Hi,

my Dianemo is slowly fading (unsupported destro, lack of support, ...) and I'm thinking what to do for replacement.

Probably I'd like to try LMCE again, but would love to run it on cost efficient server - lower power, no video surveillance anymore, media just through DLNA players (1 or 2) etc...

What HW would be suitable to run such system ?
What would your system look like if you'd start from scratch ?

Another alternative would be OpenHab, but it seems that it doesn't have media, phone and other extensions that LMCE has...

Thanks in advance,
regards,
Bulek.

Hello,

I'll probably try to establish LinuxMCE core for my home - currently I'm running Dianemo, but that's another story... My plan is to do it in low power sense...

I've got pretty interesting suggestions from users running core on ODROID devices. These really seem to be interesting option. But I'm also curious about other lower power options.

I've failry complex system in my house - have 3  Cisco 7970 phones, doorphone, lower automation layer from Cybrotech with integrated heat pump, ventilation, lighting, irrigation, sauna, bathtub, almost any other existing device,..., video surveillance with 4 analog cameras, whole house media&audio with two channels via Marantz SR5600 and speaker selektor, few MDs, one on main TV and 17 inch touchscreen in living room as a main system control)... Over 300 variables flowing between lower layer automation from Cybrotech and LMCE. Currently integration is made via Perl implementation of LMCE device.

ODROID suggestion is really interesting to me, but I'm curious how this fits complexity stated above ?

I'd be really happy to read more details about those setups... In the mean time I have few quick questions :
- how do you cope with video surveillance, large media disk, asterisk, large SQL database, ... ?
- do you have also MDs on cores (I'm quite happy with simpler MD on core - using UI1 on main touchscreen) ?
- I guess you use RPis v2 for MDs - are they full blown MDs? Can you start media on them from Orbiters ? Is RS232 TV control supported ?

One idea is to divide system and have video surveillance on separate system (one of chinese good products) and lessen the burden on those cores...

Maybe there is also option of full blown PC, but still on lower power side ? Any suggestions ?



Thanks in advance,

Hello,

as a long time Dianemo user (I think right from the start of Pluto system) and getting more and more dissapointed with Dianemo system.

I'm not sure what is happening with the company, but for quite some time I cannot use Dianemo to efficiently control my house anymore...

We have UI1, newer UIs, HTML5 Orbiter but none covers system completely and they all seem to be in some kind of half working state - the main point is that I cannot access all features of the system using any of them (I could use UI1 on main touch screen to access custom scenarios, then HTML5 Orbiter for audio control, but it seems kind of silly to do so).

Short description of my system :
- i have full blown home automation system using system from Cybrotech on lower (home automation) level. I've written my own integration interface that works perfectly and connects to Dianemo bidirectionally. Beside common devices (lighting, ...), system also integrates heat pump, AIR ventilation, Sauna, whole house music (two channels using Marantz SR 5600), whole house internal phone system (3x Cisco phones with color touchscreens). There are around 400 parameters flowing bidirectionally between higher and lower level of the system.

We have main touchscreen that runs UI1. Why? Because this was one of the first UIs available and concerning access to custom scenarios is the only one allowing access also to HVAC, Media, Phone and Security scenarios and also all floorplans. But for quite some time, control of Audio doesn't work anymore in UI1. It's hard to explain to my family (wife), why audio system cannot be controlled from UI1 (this happend when Dianemo has changed music server).

I've considered newer UIs for touchscreen, but as far as I know, none of them allows access to custom scenarios in Hvac, Media, Phone and Security scenarios. Audio works, but we cannot set blinds up/down, set Sauna on/off, Kids one touch call to grandma, etc... I've even write my own web based GUI to cover most of  defficiencies, but integration of multimedia control is harder.

I've also considered HTML5 Orbiter, but it seems restricted in similar way - not all (better said majority) custom scenarios are accessible and it still seems unfinished also on other features (e.g. audio volume control, video, floorplans other than media, ...).

I'd kindly ask if someone from Dianemo can explain to us, what is happening currently, what are plans for future development and how is Dianemo progressing ?

For now, (as far as I'm concerned) it's only usable for not so many devices and only for certain type (lighting is probably the only one supported properly - by access to custom scenarios and floorplan)...

I'm not sure how many full blown systems are running Dianemo, but I cannot imagine how to setup such whole house system with those restrictions in UIs. Other systems are progressing much and I feel restricted by using Dianemo. Sorry to say this, but it simply feels outdated, specially user interfaces that don't follow common progress anymore...


Hopefully, you're already working on system and all defficiencies are already solved or being worked on.... But please, let us know about it...

