This is probably not the correct forum to be asking a networking/security question but perhaps someone has been through it and can give me some pointers. When I get it working I fully intend to use it to remotely control some X-10 stuff connected to my Linux box:) I have recently had a cable modem installed and purchased a SMC Barricade Router and signed up for dynamic DNS at d2g.com. I would like to access my RedHat Linux box for Web, Telnet, etc. from the outside world. Starting with Telnet, I think I have got the firewall configured correctly to pass port 23 through to my Linux box but when I try to log on, I get "Connect From Unknown" and "Can't get Client Address" when I look at var/log/secure. I have had similar problems telnetting in from machines on my local network and have found that I must add their IP address to /etc/hosts. I've tried adding the address of my firewall and the current external IP address to /etc/hosts as well as the entire subnet of the external IP address to /etc/hosts.allow with no success. I have similar problems and log entries in my Apache web server logs. Does anybody know how to allow a limited dynamic IP address to get access to the server? |

Hmm... May be time to post/swap some code :) I'm working in PHP on some stuff and have a status/control page that can: - Group to specific rooms - send commands to a Ocelot/ADICON devices via a CGI URL in an IFrame (read: no full screen refresh) - Gets dynamic updates (using tattler as base code) from devices in the network and refresh status/timestamp on the screen (read: no full screen refresh) I am finishing up getting my HVAC, Napco, Ocelot, and ADICON stuff to broadcast updates via UDP (XML encoded) and a program that listens for the UDP messages, manages a state table, and forward messages to the browser (TCP, simple delimited). It is just a beginning and rather simple... I've spent more time researching style sheets and Java Applets (good books are hard to find!) There is still some stuff I don't have completely worked out but I can put it up... http://www.2imagineit.net/hacontrol/lights.php Obviously you can't do anything and you don't get status messages.

Well, I first started the code with 4.0.6 php (socket, fread, fwrite, etc). That worked fine for sending normal x10 commands (btw the socket code in 4.0.6 is experimental). But, I couldn't read big strings. I could read the real time clock, but not the x10 state table. More than likely its a timing issue. Anyway, in my blind rampage, I installed a snaps copy of the php cvs tree, which contains almost all of the C sockets library. So now I have socket_recv, socket_send, etc. The x10 commands still work, but reading strings does not..... I thought Karl had his leopard working with Homedaemon (x10, ir, modules, etc.). Just as a passthrough device, though. I could be wrong about this (I don't have it running).

Oops sent this direct to Steve instead of the list. BTW, I just found the programming info for the Dataq 8 bit adc board. It can be dound at: http://www2.dataq.com/techinfo/dataform.htm The DI-194 is a $13 (US, P+H extra). Not a bad deal. Steve Letkeman wrote: > > Does this list still work? > > Steve Still working, I just found Dan Lanciani's X10d for the CM17A (Firecracker) and either the MR26A or Dave Houston's AHT (a BS2X board). Both provide wireless X10. I'm currently tide up with my HCS II, searching for LonWorks (we may have something here) and OnQ. I'm working on articles and such so I'm tied up with that. Sorry about no push on the LHA project. It's not forgotten and I'm actually hoping to take advantage of a few other things I'm working on. Currently I'm in heavy research mode. Oh I'm also working on getting a Linux 2.4 system together. Someone has pointed out that there are problems compiling various code on that. Hmm, I really guess I should be sharing the info here. I just haven't had a lot of spare time to settle down and get things done. 2 other things, the first is that I'm stuck working on my friend home (for at least 3 more weekends, argh!) and I really need to get to work on my web interface. I have the PHP code (PHP/Apache/SSL/MySQL/Homedaemon /X10d/Javascript) working but someone else had trouble with it. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry nc...@ho... http://members.home.net/ncherry (Text only) http://linuxha.sourceforge.net/ (SourceForge) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II) |

