So in my current setup using Open Source Automation, I have a plugin that I wrote for checking the state of the IO and register lines of a parallel port for checking switch inputs. I use these for a few door sensors around my house and plan to add a few more. I am wondering if there is a plugin for a parallel port for such input. I do not want to have to go out and buy a weeder board or something else to do this if I don't have to as I am trying to keep costs down on my setup. Any help is appreciated.

I don't think there's an implementation of this in MH currently. Since MH leverages CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) for perl modules (xxxx.pm, i.e., "plugins", perl style), you could start with Device::ParallelPort.pm in a manner similar to what we were just discussing for Device::SerialPort.pm (that's what RCSs.pm uses to access serial hardware). Here's a link to the CPAN module: http://bit.ly/1jVTZeS I expect that the module would expose individual pins on the port, but I've never used it so I don't know for certain. Note that MH development has historically tried to support both *nix and Win32 implementations, so utilizing perl modules that make such cross-platform code possible has been a priority.
