RE: HomeVision commands

[Mike Griffiths <mike@xxxxxxx>]

If it is just simple non important commands via  you can run a CM12 module

Getting this to fire off X10 commands to be picked up by Homevision to run the true X10 command

Then just install part of the active home element(I'm going from memory now)

Then you just run the exey with A1 off after it

This then runs from any PC you have a CM12 attached to

Sorry I'm being vague here but its about 2 years since I played with the CM12

Missed that one first time round, thanks Mike (and Craig). This looks spot

on for what I need, once I can work out the magic runes for the serial

commands. I simply want to do some scripting that can turn on lights etc.

 

Cheers.

The latest version has a new prog called HVdesktop.exe

 

I quote >from

HomeVision users,

 

We've put a new beta version of the HomeVision software (version 3.3) on our web page at:

 

   http://www.csi3.com/beta_32.htm

 

This version adds three features:

 

1.   The software can automatically synchronize the controller's clock with the PC clock. 

 

2.   A small new software program has been created that provides another way to control your home.   This program allows icons on your computer desktop to send a command to HomeVision.   For example, one icon might turn on a light, another might lower your thermostat setpoint by one degree, another might trigger a macro, etc.   This new program is called "HV Desktop". In order for it to function, the regular HomeVision application must be running on the PC and be connected to the HomeVision controller. You can then create "shortcuts" on your desktop that run the "HV Desktop" program. Each shortcut must contain a "command line" parameter that specifies an ASCII serial message to send to HomeVision. When this shortcut is run, the "HV Desktop" program will run (but will be invisible), will send a Windows message to the HomeVision application, and will then shut down. The message tells the HomeVision application to send the serial message to the HomeVision controller, which it does (after adding a carriage return to the end). The controller then executes the command.

 

3.   If you have a HomeVision add-on serial port, HomeVision can automatically take data received from one serial port and transmit it out one or more of the other ports.    Note: This requires a new beta PROM.

 

Thanks,

I don't know if you can get HV to do much without using a client such as ACE or HA. TBH, I've never really tried though I seem to remember reading in the HV bible that you could get it to fire up certain programs and suchlike although I could be wrong as I wasn't paying much attention due to the fact I have no need for such a thing.

 

What is it you want to do?

Quick easy question (I hope) - what is the easiest way to

get HV to do something from my PC? Is there a command

line interface?

 

Bov!