For those of you wondering what's happened to the HA part of this group. I'm sorry but I've been busy with all sorts of standard stuff. I haven't forgotten my Linux HA project just having my time stretched past it's limits. I've managed to snag an eZ80 Web Server (and an extra eZ80 chip) and I'm in the process of getting some code running on that. In the process I'm working with a group of people who are working on the Open Source HCS project (the eZ80 may come into play with that). Some how Circuit Cellar has me sponsoring the project. I'm a little leary at having one person's name associated with the project. As it focus's the attention on one person and draws attention away from a lot of other people who are doing as much if not more work than I. So now I'm a PIM (I find humor in that as do a lot of other people), a techie and an author (more on that some other time). Maybe I should spend a little more time being a programmer and PIN on this project. _______________________________________________ https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxha-misc To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe Linuxha-misc" in the body of a message to Lin...@li... |

Check out http://cc-concepts.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/statlink/?cvsroot=Net_Modules PIC based inerface for these stats (Statnet and RCS) using RS-485 The StatNets are a bit pricy. But they are a VERY nice unit. However, another really nice setup that is somewhat less expensive is the TR-15 from RCS (www.resconsys.com) It uses a split setup with a display unit (utilizing the original 4 thremostat wires already there) and a control unit that goes near your furnace (or where ever your tstat wires terminate) They also make a new unit, TR-36 with a graphical LCD display - I wanted to add support for the cool msg display - but the PIC I used didn't have enough RAM for the larger buffer's I'd need. But the code above works well - I've used it in my home for some time.... Problem was I never got all the functions added into the HCS firmware (HA controller) Mike John Klar wrote: > Has anybody written a driver for any of the communicating thermostats? > > I like the looks and behavior of the Aprilaire [formerly Statnet] 'stats, > but I'm not about to fork over $500 just to manage 2 heat zones and 1 > cooling zone, so I'm looking at the RC-80's. > > The RC-80's, much like the ALC switches, use a strictly polled master- > slave arrangement.

Has anybody written a driver for any of the communicating thermostats? I like the looks and behavior of the Aprilaire [formerly Statnet] 'stats, but I'm not about to fork over $500 just to manage 2 heat zones and 1 cooling zone, so I'm looking at the RC-80's. The RC-80's, much like the ALC switches, use a strictly polled master- slave arrangement. The Aprilaire's can be configed to emit event notifications. John PS - Hey Neil!

You may want to take a look at the TINI ( http://www.ibutton.com ), a compact Java based microcontroller with an Ethernet port meant for embedded applications. Single quantities of the TINI+carrier will run you a little shy of $100 US. You may need to write some (or all of the software) though.

For a project at work I'm looking for a box (or a piece of software to run on a PC) which will execute a schedule according to time and/or external triggers and output a scripted series of contact closures and serial strings for each event. I would like the device to get it's time reference from an NTP server on the network. I would like to be able to control, load and modify the schedule over a TCP/IP link. The Leightronix TCD/IP (www.leightronix.com) is sort of what I'm looking for but the remote Gui is windows based and takes a lot of network bandwidth, I would really like a web-based GUI could run on Unix, Macintosh and Windows machines.

Greetings, all. I know I was never really active in this Linux HA stuff -- unfortunately my activity never really took off. Anyway, I have recently switched from PCs to Macintosh -- mostly to move to OS X. Anyway, to fund part of that (specifically the purchase of OS X 10.1) I am selling some hardware. I won't list it all, but I thought someone here might be interested in my CM11a ActiveHome Starter Kit from X10.com. Oh, I have a couple of wall switches too. I have of course the original box (and probably all original plastic wrap). Email if interested. Thanks! Daniel PS - the main reason I'm selling the X10 hardware is that I could never figure out why my lights kept turning themselves on and off all throughout the day and night. I got tired of being awakened in the middle of the night by my wife who would detect lights coming on downstairs. Plus, my priorities changed from Linux to OS X. :) -- Eagle / ea...@li... eag...@li... (for NeXT Mail) |

