[misterhouse-users] Does this offer any possibilities for us?

Bruce, et all,

I just saw this on the Dallas TINI list, and thought it could 
be of benefit to some here. If I understand it correctly, I 
could hang the TINI/CM-11A most anywhere on my LAN and send X10 
data via the LAN to it, and onward to the power line. One more 
way to fill in the dead spots?

I believe you have a TINI don't you, Bruce?

I may try this on mine (although to be honest, Java is even more 
of a mystery to me than Perl is!)

        [TINI] TINI X10 API

I have released a beta version of a Java X10 API that supports execution
on TINI.  Currently it supports the CM11A serial X10 interface.  (And
all of the derivatives like the IBM version and such.)  Included with
the API is a sample program called EmbeddedGateway.  A "tini" file,
EmbeddedGateway.tini, is included and supports TINI OS 1.01.  The sample
program EmbeddedGateway communicates with the CM11A through one of
TINI's serial ports.  EmbeddedGateway also starts a TCP server,
listening for client connections.  It implements a simple client
protocol to allow X10 commands to be sent to EmbeddedGateway over a
socket, and EmbeddedGateway translates those commands into CM11A
commands that transmit the X10 event over the mains to the addressed X10
device.  EmbeddedGateway will receive unsolicited X10 events from the
CM11A device off of the mains.  EmbeddedGateway encodes the events into
an easily parsable ASCII message that is broadcast via a UDP packet.
This server was designed to showcase what is possible with the API and
be useful.  One possible use is to use a servlet providing an HTML
interface, and the servlet uses the EmbeddedGateway to execute X10
commands.  This servlet could be running on a different machine, as the
interface to EmbeddedGateway is completely network accessible through
TCP/UDP messages.  It would also be quite possible to use the API in any
TINI program to allow it to become X10 capable.

Version 1.0.1 of the Java X10 API can be downloaded from my site at the
following URL under the Java X10 CM11A/CM17A Library heading:

question is on-topic, or send me an email directly at
