[misterhouse-users] Multiple X10 Interfaces

[Letcher R. <le...@co...>]

I have a problem that isn't common but I hope one of you can help me with a
solution.

I live on a small homestead in Western Washington that has two separate
electrical services, supplied by two transformers.  One service is for the
house and the second is for the "farm".  I have a number of X10 controlled
devices on both services which I'd like to control with mister house.

How can implement two X10 interfaces on the same computer?  I have several I
can use - a Merrick Lynx and a couple of cm11's.  Also, I don't mind if both
interfaces receive all the X10 commands since I use different house and unit
numbers (none are duplicated).

This system has been "growing" since 1980 and has evolved through several
generations of home-brew software/hardware (in 'C' and perl) and it's really
nice to have a group behind the mister house effort.  I'm evolving my system
to mister house one function at time.  After all, 21 years of continuous
running has caused things to get pretty involved! :-)
