X10 CM19A

[Riggs]

where would i start looking for this code, ie wiki or forum

[tschak909]

It is in the private method listing for the Insteon PLM driver. Either by looking at the Ruby Codes attached to the device template for the Insteon PLM, or by looking at the Insteon PLM page in the wiki.

are you talking about this: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Insteon_PLM_Ruby_Code_373

looking at this code is like an English speaking guy trying to read native Latin, and then trying to talks his way out of not getting killed in Latin  

for instance: Latina lingua non utor (I don't speak Latin) yahoo answers

[Riggs]

the code is wrong i know, i want to start basic and see something work and then make it better:

cmdId = cmd.id_                                                     # Command  ID: ON, OFF, SET LEVEL
cmdTo = cmd.devidto_                                             # Device ID in LinuxMCE
devPort = device_.childdevices_[cmdTo].devdata_[12]   # 12 contains a port/channel
childType = device_.childdevices_[cmdTo].devtemplid_  # Template ID to know type of device:
sendToDevice = File.new("/dev/cm19a0", "a")

case cmdId
       when 192 #192 is ON
               sendToDevice.puts "+devPort"
       when 193 #193 is OFF
               sendToDevice.puts "-devPort"
       when 184 #184 is Level of dimmer
               sendToDevice.puts ""
end
Now i don't know what is right and what is wrong in this code I just got it from the wiki because it looked like what i need and all i needed to do was change it a bit.
i do not understand any of it, well I know that sendToDevice = File.new("/dev/cm19a0", "a")  
means from now on File.new("/dev/cm19a0", "a") is gonna be called  sendToDevice,
and File.new is the command RB use to write to a file, /dev/cm19a0 is the file i want to write to and "a" means append to file

so i came up with sendToDevice.puts "+devPort"   as in i want RB to write a + and the devport in said file, but i guessing it is writing +devPort in the file instead of A1

[Riggs]

I guess i should scrap that code and write it from scratch, to do so i need some basic info,

does device_.childdevices_[cmdTo].devdata_[12] get me the channel and port number ie, A1
does cmdId_ get me the switch type ie, on off

[tschak909]

If you look at the database table, DeviceData, it will become clear, look at the primary keys...

ok is the template messed up as well as my code or just my code, see log below:

if i run  in the echo +A1 > /dev/cm19a0 terminal i get -bash: /dev/cm19a0: Invalid argument
and if i look in dnesg i see  [ 190.812686] x10-cm19a: devf_open: Couldn't submit interrupt input URB: -22

Now if i reboot the core and do echo +A1 > /dev/cm19a0 in the terminal before the core is fully up it works 

[Riggs]

I have deleted my ruby code then clicked update so i could just start from scratch but there is now a load of code in there and i dint put it there

[Riggs]

I think i might as well give up and just type terminal commands to use x10.
I'm not a programmer and it seems i never will be, i cant get anything working not even a simple peace of code that writes to a file when it receives the on command, F*&^ knows how i will get the x10 IR blaster working.

[rperre]

Riggs, have you tried using the cm15a code in lmce, looks like it's a similar device.

I have a bunch of x10 stuff and think this cm15A or cm19A would be nice to have and hopefully more reliable then the cm11a i have now.

Richard

[Riggs]

No never tried it, I now have a CM15A that i thought would work with LMCE but it never did, and i'm no dev so i dont think there is any chance of me using my X10 stuff on LMCE it seem as Linux world will only support what the main people have at the time, so I'm just using Active Home Pro with smart macros and VB Script with some .bat files to get what i want.

The guys here are doing a great job i just don't have the Linux skills to support my stuff.

[tschak909]

Do yourself a favour and go z-wave. a lot easier to set up, as much of it is automatic.

-Thom

[rperre]

Yes Z-wave is better, it's also 4 times more expensive (at least). X10 supported devices could get more people to run lmce because of the ease and cheap way to get modules, etc... more people that run it gives more people that are able to create devices or even help develop. I know i'm not the best in programming, i'm trying though to understand the system and hopefully make it better in some way.

The same with the USB UIRT vs Vista MCE IR receivers, but that's another thread.

I've had my eyes on the CM19A, it's only $10 shipped and RF which will help in reliability!!!

Richard

[Marie.O]

But at the moment there is no support for the CM19A.

rperre, please invest some time and write a device template for it, so other people can save some money and use the CM19A
