Re: [mh] CM15A 'installed' and not working

No, hince the reason for my posting. I can use various perl scripts to turn
off my x10 equipment. I don't know if I have properly setup MH to work with
things. Other then the afore mentioned changes I haven't done much else.

I have created a mht file:

GROUP, LivingRoom,  Property(0;0;0;0)
GROUP, ParentBedRoom,     Property(2;2;2;2)
GROUP, Bathroom,        Property(3;3;3;3)
GROUP, Kitchen,         Property(1;1;1;1)
GROUP, KeirnanBedRoom,Property(4;4;4;4)

X10I, J1, computer_light, All_Lights|LivingRoom(1;1;1;1), CM15A
X10I, J2, floor_lamp, All_Lights|LivingRoom(2;2;2;2), CM15A
X10I, J3, reading_table_lamp, All_Lights|LivingRoom(3;3;3;3), CM15A
X10I, J4, kitchen_light, All_Lights|Kitchen(2;2;2;2), CM15A
X10I, J5, parent_light, All_Lights|PrentBedRoom(3;3;3;3), CM15A
x10I, J6, bathroom_light, All_Lights|Bathroom(4;4;4;4), CM15A
X10I, J7, keirnan_light, All_Lights|KeirnanBedRoom(5;5;5;5), CM15A

That's about it. However a small update, on tailing the mh.log file and
watching the responses I find this:

CM15A processing J1
CM15A dim=0 header=100 hb=1111 cb=0110
button_action.pl eval error: Can't call method "syswrite" on an undefined
value at /opt/misterhouse/mh/bin/../lib/site/ControlX10/CM15A.pm line 509,
<HTML> line 36.

Now just to make matters even more confusing, I thought for a moment and
remembered that my CM15A.pm was overwritten by the tar update that I got. So
I pulled the one off from the wiki here:

http://users.zoominternet.net/~cm15a/CM15A.pm

I diff compared the two files and its like night and day so I swapped them
and reloaded. The error I get from that one is:

CM15A.pm error. Invalid command code: 2 .
button_action.pl eval error: Can't use an undefined value as a symbol
reference at /opt/misterhouse/mh/bin/../lib/site/ControlX10/CM15A.pm line
133, <HTML> line 36.

I checked the headers on both files and both claim to be the same exact
file, which obviously they are not. Someone's been a bad little programmer
for not updating the headers. Not that I'm complaining because I'm not, I
realize I'm getting something for nothing and should expect nothing except
what I am given.

Incidently the headers say the following:
# Written by Paul DeMarco
# Aug 28, 2005
# An X10 ActiveHome interface, used by Misterhouse ( http://misterhouse.net
)
#
# Uses the USB driver by Neil Cherry

I notice that $VERSION = '0.01'; when I'm using a version .02 driver, but
I'm not going to complain.

And last but not least, Neil had suggested to me that I use my ActiveHome
program to set all my devices to computer control rather then to device
control, which I haven't done, or something like that. Don't quite remember. 

My wife is been ill, and my mythtv box has been having "issues", both not
related to MH or the CM15A. Although the wife really likes the CM15A, its
nice to be able to turn off every light in the house with one button.