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I'd like to add certain MAC address to be ignored by dhcp. Have two questions:
- what is needed to add to dchcpd.conf ?
- any way to add this change to  survive network settings change via admin page ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

page on wiki says that calibration for this screen can only be made manually by guessing...

Anyone aware of any other option to properly calibrate ELO touchscreen in current Dianemo or LMCE system ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

we haven't used Firefox as embedded web browser extensively... But now my wife discovered few sites about cooking& recipes and now my task is to bring it to Dianemo (probably similar also applies for LMCE).


I wonder if I can make embedded Firefox more touch screen friendly ?  The biggest problems are small buttons, sliders at the side, etc...
Is there any possibility (config options) to increase those little widgets to be more usable on touch screen ? 
Any other workaround to bring web sites to main touch screen ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

quite some time Audio media playing feature has not been working for us. When we tried to start Audio, got errors about non-existing Entertainment Area. Radu gave me advice to try new skin and it seems that Audio is not working anymore under UI1 skin. I know this skin is old, but we've been using it all the time on our main touchscreen.

Now to retain Audio features, we have to move to newer skins, but we got quite dissapointed, cause newer skins don't support some vital screens - at least for us. Our house is fully automated one and we have practically everything automated (also fully integrated Ventilation system, Heat Pump and whole house audio system with two channels and 5 audio zones).

To be able to control such a beast, we had created a lot of scenarios, that are showed in separate buttons on UI1 main screen (see attachment). We have at least 12 such scenarios for each main category (listed in left column). Also we liked quad view camera screens - we have two such screens, one for internal and one for external cams.
But we're a bit said, cause newer skins seem to be not supporting mentioned features anymore. Only Lighting button brings you to Lighting scenarios, but in our system this is only smaller part of all scenarios.

I think that those screens are really important for a system that appears to be full automation solution for residential use. My family members got used to those buttons (scenarios), even our grandma stayed with us for a few days and she used some additional scenarios created especially for her quite extensively.

Currently, we will probably keep UI1 and sacrifice Audio, but we would like to start discussion about this matter. We feel that perhaps we're not the only missing those features. We would also like to hear opinion from Dianemo - is it changing its focus to more media oriented system ?

Thanks in advance for discussion,

regards,

Bulek.

Hello,

I'm trying to setup RPi with raspbmc as UPnP player that can be controlled  from Dianemo.

Have three short questions :

1. What do I put into /etc/pluto/media_config.conf for RPi ? Is this right ?

Code Select Expand

#XBMC RPi
Room=12:        AudioDev=412; VideoDev=412; KeepScreenOnForOSD=no

2. How to troubleshoot setup it it isn't working ?

3. If I want to start media from XBMC GUI - what is the proper way to get media from Dianemo ? UPnP server LS doesn't provide video files, also music files are not working for me, should Samba be used for this ?

Thanks in advance,
regards,
Bulek.

Hi,

I've posted a thread about freqent crashes when clicking on Video button on main Orbiter screen... Crash came out of data not being available in reasonable time - and cause is that my disk is so slooow...

But I guess this is not the HW problem, but more SW. if I do this :

Code Select Expand

hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads:   3548 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1771.32 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:  10 MB in  3.17 seconds =   3.15 MB/sec


When this happens, I get frequent crashes in media browsers on Orbiter, have unresponsive Orbiter (needs 30+ secs to get from screensaver to Orbiter screen), etc....

When second parameter is >60MB/sec, everything is working much faster and ok...

Now what is slowing my disk down ?
when I do

Code Select Expand

iotop -oP I see that mysqld is producing massive amount of disk writes and reads (I always thought this is pretty normal, till Radu didn't check his machines and we compared...) - approx. 5-10 M/s...

when I check what mysql is doing with :

Code Select Expand

mysql
show full processlist;

I see that there is a massive sql query going on, probably taking all that massive amount of disk accesses...

My first question (dillema) is whether I'm chasing a ghost here and this is pretty normal or is there something to be checked further...

I'm on Dianemo S, but I guess this part of the system is pretty similar to LMCE also...

Any advice would help me a lot. My system is useless when this happens and it happens quite often (or all the time)...

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

Edit: I think that Radu found the origin of this query (or similar one when we talked about it) here :
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/trunk/src/UpdateMedia/MediaState.cpp    line 59....

Hi,

I'm spotting frequent crashes when I try to enter Video collection media browser. I always try this on main Screen Orbiter... I get either really slow response for first screen or even get DCERouter crash, cause obviously mysql query didn't finish in planned time and DCERouter restarts...

Anyone with similar size of collection? Any other advice ?

