This program operates an X10 module via a CM11A computer interface. It is
|
|
based on the program X10 by Larry Cambell as modified by Paul Fox. All but a
|
|
few functions have been changed enough that they no longer interwork with
|
|
the original. I think this justifies issuing the program as 'heyu' instead
|
|
of 'x10'.
|
|
|
|
The program name comes from the old joke about having a 3rd person in the
|
|
house. Ida No was the one frequently blamed when things went wrong. In my
|
|
house it was the frequently heard yells of "Heyu! Turn off the lights!"
|
|
A poor joke, but I like it.
|
|
|
|
The program is strictly command line driven, and works well with crontab.
|
|
Crontab can be used to schedule events. You can also upload timers and
|
|
macros to the CM11's memory.
|
|
|
|
The program comes complete with source code, sample config files, MAN pages
|
|
an executable binary. The program has options to allow you to:
|
|
|
|
* Get the date and time from the interface
|
|
* Get information about current settings and module states
|
|
* Turn an X10 module on or off
|
|
* Dim or brighten an X10 module
|
|
* Monitor all data sent to or from the CM11A
|
|
* Get the status of intelligent X10 modules (rr501 for instance)
|
|
* Set the X10 clock from the computer's clock (time and date)
|
|
* Zero out the macro and event memory of the X10
|
|
* Upload macros and timers
|
|
* preset the dim level of advanced two way devices
