[Xal-users] Interrupting poll

[Kevin S. <Kev...@th...>]

I am using the xal functions through the pyX10 interface and I am having
trouble implementing a rather simple scenario.  I implement a poll in a
while loop to track all traffic on a CM11 as follows:

c = xal.x10_controller_open(xal.X10_CONTROLLER_CM11)
x = xal.x10_event_t()
while xal.x10_poll(c, x, None):
   <<Do operations here.>>

This works great.  However, I have a cron job that invokes X10 commands such
as xal.x10_on(), xal.x10_off(), etc.  The problem is that I don't know how
to interrupt the above while loop to allow me to send these commands.  The
xal.x10_on() command just hangs.  How can I get around this?

Thats good news. I will go ahead and order one then. Will let you know
when I have tested it.

thanks

Hi Justin,

It would appear that the CM12U is just the UK version of the CM11.  The
CM11 is supported by XAL, so you should (in theory :) be able to use it to
control your CM12U.  Please try it out and post back what you find out.  I
don't have a CM11 (yet) so my testing in that area is limited.

Thanks,
Scott

[Xal-users] CM12U

[Justin C. <jp...@do...>]

I am about to order a CM12U controller. This is a UK (240V) controller.
Any idea if it is software compatible with any other controller (eg
supported by xal)? If not, where can I get the specs to write controller
code? (Who actually makes these things?)

[Xal-users] [Announce] XAL v4.0.2

[<ka...@dy...>]

XAL version 4.0.2 has been released.

Added in this version are support for the TWSER X10 device (courtesy of Les
Smithson).  Some portability issues have also been addressed and in theory XAL
should compile on most UNIX systems.  Please check the platforms page
(http://xal.sourceforge.net/platforms.html) to see what has been tested.  If
you have compiled and run XAL on any other platform please post your results.

Enjoy!
Scott
