Re: [mh] Insteon SDM, LINUX and Wine - it works!

[Tom M. <tma...@sa...>]

Well, I haven't made any significant progress yet, but I want to work on
integrating the Insteon PowerLinc USB v2 Insteon controller into Linux =
and
MH (without using SDM and wine).

So far I am trying to get Bruce Perren's Ion s/w working, and trying to =
make
sense of what I read on the /dev/hiddev device.  As I said -- no =
significant
progress.

Well, I got the PLC to work by installing a windows VM, so I know that=20
the port is OK, and my PLC is OK.  Obviously I need to learn my way=20
around wine better.  Anyway, now that I can make my Insteon devices=20
respond using direct insteon commands, (so cool-and fast) I am wondering =

how any of you have integrated this functionality into your misterhouse=20
setup.  For instance, is anybody working on a module that would allow us =

to create  Insteon items in the mht file, and then some sort of copy of=20
however the X10 magic happens, but outputting the http command instead=20
of sending an X10 string out the CM11?
