[misterhouse-users] Proxy Questions

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

I hope Bruce is enjoying his vacation, but since the list is so quite =
maybe
this would be a good time to ask some questions I've been thinking =
about.

On our rural homestead we have a pumphouse that has a well system and an
adjacent 1000 gallon water storage tank.  It supplies our home which is
about 300' away through the woods with water.  It is also powered by a
different power main than the house (different transformer, etc). I want =
to
control the collecting of water from the well to the storage tank by
computer and interface it to misterhouse.  I have almost completed a
wireless network between the house and the pumphouse, needing only to
replace the test cables with permanent cat 5 cables.

I have misterhouse running under Linux at the house and plan to put an =
old
pc running Linux and misterhouse proxy in the pumphouse.  I already use
Weeder boards for I/O control at the house and plan to use more Weeder
analog and digital boards in the pumphouse.  I will be using A/D to =
measure
pressure (and thus volume) in the storage tank and to control pump =
relays
with the digital I/O board.  I also want to control some X10 in the
pumphouse with a CM11.

Here is the question.  Have you successfully used misterhouse proxy to
control Weeder I/O boards and also have Weeder I/O boards on the main
system?  How about CM11 interfaces or other serial devices?  If you have
done this would you post fragments that show how you declared the =
devices on
each system and examples of calls to them?

This seems like it should be simple but the details would be very =
helpful to
me.

Thanks.