I did get a reply on linux-kernel. At least the kernel source is
available (including a 7M Netscape core) which I've downloaded. They
still include several things behind a click-wrap that clearly cannot fall
under such a license (eg. gcc for instance).
About the only thing that I consider falling under their license are their
proprietary GUI and database components, but IANAL and they really need to
distribute their components in a separate package (the SDK still bundles a
linux kernel).
My interpretation of their SDK license is that while not Open Source isn't
terribly onerous and downright liberal compared to some (eg. FrontPage
'02's "shant diss MS" clause).
FWIW, it's 2.0.mumble uClinux {inspired/derived?} kernel/distro.
Seriously, I'm only interested in the hardware anyway. Dragonball based
hardware is a known quantity. As long as one's got the kernel and X or fb
running, there are a variety of other opne GUI's that'll fill the bill.

Hello list, Linux Devices has previewed Empower Technologies' PowerPlay III Linux PDA on the following page: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT2451726847.html As a PDA, you certainly get what you pay for (it's a bit underfeatured as a PDA), but think of it as a wall mounted controller, and things get a little more interesting (240x320 LCD, Linux derived OS, developer SDK available). A couple words of warning. Their website claims 6-8 weeks for delivery which I interpret to mean that they do not have stock on hand. Second, according to the following message to linux-kernel, Empower is not honoring linux's GPL license (no source), so there could be a licensing fight in the not too distant future, particularly since they're now soliciting sales. No further mention in linux-kernel beyond that thread. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=99593099325919&w=2 I've just pinged the linux-kernel list with a request for update. John |

I've been doing some poking around (during conference calls ;-) and I found some links related to Linux and Lonworks. There is a Russian company that uses a CLI management tool for Lonworks. There are other tools but I don't have a good grasp of Lonworks to know what everything is. I used to think that Lonworks either required a development system ($$$) or someone to design a system for your home (not for the DIY'r). Seems the A Discussion on Lonworks, HTI and Linux http://www.control.com/control_com/972987435/index_html Linux software (it's German and I'm not sure whatit is exactly): http://www.gesytec.de/index.htm Various device drivers, I2C, DMX, DAQ, CAN and Lonworks: http://www.siliconpenguin.com/Software/Drivers/ http://www.automatedbuildings.com/news/mar00/articles/adept/adept.htm CLI Lonworks package: http://www.nautsilus.ru/ Industrial Automation for Linux: http://www.puffinplc.org/ Lonworks products & a book on Lonworks (expensive): http://www.engenuity.com/ BTW, I've managed to get my HCSII up and running again. It turned out that my power supply & AC are somewhat borderline (the AC tends to DIP causing the power supply 's voltage to drop). I'm now using a slightly better supply (I have a Lab supply as backup :-) so now it's stable. And lastlt, my ECJ contest entry was a dud. Because the software I've collected is not Open Source (the licenses are not open source) I couldn't enter them into the contest.

OK, I've got it working, It's either the cable (multiple kludge 9-25) or it's the port, I'll check that later. I've done a little playing with the xclients xamon and x10pad. X10pad seems a little quirky as it doesn't send the first part of the code if I send a dim or bright. I'll check into that later.

Hmm, time to modifiy the serial port code, that should be done in the cpuxad library. Hmm, clocal off, ctsrts off, maybe I've got a bad cable or port. I know the ocelots (I have 2) are fine.

I've got 0.45 working just fine... I believe what you are running into is one of 2 things: 1) it can't 'hear' the ocelot. I'll leave out the obvious list of "Does the serial port work?" and check the cables but make sure you turn off all flow control. I spent about a half-hour the first time but since I had used the port for some other stuff the flow control was on. 2) you need a link from /dev/ocelot to the device Also, I'm running direct (xacmd, not client/server) and I forgot the details (diff later) but there was a problem with the using the ASCII version (xaacmd) when you send a lot of commands back-to-back because there isn't an acknowledgement.