Regards,

Bulek.

Hi,

I'm not sure to what extent this also applies for LMCE, but I'm having a lot of problems under Dianemo S that currently switched to Logitech Media Server as internal music system...

First of all, the main problem is that my collection is not properly tagged and I'm waiting for option to use it via Folder structure... But that's another story... I'm trying to tag my collection as much as possible correctly, but have problems...

I've tagged few folders with mp3, wav and flac files. Then I tried to use LMS to rescan library and encountered following problems :
1. LMS behaves strange when you do only "scan for new and changed" media files. It finds all files, but when it should end scan it waits there forever... I have to abort scan. What I've learned is that it's recomendable to do full rescan each time...

2. if I scan only specific folder then all tag data seem to appear correctly on LMS (I'm not doing anything on Dianemo yet)... But when I do rescan of whole library (all folders) then my data from specific folder don't appear anymore... There are few errors about incorrect tag values on some files, but I guess this shouldn't interfere with files that are correctly tagged... But obviously something is wrong...

Anyone with same or similar problems ? Any advice ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

Hi,

I've upgraded to 11.10 and see that my MD won't power off completely. It stays with command line screen on and says "halted", but doesn't completely poweroff...

Any advice, what to check or fix ? It used to work under 10.10...

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I'm looking at DCERouter log but just cannot find command that switches Orbiter to "Single Camera View" screen with live picture from certain camera device...

Does anyone know how to do this ?

Hi,

I'm trying to setup speech announcements under Dianemo 11.10 and have problems. I remember from 10.10 and LMCE 7.10 that similar problems were present, perhaps they exist also on recent releases of LMCE.

I have following questions and would be glad to hear your experiences/opinions :


1. It seems that tts wav files are properly generated, but it seems like they are shortened when played as audio... Also if another speech announcement is triggered it overlaps with the first one - it seems like no queue is used here ? I'm not sure, but maybe generation of wav file and play media command are too close in time (?) :

3. "Send Audio to Device" command for Text&Speech device has parameters I don't clearly understand :

# 276 Dont Setup AV (bool)

Anyone knows some more details about this ?



4. When I try to make speech announcement during media play, then things get pretty messy. Audio stops playing, speech announcement is not heard at all, then media continues but media screen gets empty (no files in playlist), media floorplan has some empty colour rectangles and media button shows like nothing is played. Anyone with similar experience ?
It also seems that media is not paused, but after short interval, next song from playlist is played - with not enough time to play announcement:

.... and then really soon next song ....

40 ms is clearly not enough to play speech announcement.




Thanks in advance,

Hi,

those two systems are different in many details, so I think it would be good to separate Dianemo specific discussions into separate board not to confuse all other less experienced users...

Can we make new Dianemo board under LinuxMCE ?   I think it would be better for all of us.

I just found out that I can do it - but would still like to hear other member's opinions.

Hi,

I'm using squeezeslave that is amplified in MArantz receiver on multiroom channel and then connected to Speaker selector ESS. I'm currently using it in this way :
- I've put squeezeslave in certain room. When I start playing, MArantz is also properly switched on and set to proper input. But I have to manually enable speakers that are active in speaker selector...

I wonder if I could set up Squeezeslave in such manner, that it would be visible as player in 4 entertainment areas and when I start playing in certain zone, everything should be setup automatically (including ESS) ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I've 3 7970 phones and they worked quite ok under 7.10. I'd like them to work under newer versions of LMCE - they also support a lot of various features that can be put in config file. But when I take a look at this config files, they all seem a bit cryptic for me.

Does anyone know of any document that would (shortly) explain features & settings of sccp channel under asterisk ?

Hi,

I'm setting up Dianemo NC with mythtv 0.24. I have IPTV streams available that in MPEG2/TS format some time ago. Under 7.10, mythtv was unable to receive UDP streams, so I had to put vlc in between to change format of the streams into rtsp container. That worked, I was able to see iptv channels on mythtv and also on any PC with vlc client.

Recently, my iptv provider switched to MP4 streams (it seems that still in TS container) and mythtv was not working anymore under 7.10. Now I'm on Dianemo S10.10 and mythtv 0.24 and I wonder if there is any better chance to receive those streams also in mythtv...

When I play streams in VLC client and display codecs info it says:
video codec: H264-MPEG-4 AVC  (part 10) (h264)  720x576 50frames/s
audio codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 mpga  (48kHz, 192 kb/s)

Any chance to receive that streams on mythtv? I've setup Freebox network recorder, added channels, scanned them, but when I try to play them, nothing happens...

Any experience, advice ?

Thanks in advance,
