indeed, but as far as I know, only with the neutrino image.

For DB clones (like ITgate), where the neutrino image is not available, I would be interested in any solution people came up with...

Bulek,

thank you !
I could indeed find them in the DB in the table CommandGroup (surprise surprise )

Thanks 1audio. I have installed Z-tool and will try tonight.

I have filed a mantis for the limitation to 32 Zwave ID, and the associated code fix.
http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=4154

I hope the seluxit dongle I have ordered will offer more debugging functionality. Anyone knows about the software that comes with it ? Can it be used as a master controller, or SUC ?

No idea. In the meantime I found some possible leads.

This post: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Make_things_happen_at_set_times_or_intervals talks about the possibility to use ruby code to create advanced events. While I understand how this could be done with standalone ruby scripts connecting to the DCErouter, I didn't find in the GUI the possibility to enter "snippets of code".

In the events editor, using the "Advanced Wizard", one can send a "delay" message to DCE router as I explained above. Now I see two other message types that can be sent to DCE router: "Execute command group" and "Stop pending command group". If the latter is what I think, it could be used to reset the timer associated to a presence sensor each time the sensor is triggered. I haven't tried though, and we would need to find how to obtain the command group ID (and how to create command groups for that matter)

Hi 1audio,

Code: [Select]

9                       38              Light_Switch_dimmable
10                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
11                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
12                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
16                      38              Light_Switch_dimmable
22                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
25                      38              Light_Switch_dimmable
26                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
29                      38              Light_Switch_dimmable
30                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
31                      1813            Generic_Sensor
32                      37              Light_Switch_onoff
33                      1813            Generic_Sensor
37                      38              Light_Switch_dimmable

the main controller is ZTH200 and usb device is ZCU010. Hari and I believe unit 37 is the ZCU010, when got a new ID after I have sent a "Reset" command to it.

With the modification above, I have reloaded router a couple of time and even rebooted the core, it seems devices are not disappearing any more. Time will tell, I'll report back later on.

Hari: good catch. It gets better.

To my knowledge, the highest device ID on my network is 33 (A PIR sensor)

Without the modification (i<9) I get  http://www.k-net.eu.org/lmce/zwave-log-i9.txt.gz
The discovery stops at ID=32.
Still, it finds a lot of devices that don't exist.

Increasing to (i<34) I get http://www.k-net.eu.org/lmce/zwave-log-i34.txt.gz
It finds two new devices: the PIR with ID 33  but also a device 37  of type 38 (light switch dimmable). The fact that the type detected is a correct one makes me believe that it is correct, but I have no idea where that device is coming from. Hey that's maybe the way for you to get new devices at no cost :-)

OMG...

When receiving network info at initialization time, the pluto driver inspects a bitmap of 4 bytes -> 32 possible possible devices. But Zwave should support up to 232 nodes. Maybe I am misreading something ?

And it could indeed be that my problems http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=3614 of zwave devices being dropped started when I reached node ID 33 in my network.

Code: [Select]

                        for(int i = 5; i < 9; i++)        // that's only 4 bytes !
                        {
                                for(int j = 0; j < 8; j++)
                                {
                                        node_index++;

                                        if( (1 << j) & buffer[i])
                                        {
                                                handler()->insertNode(new ZWaveNode(handler()->homeID(), node_index));
                                        }
                                }
                        }

Another interesting thing I have noticed by decoding the received buffer is that some nodes are reported that do not exist physically.

Code: [Select]

BIG THANKS to nosilla99 and jondecker76 for this awesome piece of work !!! I soo love opensource.
If you send me your address by PM, you get a belgian beer (and still waiting for the one from Michael)

It works indeed very well ! All activity on the X10 "bus" generated by remote controls is decoded properly and the x5 answers do not cause locks any more.

I thought I would share the binary for x86 to save some time for others:

Will there be a presentation, screen or whiteboard sharing in addition to the voice call ?
Otherwise, we could consider using webex http://webex.com/
I might be able to help setting up the session if there is interest, depending on the expecter number of attendees.

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...

I've read in some thread that Seluxit was thinking of building a wrapper around the zensys code in order to expose a clear and open API. Do you guys know more about the status ?

It would be really nice to use this to query some infos from the modules, like routing table and signal strength, and build a tool like Z-Seer, which unfortunately only works with their controller -> US only.
