Re: xPL-Homevision

Hi guys

Ok first things first I have just updated the program as it was only
accepting x10 code like A1 rather than a1 as well. So feel free to
get the latest version as of about 2 minutes ago. But that's the
only change.

First it's best to export your schedules and copy the file into the
xpl_Hvision directory as HVInput.hvx. Otherwise you can get an
occasionally error, I haven't had chance to fully debug why yet.

The next thing is to start the program like

xpl_Hvision /debug

This will open up another option on the menu that allows you to
switch views. You can then see the messages coming in (at the
bottom) and then messages going to HV on the right.

Make sure you have event reporting switch on in the HV program
(configure-controller setting).

A quick way to test it is to right click on the xpl-hv in xpl manager
and there should be an option to send x10 signal. If not go to about
plugins and download the latest gshed plugin.

The other way is to send a x10.basic message
xpl_cmnd
{
...normal details...
}
x10.basic
{
command=on
device=a1
}

The other thing is have the monitor open while doing all this so you
can see the messages going back and forward. When you send a
x10.basic the HV app should respond with a x10.confirm. You should
also see sensor.basic messages for timers, flag, variable etc
changing.

I'm in and around most the morning so will check up later and see how
you are doing.
