Neil,

Welcome to the list.

I too have Homeseer / exstreamer working via UDP which works fine for
me. Sounds as if you should be able to contribute to the list on the
more PC / hosting type issues, I know that's my biggest problem area,
I'm more into hard wiring stuff. You can see my latest project at
http://primrosecottage.no-ip.com
page 7 / 8 has most of the interesting
stuff on it. Can't be far from you as I am in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Nigel

Subject: [ukha_d] Introduction...



Having seen someone elses introduction post, reminded me I hadnt done
one
yet...so here it is!

Im 30, live in Surrey, but work mostly in London. I run my own computer
services company who provide web design, hosting etc and PCs for SMEs.
We
also do intranet development for some larger organisations (hence my
current posting address :-)

Have a small X10 system at home consisting of Homeseer connected to
CM12U,
with a few lamp modules, an outdoor floodlight, some internal wireless
PIRs
and X10 remote. Alot of bits and pieces not yet wired up as although Im
fine with wiring and electrics, Im nervous when it comes to cutting
holes
in floors and walls to run cables or access light fittings!

I also have a Extreamer wireless streaming MP3 player which allows me to
listen to my MP3 collection (stored on my PC upstairs) on the main
stereo
in the living room. The exsteamer is usually controlled by a web
interface
(ie from the PC or via wireless PDA) but I dont have one yet, so I use
the
X10 remote to send to a TM13U, which is then picked up by the CM12U and
Homeseer on the PC, which runs a script to send a UDP command over the
wireless LAN to the Exstreamer! Its a bit long winded but it works! This
also means I can control what music is playing in my house via the net
(Homeseers web interface)

I also have a webcam on the PC hooked up to Homeseer and the PIR sensor
which takes a snapshot of my landing if motion is detected and emails me
the picture. Pretty limited in operation at present as Im restricted by
the
USB cable length on the PC. Might invest in a Wireless webcam soon
though,
so I can mount one downstairs also.

I think thats about it - if you have any questions about any of the
above,
I'd be more than happy to answer them (or give you a demo if you wish!)

Cheers,

/Neil/
