MisterHouse: Home Automation with Perl

Hi,
	Before I start hunting this down as a bug, I was wondering if the 
following is by design.

I have a single generic X10 wall switch light and defined as X10I in the 
items.mht file.   Sequence of events:

1.  $x10_generic_switch->set('40%');
2.  $x10_generic_switch->set('on');

At the end of this sequence the light remains at 40%, whereas, I would 
have expected it to be fully on.  Is this not the case?

Thanks,
-J

---

BTW: I attached a new version of the Light_Item.pm.  I saw the dialog 
about the turning porch light full when motion is seen and dimming after a 
period of time, so I added that as a feature to the Light_Item objects.  
It should be all plug'n'play with the other supported objects as well 
(doors, light_restriction, photocell, etc)

ie.
$front_light->add($front_motion,$front_photocell); #turn light on with motion, only when dark
$front_light->idle_state('40%',5*60); #after 5 minutes of no activity, go to 40% light level

I also fixed a bug with photocell objects being averaged.

Upgrade to 2.97!

I found a bug in 2.95 that is now fixed in 2.97.  In my case, it caused 
the login web page to fail when sending speech to an Audrey.

If you don't want to upgrade to 2.97, the patch was to 
lib/http_server.pl.  Comment out (using "#") any lines that start with 
&speak.  The lines should end up looking like this:

#               &speak("app=admin $Authorized password accepted for 
$name_short");
#           &speak("app=admin $user password accepted for $name_short");
#           &speak("app=admin Password NOT set by $name_short");
#       &speak("app=admin web sleep of $time_check seconds");

For some reason, the &speak lines can cause the http socket to close 
prematurely and the login cookie never gets set.

I'm using a hash to build the list of the states.

my %hash_val;
$hash_val{"a"}="state1";
$hash_val{"b"}="state2";
my $list_states = $hash_val{"a"} . ',' . $hash_val{"b"};
$weather_graph_email = new Voice_Cmd  "Email [$list_states] weather chart";

and i would like to have a popup list with state1 and state2 in the web 
interface but that don't work.
Regards.

The problem in the above code is that the $hash_val... records default 
to going into the loop code (executed every pass), and the 'my $var' 
code gets pulled out of the loop code (only executed on mh load.

To fix that, you can use the # noloop directive, to force those records 
out of the loop code, like this:

---
my %hash_val;
$hash_val{"a"}="state1"; # noloop
$hash_val{"b"}="state2"; # noloop
my $list_states = $hash_val{"a"} . ',' . $hash_val{"b"};

Bruce

Thanks, this directive is the solution. I use it with a noloop block 
comments and it works now.

Regards.
Dominique.

Hi Bruce,

On further investigation, it seems that the problem is a little more 
widespread  For example, we have callerid_port and callerid_name but we also 
have caller_id_file and caller_id_format.

Yikes, I see that now also, in common/callerid.pl .   Since those parms 
are at least consistent (only used as callerid_xyz and not 
caller_id_xyz), and since that code is pretty widespread, I think we 
best leave well enough alone.

I think we should keep that first change, though, since the 
caller_id_format parm is used in other code.  callerid_format was used 
only in that one spot, makes sense to change that.

Bruce

Try this instead:

if (state_now $sens_mov_hall1 eq ON
         and time_between '$Time_Sunset + 1:30', '$Time_Sunrise + 2:00')
         {
	set_with_timer $luz_hall1 ,'ON', 10*60, OFF;
         print_log "Luz Hall 1 Acesa";

The timer for the automatic turning off of the light will be reset each 
time the motion detector is set off.

Thanks, Mathew for taking the time to help. Yes, the test.mhp was there. I 
have attached it after I added an x10 light, a SG flag and a SG relay. The 
address seemed to be the key. I looked at a stargate.mht file that another 
user listed and saw how the addresses were supposed to go. I have the option 
of  dialing into to the Stargate thru the attached WEBX board so I can see 
in real time what is happen in relation to a MH command. When for example I 
turn on a light with the web interface using MH I will see the indication in 
the WEBX browser. However, when I turn on the light using the WEBX MH does 
not see the change. Is a program needed to specifically look for this. 
Thanks Again,

                                                Gary

Sorry, but I can't help you here.  I don't have a stargate and I am not 
sure if the stargate notifies mh of changes in object state.

Can someone who is familiar with the stargate help Gary?

Sound like you got around the code loading problem.

Your next question is will mh see changes made to the Stargate interface 
  via another program (WEBX browser).   I don't know much about the 
Stargate, but sounds like the answer is no.

Any reason you would want to use the WEBX browser to control things 
instead of the mh web interface?

EagleEyes are supposedly "Weatherproof".  I just buy whatever is cheaper 
and use clear silicon on the cracks of the white if it needs to go 
outdoors.  Also the white ones will turn yellow if left outside long 
enough, whereas the grey ones stay faily consistent in color.
