Re: [mh] New Class Structure - Wiki Page, comments enclosed...

[Jack E. <ja...@lo...>]

Matt,

Sorry, but I didn't see how to add to the Wiki.

It says Protected at the top of the page...

I would like to add:

Elk Product's M1 has a serial interface that (with an add-on) converts
seamlessly to Ethernet...

I have the Ethernet.

M1 has a protocol, and eventually I will find some way to integrate this
with MH.

Since we're laying the foundational groundwork in this Wiki, I want to
make sure the needed hooks are made to exist...

I would like to be able to:

1) Send and receive my X10 thru the M1.
   a) M1 will send the received X10 onto the LAN...
   b) M1 can send X10 from commands sent over the LAN...

2) Send and receive my Insteon thru the M1.
   a) M1 will send the received Insteon onto the LAN...
   b) M1 can send Insteon from commands sent over the LAN...

3) Accept occupancy info from M1...
   a) Zone violations are sent over the LAN...

There are more things I will want, but I don't know if they belong herein.

4) M1 sends a time/date "heartbeat" we can watch for.
5) We can set M1's clock...
6) Read temperature information from M1's keypads and add-on sensors...
7) Access M1's outputs - so I can turn on my sprinklers which are M1
controlled.

Gotta run...

Thanks for all your efforts, Matt and everybody!

Sincerely,

Jack
