RE: CM12U software

["James, Daniel" <daniel.james@xxxxxxx>]

The easiest solution to this is the one you don't want to consider... :-)

 

i.e. networking the machines together... - Have you however thought about a wireless LAN, so you don't have to do the chiselling?

 

It would give you the benefit of being able to use the Homeseer web interface on your second PC, and also let you share a web connection, between the machines, printers, backup one machine to the other.... etc etc....

 

This could be done reasonably cheaply, and you could get away with just using two wireless LAN cards peer to peer.

 

I would suggest that this is the easiest solution.

 

Otherwise you could buy another Homeseer licence, and run that on your second machine, and plug the CM12U into the wall, Homeseer has the advantage that it can Listen to X10 commands that are occurring on your wiring, so it will keep reasonable track of the status of stuff, (only while the PC is powered up).

 

Hope this helps

 

Daniel

On topic!

I have the house controlled quite happily using Homeseer with a CM12U; and
as I bought a spare CM12U when Homebase were doing the clearout, I figured I
should put it to use somewhere.

So the question is; is there any Windows software that I can run on my
normal game/internet PC (as opposed to my HA PC under the stairs) that can
simply be configured with a layout containing named buttons (eg, bedroom
lights on, Garden off etc.. like I have on my pronto) that will then send
X10 commands using the spare CM12U?

I know I _could_ use the supplied software for this, but I was after
something much simpler as all of the clever stuff is handled by HomeSeer.

Neither PC's have eithernet, so the CM12U is the only way they could talk to
each other. The Homerseer web interface would be nice, but I would need to
chisel CAT5 into the wall, which is not going to happen!

Thanks - Steve
