights any more):

Code: [Select]

Exception occured on CM11A's serial port: 0. Sleeping for 5.1 second.

The CM11a is connected via a gc100, but if I stop the CM11a process and run heyu, I can control the CM11a which indicates that the gc100-serial-bridge is working fine.

Any idea ?

Users / 0710 beta 4 does not show files on NFS mount

« on: April 02, 2008, 06:39:13 pm »

After upgrade from 0704 to 0710 beta4, I am unable to access media files on a NAS, mounted as NFS, from the orbiter.

Example for video:

Code: [Select]

ls -la /home/public/data/videos/
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root      public 4504125440 2008-03-26 12:49 300.iso
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root      public      22528 2008-03-26 18:41 300.iso.id3
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root      public         34 2008-03-31 19:57 NFS Share [263] ->  /mnt/device/263/public/data/videos

ls -la /mnt/device/263/public/data/videos

drwxrwsr-x 8 root    public 4096 2008-02-11 23:38 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 myuser public 4096 2008-03-18 15:20 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 myuser public 4096 2008-03-18 00:26 cartoons


so the permissions seem ok (for the file itself too)

- In "filename" sorting mode, the 300.iso file is seen but the "NFS Share [263]" link is not seen. In "title" sorting mode, only the 300.iso file is seen.

The NFS mount options are:

Code: [Select]

192.168.80.2:/lmce on /mnt/device/263 type nfs (rw,udp,proto=udp,soft,timeo=7,retrans=3,retry=2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=192.168.80.2)

In the web admin, the files on the NFS share can be browsed and appear as known in the database.

Any idea ? This was working fine in 0704...

Users / Z-Wave devices disappear at router reload

« on: March 21, 2008, 08:29:54 pm »

Zwave was working fine in 0704. Since the upgrade to 0710b4, each time the router is reloaded, LMCE replaces existing z-wave appliances with new devices. This means a new device ID, and all the settings (name, room, icon, etc) gone.
Also, these don't appear in the floorplan wizard.

What could it be ?

thanks,
Sam

Users / Source tab shows wrong user for private data

« on: October 12, 2007, 05:56:04 pm »

I have two users: Sam and Sonja.

When the orbiter is set to user Sam, I can see in the source tab "Public" and "Sam". All ok.

But when I switch the orbiter to user Sonja, in the source tab I still see "Public" and "Sam", instead of "Public" and "Sonja", and the files that are shown when I select "Sam" are indeed those from Sam and not from Sonja.

I have reloaded and done a full-regen of the orbiter.

Any idea ?

Users / Cannot use absolute scrolling with Gyration mouse

« on: October 12, 2007, 05:37:08 pm »

Got a gyration GO air mouse (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Gyration_Go_2.4_air_mouse).

Everything is working fine except absolute controls. From the wiki:

If you're using UI2's 3 button navigation model, all the normal media control options on the traditional remote are replaced with one button: media (ie the left soft button or F6). Press this and then move the pointer up and down for your skip functions (ie ch+, ch-, skip fwd, skip back), and move the pointer left and right for speed control (ie rewind, fast forward). The further you move, the faster the media playback changes. If you keep the button held down (the left soft button or F6), then your movement is absolute, not relative, and instead of the traditional jog shuttle-type control, moving to the right goes to the end of your media, and moving left to the beginning

Relative controls (one short click on the MEDIA or AMBIANCE button) works fine. If I leave the MEDIA or AMBIANCE (F6 or F8) button pressed to enter obsolute controls mode, for example to find a specific scene in a video file, the prompt on the screen starts blinking and I don't get to the actual scene access feature.

Has anyone got experience with this ?

Users / LMCE upgrade procedure

« on: July 09, 2007, 08:10:11 pm »

Many users are now on 1.1 beta2 and are investing a lot of efforts to configure their home, asterisk and cover art, or maybe some custom drivers...

Once the next version of LMCE comes out, what will the upgrade procedure be in order to get a "clean" install without loosing all the settings ?

I know it's hard to say when the release is not even out, but this can be seen as a feature request... for documentation :-)

Users / Upgrade slimserver

« on: July 09, 2007, 08:07:25 pm »

I would like to upgrade to the latest stable version of slimserver (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/?DebianPackage).

Is it ok to do so, or would this break the pluto-slimserver-plugin ?

Users / /etc/pluto.conf options

« on: June 14, 2007, 06:18:44 pm »

most of the options in /etc/pluto.conf are quite obvious.
But I'm wondering what's the meaning of these ?

Display = 0
It it the X display? Meaning, one could use this to run the orbiter on a separate head ?

SharedDesktop = 1

DesktopActivated = 1

thanks
