I've got 128MB of memory. Maybe I should go out and get 2 256MB sticks since they are so cheap right now. I was running something called Ram Idle SE for a while which didn't seem to help the problem a lot. I'll take a look at memturbo to see if it is doing something different.

Hi all -- I've got a problem I'm sure someone's solved. I've got a couple of HawkEyes that I'm using as both motion and light/dark detectors. The issue is that around twilight (especially this far North), I get a whole bunch of 'hits' on the darkeness sensor (some transitions even fast enough for MH to 'ignore on successive pass'). What I've done thus far is set a timer that I can test along with the sensor, and only act if the timer is not active. The PROBLEM I've run into is that the transitions don't always occur fast enough (for example, I'll see the first 'it's dark' at 2030, then 'it's light' at 2031, and then not another 'it's dark' until 2050; and then the reverse occurs in the morning. What other sorts of approaches have folks taken to having MH respond to the FIRST hit, and then ignore subsequent transitions for some period of time? Thanks! Clay Jackson cl...@nw... |

It would be nice if mh could know your sunrise/sunset data based upon your latitude and longitude (I don't know how it does it, but the calendar program under XEmacs does this fine), and then you could program around the sunrise/sunset times. rob ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://webapps.myinternetplace.net/imp |

I think these global variables that are already calculated by mh can handle what you want (See widgets > Global Variables in the web interface) $Time_Sunrise $Time_Sunrise_Twilight $Time_Sunset $Time_Sunset_Twilight $Dark (0 if mh thinks it's light out, 1 if it's dark) ----- Original Message ----- >From: <ro...@my...> >To: <mis...@li...> >Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 2:30 PM >Subject: Re: [misterhouse-users] 'debouncing' Light Sensors > > > It would be nice if mh could know your sunrise/sunset data based upon your > latitude and longitude (I don't know how it does it, but the calendar program > under XEmacs does this fine), and then you could program around the > sunrise/sunset times. > > rob |

I am in the UK, at 9:24 AM. mh is insisting on telling me it is 8:24 AM. When I reset the Windows clock to the correct time, a few minutes later set_clock puts it back to time minus 1 hour. I think this started yesterday evening, but it may have been earlier. I have spent an hour trying to fix it. Clive |

Is this a new problem for you? Happen with a recent mh release? A common cause for bad times from mh is having the TZ (time zone) env var set. If you see it is set (echo %TZ), try unsetting it.

This will probably go down as the most trivial of changes, but... in telnet.pl, the commands typed into MH's telnet interface are repeated back. I've found it is much neater to look at if the "Command: $data" is preceded with a \r\n :) This puts the echoback onto a new line by itself, rather than appearing in the next character space on the telnet window after the actual command which was typed in. The question I have is this: is there anyone using MH in conjunction with those iButton door locks?

Problem may have started about the same time as I installed a Pace Solo modem (from E-bay), which is currently giving me reliable UK caller ID. (Only problem is that sometimes COM4 gets stuck 'open', and mh can't access it because it is already open). I also installed an EPSON stylus printer last week. %TZ unset now (and re-booted), but no progress. Currently I have set the Windows clock for an hour ahead, and disconnected set_clock. Clive |

We have a few posts on this problem over on the old mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/misterhouse/messagesearch?query=daylight%20sav ings The solution in that case was unsetting TZ. We did dig up another url, but it looks more relevant to C coders: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q148/6/81.asp Another work around might be to set TZ (to -1,0,or 1). Bruce |

I think you are right that the TZ setting is part of the problem. On a quick look round, other computers do not have TZ set. However, there is a problem: no matter how often I unset TZ (whether to blank, 0, 1, 2, or to GMT6), the OS sets it to GMT0 again. Something in the OS is messing me about here, and I am still stuck.

Hi Clive As you know I'm in the UK and mine time is also correct like robins. I'm not sure what to suggest other that the usual, check the mh.ini and also a re-boot. Not sure what OS you are running but also just check the flag is set in windows clock for summer time adjustment i.e. + 1 hour.

Actually, mh DOES know sunrise/sunset, and even does twilight calculations.
