There is a wiki page for the remote: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Tricklestar_200ZW-EU-W but it doesn't have more info than on the user guide. Of course, when I figure out how to do it, if possible at all, I will add it to the wiki.

I have already added more info on how to use the "set association" command on the web interface: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Z-Wave_Getting_Started#Setting_associations

I have verified that the  "set association" command of the web interface is working fine. Thank you SIS mode, and thanks Hari!

However I would still be interested in finding out how to do it with the tricklestar remote if at all supported.

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

... and it is now fixed. Thank you!

I have filed a ticket for this:
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/582

I just found that the copy of zaptel-modules on

Code:

http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/beta2/binary-i386/zaptel-modules-2.6.27-16-generic_1.4.11~dfsg-2+2.6.27-16.44_i386.deb

is incorrect, it is just a copy of package linux-image-diskless !

The version on release looks better though:

Code:

http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/release/binary-i386/zaptel-modules-2.6.27-16-generic_1.4.11~dfsg-2+2.6.27-16.44_i386.deb[code]

Once this is fixed in the repository, I expect the installation of pluto-asterisk will go fine[/code]

is the pluto-voicemail-monitor needed? i will integrate with a spa-3102 and pap2t-na....

Probably yes. But the dependency is on zaptel-modules, which is probably not needed unless you are using a USB or PCI  PSTN adapter (unlikely).

I am still struggling to install pluto-asterisk without this zaptel-modules...

it looks like there is a chain of dependencies of pluto-asterisk to zaptel-modules.
zaptel-modules is on the repository, but not in the Packages files.

However, a manual install gives me:

after changing my mirror from be.archive.ubuntu.com to nl.archive.ubuntu.com, the apt-get update process works fine and the package pluto-avwizard can be installed without problems

I have the same issue: broken dependency for pluto-orbiter and pluto-avwizard leading to a grey screen with mouse cursor.

doing apt-get update, I have some failures:

Code:

Browsing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ there is no universe folder but a dists/intrepid/universe.
I guess I have to correct the corresponding lines in /etc/apt/sources.conf, but how...


* Update:
First I modified

Code:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ universe  main non-free contrib

to become

Code:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe  main non-free contrib

but then I got

Code:

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release  Unable to find expected entry  non-free/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

so in the end I commented the line out completely, as the previous line

Code:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid  main universe multiverse

covers main universe multiverse, but non-free and contrib don't seem to be available on that server

Now apt-get update works fine, but pluto-avwizard still won't install:

Code:

Once/if I get the iphone version running the way I want, I will probably make an ipad variant, replacing the navigation controllers with a split view controller.

But the ipad is a different beast altogether, and IMHO the perfect platform to run a full-blown orbiter. I won't be able to code that though, and I hope some brave souls will give it a go.

The web interface should work well too, I'll try in the simulator to get a first feeling. But nothing like a native app on the wonderful apple devices

Any updates, Caiman?

Yes, this is still going on with the architecture, feature list defined and the main individual features tested separately. Now I need to put it all together

Andrew,

The reason I kicked off this thread was to measure peoples interest in the iPhone as an Orbiter and also to start a discussion about what an iPhone Orbiter should be... and hopefully to find a group of Forum members who could run with it and develop it.

I have bought the SDK for this, and started learning cocoa. Already got a (very stupid) app which allows me to execute scenarios (via the web gui). Yes, I know it is not the right way, but one needs to start learning somewhere. And I find it very useful already. I am willing to contribute some time (I don't have a lot) this winter to learn more and build a nicer solution.

• I agree with Thom that a full orbiter would be WAY too complicated for newbies like me to implement. LMCE would run on quantum computers before I get close.
• I also would love a fast, native iphone app, even if it has less functionality than a full orbiter. (e.g. text only)
• Using mobile orbiter could be a great first step though, and I am ok with that, if we could run it over TCP instead of RFCOMM

Does anyone have the skills, time and desire to make the server-side of mobile orbiter work with bonjour/TCP instead of RFCOMM ?

Hi Hari and team,

has anyone tried or made the Schlage z-wave doorlock work with LMCE ?
http://consumer.schlage.com/LiNK/

It is sold with its own zwave controller, but of course I would love to integrate it with the existing LMCE network and be able to get notifications in LMCE when someone unlocks the door...

Hi Tschak,

I have (had) that already working, using SQL queries to get the info, MessageSend to send the commands, and a ready-made library for jabber connectivity (well, that is until I made a stupid "rm" command on it recently and of course, no backup

Yet it was nice to switch lights on/off and query status from a mobile IM client on my phone

But I wanted to make it "nicer and cleaner" and re-implement fully using DCE. Maybe it's not worth the effort per se, but it's mostly for learning.
