I know this is going to sound like I am really mad but I am just frustrated. I have read all the items I can find on how to get MisterHouse to work but I am not having any luck. it keeps crashing. My biggest problem is I can't get the X10 part to work and I have tried a CM11 and CM17. Both of these will work with other X10 programs. I have tested my com port and it is working. I am running Ubuntu. I have other problems as well. I would like to use MisterHouse with out having to re-write code. Is there anything on the web that can help. All the mailing list items I find about my problem are very unclear and go back several years. I don't have the money to upgrade to insteon at this time. If I need to try a different way of asking questions please let me know. Someone please help! Mike |

Mike, I am sitting in an airport, with little ability to help at the moment. But in order for anyone to provide assistance, we need more information than "it doesn't work" Try and tackle one problem at a time. Does MH startup? Do you get any error messages? Have you made MH.private.INI file yet? What is the contents of that? Have you made any mht files yet? What do they look like? Lots of people on the list use x10.

Mike, What does it crash with. I used mh for many years with a old cm11. Though the code and server was quite old, I think mh was from 2003, it ran stable for many year. But anyway, post some specific symptoms, and I'll try to help. George On 02/06/2014 07:50 PM, Mike McElmurray wrote: > I know this is going to sound like I am really mad but I am just > frustrated.

Agreed. If you can send us the logs that shows the startup and crash, it'll be a lot easier to figure out what's going on, As Kevin said, send your .ini and mht files as well. I'm running the current release with a cm11 now, and it works fine. I'm sure we can help you figure out what the problem is.

Mike, Does the log cover testing with both the CM17 and CM11? Just wondering as I see messages from both. You might try adding a debug=x10:4 to the mh.private.ini You can also enable it through the "Browse Misterhouse" button, there are a few buttons. - show debug, set debug, and toggle debug. It will also show the debug setting in an entry field at the top, so you can change the level and press enter to update it. If the buttons are not active, you might need to set an admin password. I'm not sure what happens if one is not set. I seem to recall needing to set one to get out of family mode into admin mode. misterhouse/bin/set_password --help You should be able to send on and off commands to the applicance from the web interface, no user code required.

First (well,, maybe not first, but certainly up there) the items.mht file defines the X10 devices. So nothing in it means it certainly won't work. Probably a poor example, but: #X10MS, L3, Patio_Motion, Motion_Sensors, Motion #X10MS, L4, Patio_Brightness, Brightness_Sensors, Brightness # Yard2 is the motion sensor at : X10MS, L5, Yard2_Motion, Front(0;1), Motion, Motion_Sensors X10MS, L6, Yard2_Brightness, Brightness_Sensors, Brightness X10MS, L7, Walk_Motion, Front(6;0), Motion, Motion_Sensors # Brightness not enabled X10MS, L8, Porch_Motion, Front(32;0), Motion, Motion_Sensors # Brightness not enabled X10MS, L9, Porch_Brightness, Brightness_Sensors, Brightness # Brightness not enabled # Yard is the motion sensor at: X10MS, L10, Yard_Motion, Front(0;0), Motion, Motion_Sensors # Brightness not enabled, neighbors drive #X10MS, L11, Yard_Brightness, Brightness_Sensors, Brightness X10MS, L12, Garage_Motion, Garage(3;5), Motion, Motion_Sensors X10MS, L13, Garage_Brightness, Brightness_Sensors, Brightness X10MS, L14, GarageDoor_Motion, Garage(0;0), Motion, Motion_Sensors X10MS, L15, GarageDoor_Brightness, Brightness_Sensors, Brightness #X10A, M1, M_Transceiver, All_Lights, CM17 #X10A, M1, TV , CM17 X10A, M2, Bed_Lamp, All_Lights|Bedroom, CM17 X10A, M3, Lamp_1, All_Lights|LivingRoom(15;0), CM17 X10A, M4, Lamp_3, All_Lights|LivingRoom(0;5), CM17 X10A, M5, Porch_Light, All_Lights|Front(32;1), CM17 X10A, M6, Lamp_2, All_Lights|LivingRoom(17;0), CM17 X10A, M7, Stereo, , CM17 X10A, M8, Stereo_Volume, , CM17 X10A, M9, Garage_Flood, All_Lights|Front(1;1), CM17 So each item is defined by type, assigned a X10 code, and a label that you will use in the code to reference the devices. The 3rd column is the group, and the device that will be used to send the signal to it. in mh.private.ini you define your local variables, which include where all your personal code is: code_dir=d:/mh_local/code,d:/mh_local/code/common,d:/mh_local/code/lib code_dir_common=d:/misterhouse/mh/code/common data_dir=d:/mh_local/data web_dir=d:/mh_local/web sound_dir=d:/mh_local/sounds # To replace any MH code in my own development environment html_alias2_ia5 = d:/mh_local/web/ia5 html_alias2_bin=$config_parms{web_dir}/bin html_alias2_graphics=$config_parms{web_dir}/graphics html_alias2_email = d:/mh_local/data/email html_alias2_comics=$config_parms{web_dir}/comics #html_alias2_top10=$config_parms{data_dir}/web html_alias2_tv = $config_parms{web_dir}/tv html_alias2_code=d:/mh_local/code html_alias2_outside=d:/mh_local/data/web #cm11_port=COM1 #cm11_port=proxy localhost:8085 #cm17_port=COM1 #cm17_port=COM3 cm17_port=proxy localhost:8085 W800_module = X10_W800 W800_port = COM5 #W800_port = proxy localhost:8085 As well as which port the cm17 and / or cm11 is on (in my case above I'm handing it off to a proxy, don't do that just yet, as it will add more troubleshooting for you). MH isn't just plug and play. It's crazy powerful, but it's going to take some tinkering. once you have a working items.mht and a mh.private.ini, you can then control things automatically. Example (from my lights.pl) # Living Room if (&time_random_offset(&time_add("$Time_Sunset + :15"), 15)) { # speak "I turned on the Living Room light"; print_log "I turned on the Living Room light"; set $Lamp_1 'on'; } # 120625 if (&time_random_offset("12:45 AM", 15)) { if ((&time_random_offset("12:45 AM", 15)) && (state $mode_occupied ne 'party')) { # speak "I turned off the Living Room lights"; set $Lamp_1 'off'; set $Lamp_2 'off'; set $Lamp_3 'off'; } The website http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/ really has a ton of information on how to get set up. http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/mh.html really has everything to get most everything basic working, but you have to read through it carefully, and implement things a bit at a time. To assist in help, provided detailed information on your set up. Version of OS, version of MH. Exactly what have you done so far? What / how are you launching MH? What happens when you do so? When it crashes, what errors do you get? We're all glad to help, but we need some starting information.
