Users / Updated Template list
« on: May 09, 2013, 08:31:45 pm »
I am trying to find a template that Whateverfits has submitted and cannot find it.  The template uses manufacturer: Radio Thermostats and the description is: 3M50

I do not have the manufacturer in the manufacturer list. Possy confirmed that the Manufacturer exists in his list

I made sure my core was upto date - apt-get Update and Upgrade then

I did a sqlCVS Diff, reverted everything and did and "sqlCVS Update".

My understanding is that the templates should be upto date - am I doing something wrong?

Have you checked the template in or is it just 2254 in your setup?

Take a look at #2235, this is the template I created with Tschak's help, but since then I have been talking to Aviator.  See the wiki page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Radio_Thermostat for some code snipets

Netflix working via Linux is news to me.  Using the computing menu to use it is fine. We do that already for many sites. I will have to try this

The Device Template was updated, submitted and approved with the two changes in this thread.  The DS9490R should work now with the stock template

Asram,

I use X10 (cheap - lights, outlets and PIR) and 1-wire (very cheap - temp and soon Humidity).  Do you own your condo? meaning are you willing to run structured wiring? Cat5e/6 around

Armor Gnome,
I don't use Nest but do use a Filtrete 3M-50 that I am trying to add support for  (it is cheaper and not as Apple-esque).

Anderson01,
What would you fit if you were just buying a normal alarm system?  think of what you would want to cover then apply that to LMCE.  PIR's, window/door sensors are all readily available in LMCE.  Add camera's, sirens, alerts via email and phone

In general, I like the ability to use sensors for multiple things - for instance PIR's are used for security and to trigger lighting.  Temp sensors help with heating system and (hopefully - when I work this out) fire alarms (if the sensor is over a certain temperature - FIRE!!!)

For TV's I specifically bought Sharp and LG with RS232 ports (from BestBuy :)). Just did my research first and therefore did not need to ask the 'experts' anything

Thom,

unfortunately, most people are just going to buy stuff that suits their pockets and buy them from places like Best Buy or they have already got their equipement before deciding they want to take it to the next level.

Jamo,

Code: [Select]
I know CEC is poorly supported at present but it is an optionWhat do you mean?  CEC is in place on lots of HDMI equipment now but not neccesarily common codes - therefore DT's would need to be made for each device rather than each type of device (TV's, Blu-ray, PVR, Receiver).

I think support for a common, low cost 'USB-CEC injector' would be good step forward for LMCE.

the one sensor that was disconnected was still appearing in the log on reboot - this is after the device was physically disconnected and shows that it is connected properly:

it seems like it doesn't find the device.  When I installed them less than a week ago they were discovered almost immediately.

Users / 1-Wire Temperature Sensors
« on: February 16, 2013, 06:46:20 pm »
So I have 4 Temperature sensors installed in my 1-Wire network.

2 days back 1 was accidentally unplugged.  Since then the temperature has remained constant at the temp that was being reported - even after a reload and reboot.  what is the correct process for getting this to work again?

It is the JSON template I was asking about a few weeks ago in the IRC.  I have struggled with it and havent really got very far. Aviator had it working, cant find him though

Installation issues / Re: Audio / Video pipes - Settop box, TV
« on: February 11, 2013, 03:35:37 pm »
I think you have miss understood what 'embedded' means.  'Embedded' means their is a physical device inside the TV that would need controlling - A TV tuner (sometimes called 'Tuner' or 'TV' in your input selection), another example is a Radio tuner for an AV reciever.  everything else should be 'external' (I think it is 'external', I will have to check at home). 

Once you have done this and created a template for your set top box, you should be able to configure them via the setup wizard and check them via the screen where you can see a graphical representation of the pipes to check it.

once the Device Template is corrected it should work as you have specified in your scenarios.

you are correct LMCE doesn't know if the TV is on or not - discrete codes or a two way comms method would fix this

Yes, it is cold in my basement!!

I was trying to set up an event that warns me if the temp drops below 9 deg C but that will be another thread.....

I had already done all the things you suggest. I did a couple of reboots after due to some other reasons then all of a sudden the sensor showed up.  not sure I understand it but it is working.  See below
