Fedora 12 Packages

[hari]

Fedora 12 i686 binary packages are available here: http://www.linuxmce.org/standalone/f12/rpms/

Be aware that the included CreateDevice binary (DCERouter package) is PPL and *NOT GPL* (yet).

you could also mysqldump the pluto_main from a running (preferably fresh) installation

if you want, create some devices, e.g. for Z-Wave (ignore the installnewdevices error):

Code Select Expand


[root@golem bin]# ./CreateDevice -d 1754
05 07/15/10 12:50:22.686 Called with: -d 1754  <0xb7892740>
sh: /opt/pluto/bin/InstallNewDevice.sh: No such file or directory
20


in this example don't forget to set the DeviceData for the serial port (in pluto_main do a "update Device_DeviceData set IK_DeviceData='/dev/ttyUSB0' where FK_Device=20 and FK_DeviceData=37")

Right now the GeneralInfoPlugin is not yet available so you need to create the Z-Wave child devices manually, I'd recommend to run the pluto_admin somewhere.

start DCERouter:

use the RPC Plugin or MessageSend to control stuff...

Thanks for explanation, Hari. Sounds very interesting. Based on that mini installation some stand alone controller can be built.

[hari]

yeah, that was my intention. All parts besides "CreateDevice" are GPL. I did not yet rewrite the GeneralInfoPlugin as it just uses the CreateDevice parts for device creation. I've contacted the copyright holder of the Pluto stack and asked if we can have the createdevice sources as GPL. If not, I'm going to rewrite the needed bits and redo a small GI Plugin.

The lighting plugin is also rewritten, it basically just contains the status updates for now.

more to come :-)

Hi Hari,

I'm trying to install mini LMCE. But I get that error:

Code Select Expand

./mce-install-common.sh: line 62: /opt/pluto/bin/CreateDevice: No such file or directory
Could you tell me, pelase, what RPM should contain the CreateDevice binary?

TIA

Update: Found answers to several my questions in other forum posts. Have collected varios posts and createw wiki page with condensed info and links to resources... But still interested in below question..

First, thanks for great effort...

perhaps any updates on status of CreateDevice and GI plugin ?

- I guess that for now, one has to compile CreateDevice by hand... Any notes to help on that ?
- or maybe if you choose to create device without CreateDevice - how difficult it is (simple mysql operation) ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,
Bulek.

[hari]

GPL now and included in the most recent revision of the mini branch

should be compiled with the latest makefile
