Re: [mh] USB X-10 Setup?

[J D <sta...@ya...>]

Hey Leon,

The problem is that X10 has been less than forthcoming with the open
source community about the specification for running the CM15A (your
ActiveHome Pro).  They made a big deal out of how they were going to
open the specification and then refused to do it (on their forums
they've actually gone so far as to say "we're just not going to do it
yet").

There are some people on this list (Neil Cherry springs directly to
mind) who've done some work with developing an open-source driver for
the CM15A and at the moment it has some functionality.  I believe you
can receive and send X10 data on it, but you can't access the routines
that let you store programmed macros on the device.  There are some
other things broken as well which don't spring immediately to mind.

I purchased a CM15A and have also gotten a CM11 recently out of
frustration with X10's policies.  If there's anyone here who can give
us a rundown on what the capabilites of misterhouse are with respect to
both devices, that'd be terrific.
