RE: [Embedlets-dev] Outpost rollout initiative, TStik & JINI

[Kelly S. <be...@ea...>]

Dear Jac and Ted - I used the X10s for about a years worth of waited time,
with the CM11A (The "FireCracker" need a CTS handshake that is NOT in TINI's
serial1).  I was able to keep track of about for power modules with the
CM11A, but operation with the CM11A   was erratic as Hell, and with or
without the CM11A plugged in to the TINI.  I have a hard time recommeding
X10s as a solution for "Home Control" applications.  I would be more that
happy to send my server code for SSC's TiniHttpServer, and you can find out
for yourself how lousy X10s are...

Trust me on this... I would NOT hook one up to a coffee pot in fear of
buring my house down.

Best regards, Kelly (been there, done that with X10s, anf gagged) Smith

Hmmm, may-be I should start polishing my X10 CM11 controller code a bit
and donate it to the community as well. The current version of the code
(servlet) has been monitoring the office X10 activity for 408 days (on
TINI) without a single minute downtime :-)

Ted, you might want to look into the CM11 interface as well. Probably a
bit more expensive, but able to monitor communications on the power net as
well, so if other means (wireless remote) are used to change the state of
a X10 device you'll be able to update the representation of the state in
the system as well.

Regards,

Jac
