The driver as written will not reset house mode when it is changed via the panel. This is simply because there isn't any code to do this, in said driver. As always, since this is an open source project, the source code to the driver is available (it is part of the device template, and you can change it), and you can alter the code, to send a CMD_Set_House_Mode to the security plugin, when need be. My VistaICM2 C++ driver does this for the Honeywell Vista 15/20 panels that are controlled via the ICM module.

The Panasonic IP camera template can provide you with the information you need to write a new device template of this nature. You merely have to mimic the HTTP requests. Also, that you have the TCP Port device data specified, instead of Com Port on PC, so that it knows that this is a network device.

Please read the Generic Serial Device page, on the wiki, as a starting point. There are many other articles related to it as well that are useful.

If you can control the device via a TCP socket, and have a protocol sheet, then a device template can be made to control the device over the network. I am doing this for both my Denon AVC-2312 and Sharp Aquos TVs.

correct, I am merely trying to answer specific questions.

No, if you look at the parameter value, Set Screen Type is set to 0, which is the default screen type. This is defined by the first entry in the RemoteMapping table. The command is sent from the on-screen orbiter to the USB UIRT, so that the driver knows which RemoteMapping to use.

I really want to beat whomever did the udev rules for these devices to a fucking pulp...

Pipes are interpreted by the Media Plugin. You should look in the Wizard > A/V Equipment page, to make sure your pipes are configured correctly, (either with the Connection wizard, or manually by clicking Edit Pipes)... Check the DCE Router log, when you send soemthing from your remote, to see if your pipes are being traversed.

awesome. patch it

To further clarify:

Inside the Web Admin > Wizard > Media Scenarios, any canned scenarios that are created, have check marks next to them. You can deselect them, and the scenario will be removed from the Orbiter on the next generation.

I need to see the from and to device parameters of the Set Screen Type, to see where the message is going.

No. Scripting will not be added for events, as it opens up a whole can of worms regarding state. I will not add it. If you add it, cool, you deal with it.

The events are done in such a way that with the correct criteria, things can be matched and executed, without needing to carry around a whole bag load of state, and thus have a better chance of the events working reliably, even when things change.

-Thom

the best thing that can be done, is to send us a core dump.

The core dumps live in /usr/pluto/coredump/ and have a filename like core_HAL_xxxxxxx where xxxxx is the process ID of the crashed process..

You can then go to /usr/pluto/bin and invoke gdb as such:

gdb /usr/pluto/bin/HAL /usr/pluto/coredump/core_HAL_xxxxxxxx where xxxxx is the process ID of the crashed process.

You can then type bt at the (gdb) prompt, and at least get a backtrace.

Cut and paste this into a pastebin, and give it to us.

Thanks,

I do not have a 1-wire setup here, however, if somebody would send me a 9490R, and a couple of sensors, I could do the necessary work to debug the implementation.

-Thom

You'll find, that many things that you would manually need to implement in other systems, are handled automatically in LinuxMCE (we have a lot of predefined event scenarios that are created when certain devices etc are present)

We deliberately do not do scripting for things like this, events are stateless, and pretty much anything can be done inside an event criteria (although some complex things will require some planning and forethought).

This is not MisterHouse, do not treat it as such, we do a lot more, a lot more elegantly.

Can you verify that when the screen changes from the main menu, to the file list view, that there is a Set Screen Type being sent, and that the destination is your USB UIRT device ?
