RE: C-Bus and HomeGate

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael

I'm not familiar with the CNI - we use the PC Interface for connection
to Homegate - only pointers I would suggest, have you checked the
networks.txt file located in c:\clispal\c-gate\config - make sure it has
the correct details in it.

If you've got a PC Int, connect it up via that and I can probably talk
you through that -I had to play around to get it working, but mine now
works great via the PCI.

I hope you're not dissapointed when its all up and running, Homegate is
not the best program in the world.



Dean.

Hello everyone,
=20
I have run into some problems with getting my C-Bus installation to
"talk" to the C-Bus HomeGate software.  Although my installer is
also
chasing up the issue (the relevant person at Clipsal is on leave!) I
thought that I would ask here as I am constantly surprised at the level
of knowledge that this group manages to pool.
=20
Essentially, I am trying to get the HomeGate software to connect to the
C-Bus Network Interface (CNI) so that I can control anything on the
C-Bus network from HomeGate (and, therefore, my webpad).  The C-Bus
installation software works fine on the particular machine (so I know
that the connection is good) but the HomeGate software refuses to
connect to the CNI.
=20
As I understand it, the HomeGate software relies upon C-Gate software to
connect to the CNI.  I have the C-Gate software installed and it seems
to connect to the CNI at the correct IP address (in my case
192.168.0.50).  It uses port 14000 (which is set up as Channel 1 on the
CNI).  However, whenever it tries to send signals to the control port
(20023) it fails.  As a result, when I try to get HomeGate to connect to
the CNI (either at port 20023 or port 14000) it gives me an
"asynchronous socket error" and refuses to communicate.
=20
I do apologise if this is complete Greek to many of the UKHA list - I'm
just praying that someone, somewhere is using HomeGate (or C-Gate)
through a CNI and can let me know how they have it set up!
=20
Thanks for reading this rather long post - I'll let you know if I get a
solution from Clipsal in the meantime in case it helps anyone else in
the future.
=20
Kind regards,
=20
Michael.
